Introduction

Personality disorders (PD) are weight group of

conditions. As possible causes of PD, literatures indicates being vic-

tim/witness of domestic violent. There is valid suspicion that PDs

may have influence on marital status, education level and profes-

sional activity.

Objective

Studying the PD influence on patients quality of life

concerning both personal and professional areas of life.

Aim

Analysis of the exposition to the violence in relation to PD

diagnosis. Evaluation of the education level and professional activ-

ity in studied group, furthermore marital status.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of 123 patients diagnosed with

PD hospitalized over the years 2012-2015 in the Department of

psychiatry and psychotherapy, medical university of Silesia hos-

pital. Statistic analysis of variables and comparing with previous

researches.

Results

Three quarters of hospitalized patients were females.

Average age was about 50 years old.

Proximal martial status: 40% single, 60% formalized relationship

(about 20% were divorced).

Among participants, 50% were employed, and 80% have completed

at least 12 years of education.

About 40% had been victim/witness of domestic violence.

Conclusions

The patients with PD had often experienced the

domestic violence in childhood. Higher risk of impaired person-

ality development with patients, who had been violence victim

or witness is possible and they need to be advised accordingly.

Research did not reveal PDs’ influence on the education level. To

define correlation between employment or marital status and PD

further researches are needed.

Vulnerability and psychopathology.

Reviewing a model in theory of

psychiatry

I. Bone-Pina

Universidad Pontificia Comillas, psychology, Madrid, Spain

Introduction

The vulnerability model is prevalent in the current

Theory of Psychiatry. Systematic reflection after reviewing the his-

torical proposition of this model can enrich its contents.

Objectives

Complete and deepen the meaning of the concept

“vulnerability” in Psychiatry.

Aims

Review historical approaches to the concept of vulnera-

bility in Psychopathology. The study starts with Zubin & Spring

and reaches contemporary approaches especially in the writings

of Giovanni Stanghellini.

Seek sources to deepen its meaning looking back to Karl Jaspers and

Ludwig Binswanger’s classical Psychiatry. They offer psychopatho-

logical notions that can be used to enrich a model of vulnerability.

Methods

This is research in the context of Theory of Psychiatry,

its method implies a historical literature review and a systematic

philosophical reflection.

Results

Vulnerability is still revealed to be the best concept to

organize a model of mental illness. This study proposes to avoid

any simple identification of vulnerability with statistical or genetic

risk. Vulnerability in psychopathology should always be confronted

with the horizon of human subjectivity. To keep in viewthis horizon

– a limit impossible to grasp – is indispensable for clinicians and

researchers if they want to understand patients who suffer mental

illness. This process is helpful to avoid any reductionism about the

image of mental illness and about the human being who suffers

that illness.

Conclusion

“Vulnerability” is shown as a concept that needs to be

thought over thoroughly and to be present in psychopathology to

overcome reductionism and to understand the very possibility of

psychiatric illness.

The Bipolar II construct from the

perspective of hacking’s historical

ontology framework

C. Cabrera Abreu

Queen’s university, department of psychiatry, Kingston, Canada

Objective

This oral presentation has two objectives: (a) to trace

the originof the contemporary criteria (DSM-III and its iterations) of

the Bipolar II construct; (b) to highlight some conceptual problems

in the context of its checkered contemporary history.

Methods

In this oral presentation/paper, some of Ian Hacking’s

ideas andmethods are applied,

sui generis

, to the Bipolar II disorder

category. In particular, the “Historical ontology” framework, which

has been appliedwith some success in historical studies concerning

“Transient mental illness”.

Results

The Bipolar II disorder construct is an intriguing DSM-

IV category/construct that comfortably piggybacks on the category

manic-depressive psychosis. Tracing the recent history of this con-

struct is complex; its birth is associated with the Unipolar/Bipolar

dichotomy suggested more or less simultaneously by Jules Angst

and by Carlo Perlis in 1966 and in two different publications. The

fundamental dichotomy introduced by them, has partially hidden

some of the limitations of the construct Bipolar II. Its recent history
