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.
