- Abstract
Early interventions may promote reductions in mothers' anxiety-depression (AD) symptoms and improvements in their offspring. This longitudinal randomized research was conducted to assess the effects of interdisciplinary online therapeutic groups (GIO) in at-risk mothers and babies during the COVID-19 pandemic in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Barcelona (Spain). A total of 135 babies were born from March 2020 to June 2021 in a primary healthcare center of Barcelona (Spain). Pregnant woman and new mothers were screened for AD symptomatology through EPDS and STAI questionnaires. Seventy-two of them met high-risk criteria for AD and were included in the study. They were randomly assigned into the two groups of the study: 40 participants were assigned to GIO, the therapeutic group (TG), while 32 of them were assigned to the control group (CG) and received treatment as usual. The course of the mothers' symptomatology was assessed, as well as the baby's development at 6 months old in a blind pediatric follow-up. No differences were found in AD between both groups before the intervention. However, we obtained a significant decrease in AD symptomatology (EPDS p < .001; STAI state p = .015 and STAI trait p < .001at 6 months of life) after the intervention in the TG compared to the CG. Pediatric follow-up at 6 months demonstrated significant differences between groups in babies' development assessment (manipulation p = .003; language p < .001; sociability p < .001). The GIO helped to ensure healthy development of the baby and reduction of the mothers' depressive-anxiety symptomatology., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Aims: Psychotic disorders are one of the main causes of chronic disability in young people. An at-risk mental state (ARMS) is represented by subclinical symptoms that precede the first episode of psychosis (FEP). The PsyYoung project aims to optimize the detection of an ARMS while reducing unnecessary psychiatric treatments. It investigates the effects of service changes on the referrals and outcomes of young people with ARMS or a FEP., Methods: Six psychiatric outpatient clinics in three cantons (Basel-Stadt, Vaud, and Geneva) participated in the project. They passed through an implementation phase including service changes and the adaptation of a standardized stepped care model for diagnosis and assessment, in addition to measures for increasing the awareness, networking and training of local professionals., Preliminary Results: All participating cantons had entered the implementation phase. By March 2023, there were 619 referrals to participating sites. A total of 163 patients (37% FEP and 31% ARMS) and 15 close relatives had participated in individual longitudinal assessments, and 26 patients participated in qualitative interviews., Conclusion: This national collaborative project addresses the issue of early intervention for emerging psychoses, and creates spaces for fruitful reflections and collaboration in Switzerland. The ultimate aim of PsyYoung is to harmonize clinical practices in early intervention of psychosis on a national level.

- Abstract
Maternal representations play a key role in intrapsychic conflicts relating to accession to parenthood and in the formation of the mother-baby bond. Around the birth of the child, the shadows of past objects are cast on the baby and the parent's self-image. Mother-baby psychoanalytic psychotherapy helps us to understand internal conflicts that tend to interfere with the mother's representations of her child or of herself as a mother, as well as aiming to reduce the risk of difficulties for the child. Through a clinical case, this article explores the development of maternal representations in a course of parenthood-centred psychotherapy that begins during pregnancy and ends 11 months after the baby's birth. The psychic change carried out by the mother frees the mother-baby bond from the projections of the past. Excerpts from clinical sessions illustrate mother-baby interactions during the session, the projection of the mother's internal objects on to the baby, and the elaboration and reintrojection of the mother's internal conflicts. Changes in the mother's representations were measured both qualitatively and quantitatively using the 'R' interview, which allows various dimensions of these representations to be measured on a Likert scale.

- Abstract
Aim: To determine the prevalence of anxiety-depressive symptomatology and associated risk factors in a population of pregnant women in the low-income neighborhood of Roquetes (Barcelona, Spain)., Design: Quasi-experimental, cross-sectional study., Location: The study was carried out at the Primary Care Center, Roquetes Canteres, Barcelona., Participants: Between 2015 and 2017, all pregnant women who visited the Sexual and Reproductive Care Team in Primary Care (ASSIR) or their Family Physician (FP) were invited to take part in a study if they met the following criteria: (a) over 18 years old (b) able to understand in any of the 4 study languages. Of a total of 239 gestating women, 19 declined to participate, 14 moved away from the area and 16 underwent voluntary termination of pregnancy, leaving a sample of 190 subjects., Material and Methods: The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to detect depressive symptomatology, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to assess anxiety, and a sociodemographic data questionnaire was administered. Once all descriptive demographic data from the whole sample was analyzed, baseline clinical and demographic characteristics were compared using the independent t-test for continuous variables and the chi-squared analysis for categorical variables., Results: The t-test showed that 48% of pregnant women presented an at-risk degree of anxiety-depressive symptomatology, double that found in the general population. Applying a chi-squared test to the at-risk and non-risk groups revealed associated prenatal risk factors including: having a history of violence; living in a rented room, mistreatment in infancy and mental health issues. The ROC curves analysis obtained a cutoff point score of 4 Accumulated Associated Factors (AAF) (AUC 0.765, p < .001, 57% sensitivity and 79% specificity)., Conclusions: Our study shows that rates of anxiety-depressive symptomatology in a population with considerable socio-economic deprivation can more than double. AAF in the population at risk of anxiety and depression were detected, highlighting the need to allocate resources to identification and prevention during pregnancy. This requires the involvement of a multidisciplinary, professional team with a biopsychosocial perspective.

