24th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 33S (2016) S349–S805

Aims

Examining the impact of cognitive functioning and every-

day memory.

Methods

A sample of 90 participants took part in this study. The

participants aged (21 and 65 yrs.) 47 of them are females aged

between average of (21.64 yrs.), and 43 males aged between aver-

age of (21, 49 yrs.). The participants were classified randomly into

three groups (a control group, and two experimental groups [pen

and oral writing]). The three groups were administered the Every

Memory Questionnaire and Taranto Alexithymia Scale.

Results

The results showed that there were no significant dif-

ferences among the three groups in each of the Alexithymia and

Everyday memory, which indicates random distribution of the

three groups. The results showed that both of the experimental

groups were improved on everyday memory functioning. More

importantly, the results indicated that there were no significant

differences between using pen or figures in expressive writing to

improve Everyday memory.

Conclusion

Study results showed the significant impact of

expressive writing on every day memory functioning, furthermore,

the study results are used to empathize on the cognitive rehabilita-

tion of the individuals as well as to improve self-esteem on general

psychological individual cases.

Introduction

Patient’s outgroup socialization may be a problem

in the psychotherapeutic group functioning. Disadvantages – and

even benefits – of this common issue in psychotherapy have been

described (Vinogradov S., Yalom I.). However, the impact of new

social networks – that facilitate other ways of immediate and easy

communication – on this phenomenon is still unknown.

Aims and objectives

To explore the risks of spontaneous “self-help

groups” supported by new technologies for the psychotherapeutic

group functioning.

Method

Course description of a psychotherapeutic group, com-

posed by patients with eating disorders (bulimia nervosa and binge

eating disorder) in the context of a specialized hospital day.

Results

A patient – who has recently had a breakup – asked

help to the group through a non-reported whatsapp chat. Grad-

ually, patients used this new channel to express distress and daily

interpersonal difficulties, showing less implication in the super-

vised group sessions. The patient presented a symptomatic relapse

with self-harm injuries and severe eating symptoms. Finally, she

left the therapy and, in the next weeks, other patients also left

the group, due to different reasons, in a “drag phenomenon”. The

analysis showed that the formation of this outgroup socialization

changed the relationships between members and new roles were

taken.

Conclusions

It is necessary to early address the formation of out-

group socialization in the pre-group interview, emphasizing its

high risk for the future group functioning. Therapists should con-

sider that out-group communication is common and easy due to

new technologies, so the use of specific questionnaires about this

issue may prevent or detect pathological events.

Introduction

Most experienced psychotherapists use an eclec-

tic approach in their practice, combining techniques of different

schools of psychotherapy to treat their patients. However, there

are no good teaching models to train the new generation of psy-

chotherapists in the technique of psychotherapy integration. FEP is

a form of psychotherapy that combines techniques from four dif-

ferent psychotherapies: psychodynamics, CBT, IPT and supportive

therapy. It also incorporates mindfulness, motivational interview-

ing, exercise and nutrition. A strong therapeutic alliance is crucial to

the success of FEP. Techniques are tailored to the patient’s current

clinical state. Several techniques from different psychotherapies

may be used in the same session. The therapist is empathic, flex-

ible adaptive to the patient’s needs and assumes an active role in

the therapeutic process.

Objective

To present a model of psychotherapy integration that

can be used by psychotherapists in their clinical practice.

Aims

We aim to present a model of psychotherapy integration

that can be taught and implemented by psychotherapists in their

clinical practice.

Results

We present ten case examples were FEP was effective

clinically and we compare it to the standard of care received by

these patients and show the savings to the healthcare system.

Conclusion

The results of our study suggest that FEP could be a

cost effective treatment that could be added to the psychother-

apists toolbox. Teaching and training methods, like manuals and

workshops can be developed to train the new generation of psy-

chotherapists.

In the past century, psychotherapy methods have been improv-

ing along with pharmacotherapy methods. Today’s psychotherapy

treatments are more effective, faster and highly accessible. Psy-

chotherapy is getting more favor by patients and therapists than

pharmacotherapy due to its long-term effectiveness and less side

effects. However, for a young and recent graduate psychiatrist who

works in small city of a developing country, psychotherapy involves

more concerns. Here, there is still a social stigma attached to visiting

a psychiatrist, even for a very simple adjustment disorder. Also we

have an ineffective insurance system and many people are not able

to pay the treatment costs. Moreover, psychological mindedness is

rare and many people believe that the symptoms like obsession,

depression, and anxiety in a person are intentional and have to be
