with peers, and psychological quality of life. These analyses were

conducted using a sample of 453 participants from the community.

The final model explained 47% of psychological quality of life and

presented excellent model fit indices. Results from path analysis

showed that both early affiliative memories of warmth and safe-

ness with peers and attachment figures present a significant impact

on psychological quality of life through the indirect effect of exter-

nal shame and cognitive fusion. In fact, although early affiliative

memories with peers also presented a direct effect on psycholog-

ical quality of life, the impact of early affiliative memories with

attachment figures on this outcome was totally mediated through

the mechanisms of external shame and cognitive fusion.

These findings seem to provide an important contribution to the

field of early affiliative memories of warmth and safeness with

attachment figures and with peers by uncovering the mediating

role of external shame and cognitive fusion. Furthermore, these

data highlighted the relevance of developing intervention pro-

grams in the community, especially in a context of early adverse

experiences, for the promotion of mental health well-being.

general population in 2015, views

from four countries

Introduction

In recent years, numerous studies about the image

of psychiatry have been conducted. However, to our knowledge,

a significant part of psychiatry has been very little explored: the

vision of psychiatric hospitals (PsH). For instance, “PsH” on google

images reveals a long list of frightening pictures of ravaged places.

Objectives/Aims

With such an image spread by the medias, we

wanted to evaluate the vision of PsH and treatment modalities

among general population in 2015, in 4 countries: France, Spain,

England, and Brazil.

Methods

An online survey in 4 languages has been sent via face-

book and emails. Two hundred and fifteen responseswere collected

during September 2015: 178 French, 11 Spanish, 17 Brazilians, 9

English.

Results

Thirty-nine percent of participants consider PsH as a

place of care, and 16% as an asylum. There were differences among

countries: for example, asylum is more represented in France than

Spain. Regarding patients admitted in PsH, they are not all danger-

ous (90%), nor all irresponsible (94%) and have specifics rights (66%).

Concerning diseases: delirium, bipolar disorders, and perversity are

to be treated in PsH, while depression, addiction, and autism are to

be cured in psychiatric structures other than hospital. Moreover,

2% of participants believe abuses are common practice, whereas a

majority consider therapeutic activities instead.

Conclusions

These results are quite different from the studies

based on the perception of mental illness and patients. Here, on

the overall, they are quite encouraging. So, PsH could lead the path

on the improvement of the image of psychiatry.

Introduction

Infertility is described as a low-control stressor that

may induce psychopathological symptoms. The Mindfulness Based

Program for Infertility (MBPI) is a structured intervention targeting

infertile women that aims to cultivate mindfulness and acceptance

skills. TheMBPI efficacywas tested in 55 infertilewomenwho com-

pleted the program and 37 women in a control group. By the end

of the MBPI, women who attended the program revealed a sig-

nificant decrease in depressive symptoms, internal and external

shame, entrapment and defeat. Inversely, they showed significant

improvement in mindfulness skills and self-efficacy to deal with

infertility.

Aims

Determine the MBPI feasibility and acceptability.

Methods

The MBPI includes 10 weekly sessions, in a group

format, with the duration of about 2 hours each. Participants’

recruitment was supported by the Portuguese Fertility Associa-

tion. Fifty-five female participants with an infertility diagnosis who

were pursuing medical treatment for infertility completed a ques-

tionnaire specifically developed to address the acceptability and

satisfaction with the MBPI at the end of the 10th session.

Results

Participants scored as “very useful” most of the MBPI

components (mindfulness practice, acceptance skills, values clar-

ification, psychoeducation on stress and fertility-related lifestyle

factors), except for the yoga component. The same pattern was

found for the utility information, group support, small group

exercises, contact with the therapist, progress notes and MBPI

materials. Themean score for satisfactionwith the therapist knowl-

edge/competence was 9.55 (maximum: 10), the MBPI quality 8.91

and the MBPI global utility 8.95.

Conclusions

The MBPI showed to be feasible and well accepted

by participants.

Introduction

Although there is an augmenting interest for the

applications of classical music in psychiatry, traditional folk music

is not properly highlighted in the literature.

Objective

In this paper, we examine the possible benefits that

psychiatric patients who attend music therapy in psychiatric set-

tings may have when traditional folk music and/or classical music

are used in the process of rehabilitation.

Method

A literature search of the electronic databases was per-

formed to identify relevant studies published before June 2015.

Results

Ameta-analysis of the existing research revealed the pos-

itive influence of passive and active music listening on different

groups of neurological and psychiatric patients’ anxiety, pain, ten-

sion and stress, and a series of cognitive and emotional changes

that occur due tomusic interventions on patients and doctors alike.

A general finding from the 700 diverse retrieved articles is that

classical music has a positive influence on psychiatric patients. In

contrast to that, there is scarce research for traditional music in

psychiatric settings.

Conclusions

Music has a strong influence on psychiatric patients.

Future research should focus on different questions such as how

the knowledge of the varieties of the different types of (folk) music

can enrich the music therapy in psychiatric settings.
