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.

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.
