treatment, angermanagement and prison. Gendermatters fromthe

failure of clinicians to identify it in men to the failure of researchers

to study how it affects men differently and the treatment implica-

tions of those dissimilarities.

Methods

The authors propose a retrospective study investigat-

ing all patients hospitalized with Borderline Personality Disorder

diagnosis from 2000 to 2015 in Baixo Vouga Hospitalar Center.

Results

From an average of 500 patients admitted per year, in

the considered period, the number of men with this psychiatric

diagnosis was irrelevant.

Conclusions

Taking into account the results, it is important recog-

nise some gender differences in borderline personality disorder

with respect to specific types of self-harm behavior, such as self-

cutting or levels of psychological distress at clinical presentation in

order to prevent clinical disgnosis failure.

Introduction

According to time perspective (TP), theory

behaviour is influenced by the individual’s perception of his/her

past, present and future. Boyd and Zimbardo postulate that a

healthy balance between orientation to the past, present and

future exists.

Objectives

Investigation of TP in the context of psychopathology.

Aims

To investigate and compare TP in Obsessive Compulsive

(OCD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Method

Twenty-eight OCD and 28 BPD patients (36% of men),

matched for age and education, completed the Greek version of

the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI); a 56-item self-

administered questionnaire measuring individuals’ orientations to

the past, present, and future. ZTPI consists of five factors: Past

Negative (PN), Past Positive (PP), Present Hedonistic (PH), Present

Fatalistic (PF) and Future (F).

Results

BPD patients scored significantly higher in PH and PF and

significantly lower in PP factors than OCD patients. No significant

gender differences emerged for either group. In the BPD group,

age correlated significantly negatively with PH, while education

correlated positively with F.

Conclusion

The study’s findings suggest that BPD patients have

a hedonistic orientation towards time and life and a help-

less/hopeless attitude towards the future to a significantly greater

degree than OCD patients, whereas OCD patients seem to have a

more positive and nostalgic attitude towards the past than BPD

patients. Further research would provide additional information

concerning the role of TP in OCD and BPD patients.

Introduction

Personality disorders designate a series of person-

ality traits involving a behavioural pattern characterized by the

recurrent violation of social norms, the importance of medico-legal

implications associated to personality disorders being incon-

testable.

Objective

This study aims to obtain a clear image regarding the

particularities of violent behaviour, and also the mechanisms of

anger in personality disorders, in relation with the legal implica-

tions of those reactions.

Methods

The present study is a synthesis of recent literature

(2012-2014) regarding the role of anger in violent behaviour with

legal implications, in personality disorders. The research was made

on PubMed, by the following keywords: personality disorder; vio-

lence in personality disorders; anger.

Results

The core element that determines violent behaviour is

anger. The physical effects of anger include increased heart rate and

blood pressure, aswell as an increase in the level of epinephrine and

norepinephrine. Therefore, anger can be considered an integrant

part of the response to a potential aggression or a potentially dan-

gerous environment. Several general circumstances can activate

anger. A strong example in supporting this theory is the bidirec-

tional relation between anger within personality disorders and the

use of alcohol and psychoactive substances. The individual gets

extra stimulation, including through their psychopharmacological

properties, thus exacerbating anger.

Conclusions

In conclusion, it is necessary to conduct future stud-

ies focusing on the underlying causes of violence in personality

disorders, as well as on the warning signs of potential violent acts,

considering that personality disorders alone often cannot explain

criminality.

Introduction

According to previous researches, the risk of addic-

tions and self-harm or suicidal behaviours seems to be higher in

patientswith personality disorders (PD) than in general population.

Objective

To prove that patients with the diagnosis of PD are in

the group of risk of addictions, self-harm behaviours and suicidal

attempts.