- Abstract
Emotional disorders are common during the perinatal period and can have negative consequences on the woman's physical and mental health, as well as on the mother-child relationship. Screening for these difficulties is complicated because of a lack of knowledge and a lack of simple and validated tools that can be used on a large scale. A Geneva multidisciplinary team has developed a prenatal interview model, provided by specifically trained midwives. It aims to sensitize pregnant women, offer them a personalized space of listening, detect psychological weakness, develop resources and orient patients in need to specific care centers. This paper describes this interview and its main implications for clinical practice.

- Abstract
Objectives: Depression and anxiety are major causes of distress amongst parents during the perinatal period. Their pervasive effects on the parents' self-confidence, on the parent-infant relationship and on the child's development have been well documented. The aims of the present study were to describe the psychological characteristics of mothers consulting during the perinatal period and to assess the effect of brief Psychotherapy Centred on Parenthood (PCP) on the mothers' depressive and anxiety symptoms. The evolution of the mother-infant relationship is also documented. PCP is a brief mother-infant psychotherapy which focuses on the mother-infant relationship as well as the mother's mental representations in order to reduce her psychological conflicts., Method: Thirty-four mothers consulting an infant-parent outpatient clinic were assessed with respect to depression, anxiety, global functioning, severity of symptoms and the quality of their adaptation to the infant (T1). They were offered a brief PCP with an average of seven sessions. Outcome measures were collected after the end of the therapy (T2)., Results: Overall, 28 of 34 mothers completed the therapy (83%), and 23 participated in the post-therapy evaluation. Paired samples t-tests showed that completers of PCP displayed significant improvement in post-treatment measures of depression (EPDS: t = 5.13; p <0.001), anxiety (STAI-State: t = 3.06; p = 0.006), clinical impression (CGI: n = 21; t = 4.50; p <0.001), and global functioning (GAF: t = -5.05; p <0.001). The quality of adaptation in the infant-parent relationship showed a tendency to improve (PIRGAS: t = -1.98; p = 0.062)., Conclusions: These preliminary results suggested that providing PCP to this sample of consulting mothers is feasible and accompanied by high rate of clinical and functional improvement.

- Abstract
This pilot study explores the effects of a brief individual psychoanalytic therapy on perinatal depressive symptoms. This intervention is based on the Geneva's mother-infant intervention model. A sample of 129 pregnant women was recruited in Geneva (Switzerland) and screened for depressive symptoms with two instruments: the 'Edinburgh postnatal depression scale' (EPDS) and the 'Dépistage anténatal de la dépression postnatale'. A group of 40 women presenting depressive symptoms (treatment group) participated in a four-session intervention called 'Psychotherapy centred on parenthood (PCP)'. It consists in two antenatal and two postnatal sessions and is focussed on changing problematic representations of parenthood. This treatment group was compared to a control group of 88 women without depressive symptoms and following the usual obstetrical care. The main outcome measure was EPDS at 3 and 6 months after delivery. The 'Global assessment functioning scale' was administered at the end of each therapeutic session. The 'Parent-infant relationship global assessment scale' was administered at the two postnatal sessions in order to explore if PCP was also effective in preventing the potential negative effects of depression on mother-infant relationship. Results show that in the treatment group (N = 31), EPDS scores dropped from 12.8 to 4.8; none of these women met the EPDS cut-off score of 12 at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Mother-infant relationship was well adapted for all 31 dyads at the end of the intervention. These results suggest that PCP is a promising intervention for treating perinatal depression and helping mothers engaging in parenting.

- Abstract
The detection of postpartum depression (PPD) is an important public health issue because of its negative consequences on both the mother's and the infant's health. Up to now, one of the major difficulties is to find a simple and valid instrument able to detect women at risk to develop PPD already during pregnancy. The present article describes a short, simple questionnaire that was developed in Geneva, the Questionnaire de Dépistage Anténatal du risque de Dépression du Postpartum (DAD-P), previously named le Questionnaire de Genève. The authors propose a preventive strategy and follow-up that can be used by any health professional working with pregnant women.

- Abstract
Until today postpartum depression (PPD) remains too often banalised or misknown by the population who is frequently badly informed. Actually it is an important public health problem because it concerns more than one new mother out of ten without this pathology being diagnosed nor treated. The consequences of this depression can be serious both for the mother and for the child with latter developmental difficulties. Since several years, a Genevian team of child psychiatrists has been working on this problem and developed a screening questionnaire to identify women at risk to develop PPD. A preventive method of dynamic psychotherapy is presently being developed and implemented to the at-risk women with the collaboration of the Genevian gynaecologists.

- Abstract
The main innovation of the year 2004 was the introduction of a new, second-generation antipsychotic drug with a new mechanism of action (partial dopamine agonist), encouraging first clinical results, and an advantageous clinical tolerance profile. Additionally, three new galenic forms are presented: an oral, extended-release form of methylphenidate that could be useful in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders; an intramuscular depot form of a second-generation antipsychotic drug (risperidone) with the advantage of improving adherence; and an intramuscular form of a second generation antipsychotic (olanzapine) that is valuable in emergency situations. Finally, we will briefly give an update on the advantages of lamotrigine in bipolar depression.
