which can cause significant skin damage. Research has evidenced
a Focused SP subtype, typically occurring in response to negative
emotions, anAutomatic subtype, occurringwithout awareness dur-
ing activities not related to the picking behavior, and a Mixed one.
Mindfulness skills have been studied as a protective factor involved
in the treatment of several psychiatric disorders. Studying Mind-
fulness deficits in SP might help to identify interventions tailored
for specific subtypes of SP behaviours.
Objectives The current study examined the relationship between
Mindfulness skills and pathological SP behaviours.
Aims The study aimed to investigate whether Mindfulness skills
deficits uniquely predicted SP subtypes behaviours after controlling
for general distress in a community sample.
Methods Ninety-seven community individuals (mean
age = 39.71, SD = 16.37, 59% females) completed measures of SP,
Mindfulness skills and general distress (anxiety and depression).
Results Lower Mindfulness skills of Describing Internal Experi-
ences (B = −0.12, P < 0.05) and higher anxiety (B = 0.08, P < 0.05)
predicted more severe Automatic SP. Lower Mindfulness skills of
Non-judging Inner Experiences (B = −0.12, P < 0.05), higher anxiety
(B = −0.12, P < 0.05) and higher depression (B =−0.12, P < 0.05) pre-
dicted more severe Mixed SP. Focused SP was not associated to
Mindfulness skills and general distress.
Conclusions Mindfulness skills deficits could be associated to
Automatic and Mixed but not Focused SP. Future studies should
investigate whether Mindfulness programs are effective for indi-
viduals reporting Automatic or Mixed SP behaviours.

Different studies have identified specific clinical characteristics of
patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in comorbidity
with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), although no perspec-
tive evaluations of prognosis and response to treatment have been
conducted so far. The aims of the present study were to evaluate:
(1) the clinical and demographic correlates of OCD patients with
comorbid SPD (OCD-SPD) using standardized instruments; (2) the
response of OCD-SPD patients to long-term naturalistic pharmaco-
logical treatment. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics
of patients with OCD-SPD were compared to patients with “pure
OCD”. OCD-SPD patients were characterized by a greater sever-
ity of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, earlier age at onset,
a higher rate of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in their first-
degree relatives and a poorer insight. During the observational
period, OCD-SPD patients were less likely to achieve remission of
their symptomatology and required a greater number of trials with
different antipsychotic drugs or receivedmore frequently augmen-
tationwith antipsychotics. Our findings suggested that comorbidity
with SPD is correlated to a poor treatment response in OCD patients
and a reduced likelihood to recover fromOCD symptoms, following
standard pharmacological treatments. Further research is needed
to identify alternative strategies for the management of this cohort
of patients.

Purpose Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental dis-
order characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions. Although
some epidemiological studies take part in literature, which claim
that traumatic life events in childhood ages are observed more in
patients with OCD compared to healthy population, the number of
these studies is limited. In this study, it is aimed to compare OCD
patients with healthy volunteers in terms of traumatic life events
in childhood ages.
Method With 25 consecutive patients who are diagnosed as OCD
and whose treatment continues, 25 healthy controls equivalent
in terms of sociodemographic features are included in the study.
Sociodemographic Data Form, Childhood Age Trauma Quarter
(CTQ) and Maudley Obsessive Compulsive Question List (MOCQL)
are applied to the participants. Significance Value in statistical level
is accepted as P < 0.05.
Findings In OCD patient group, CTQ scores are found high in sta-
tistical level compared to healthy controls. It has been determined
that there is a significant relationship between total score ofMOCQL
slowness subscale scores, subscale scores of sexual and emotional
abuse, MOCQL rumination subscale scores and CTQ sexual abuse
scores.
Result Compared to healthy controls, more findings of traumatic
life event in childhood age are observed within OCD patients.

Introduction Psycho-Oncology (PO) is a specific psychiatric
approach to cancer patients. The main psychiatric disorders
observed are delirium and adjustment disorders (AD) and the most
frequent treatments used are pharmacologic and psychotherapeu-
tic.
With regard to the type of cancer, the most frequent in Portugal are
breast, digestive and prostate.
