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
