This paper discusses the relevance of González Rey's Theory of Subjectivity and Qualitative Epistemology for advancing a cultural-historical psychology that articulates research and professional practices in mental health care. This paper presents the outcomes of an empirical research that was carried out with the professional staff of a Brazilian community mental health service based on the con - structive-interpretative methodology. The objective of the research was to develop a theoretical model that supports educational practices aimed at the subjective development of the professional team of a community mental health service in Brasília (Brazil). The outcomes emphasize the relevance of dialogue as a key epistemological and methodological device for individuals to emerge as active agents. From this perspective, research is inseparable from professional practice. In the process, alternative paths are created, which are oriented to subjective development of individuals, social groups and institutions in its broadest sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Suicide is an issue with a great impact on public health. For this reason, the Catalonia Suicide Risk Code (CSRC) protocol was developed in 2015. The aim of this paper is to examine the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients for whom this protocol was activated between 2016 and 2017 in our reference population. Methodology. Retrospective descriptive study of recorded data on Suicide Risk Code of our population attended (n=246 in 2016 and n=391 in 2017) in the mental health outpatient services of the Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu being attended previously in the emergency services of any of the hospitals of reference. Results. The most prevalent profile in both 2016 and 2017 was woman between 40 and 55 years of age with stressful life events. The most prevalent method used was substance abuse. Conclusions. The data suggest that the health care task should be adjusted to the highest risk profile observed in our reference population, considering stressful live events as significant risk factors which should be taken into account.

Objectives. Community psychiatry has mainly relied upon intermediate long term care services while there is a large gap between patient's needs and availability of acute care services. Taking this into consideration, the main aim of this paper is to review the evidence supporting the efficacy and feasibility of implementing the new models of care developed to fulfil the gap in the provision of community and hospital care for acute and severely ill patients. Finally the paper will propose a "care balanced approach" to integrate the key elements of the new alternatives of acute community and hospital care in the mental health system. Material and Method. A review of the current literature was used to identify the key components of acute care for psychiatric illness. For this purpose Medline (1966-2010), EMBASE (1980-2010), and PsycINFO (1985-2010) databases were reviewed using key terms relating to assertive outreach, home treatment/crisis resolution, psychiatric acute day care, deinstitutionalization, Mental Health Service Models. Results. Three main types of acute care have been identified: Acute Continuous Day Care (ACDC) -day hospitals -, Assertive Outreach Care (AOC) -Assertive Community and Assertive Outreach teams-, and Home Acute Care (HAC) -Crisis resolution, Home treatment teams-. The feasibility of these alternatives is supported by available evidence. Although these acute care alternatives may be complementary and could be combined for achieving a greater positive impact on the clinical and social recovery of the patients, there are usually implemented independently. Conclusions. An integrative acute care subsystem combining these three strategies in a balanced care system should be formally incorporated to the advanced community model in mental health care.

This paper is aimed at studying the psychological demand in the primary health care centers of La Plata city hall and their relationship with the therapeutic strategies. Some questions about the introducing way of the symptom in this contemporary time have emerged and led us to review the discussion on the so-called "new symptoms" within the psychoanalytic field. Thus, a problem arises from an empirical finding: a notorious increase of the psychological demand in the public sphere both in the municipality health centers and the psychopathology and mental health offices of the hospitals. From the bibliographical exegesis and the case-histories analysis some issues on the care provision are pointed out as they involve unselected and diverse consultations. In this sense, some of the answers the psychoanalysis has offered to its social practice will be studied and thereby make us wonder on the necessary twists to set a device that regards the institution policies but keeping the ethics and theoretical-clinical grounds of the psychoanalysis itself. We can only situate the singularity that the psychoanalytic practice demands if we inquire on and displace the generalizations. A practice that should regard the history-case as unique.

Despite the effectiveness of exposure therapy for treating anxiety disorders, a number of patients fail to benefit or experience a return of fear after treatment. Research suggests that anxious individuals show deficits in the mechanisms believed to underlie exposure therapy, such as inhibitory learning. Targeting these processes may help improve the efficacy of exposure- based procedures. The primary aim of this paper is to provide examples to clinicians for how to apply this model to optimize exposure therapy with anxious clients, in ways that distinguish it from a "fear habituation" approach and "belief disconfirmation" approach within standard cognitive-behavior therapy. Exposure optimization strategies include 1) expectancy violation, 2) deepened extinction, 3) occasional reinforced extinction, 4) removal of safety signals, 5) variability, 6) retrieval cues, 7) multiple contexts, and 8) affect labeling. Case studies illustrate methods of applying these techniques with a variety of anxiety disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emotional disorders (ED), including anxiety, mood and adaptive disorders, and somatization share common pathways with psychosocial factors, such as stress, high levels of anxiety or negative emotionality, and are very common in primary care (PC). The frequency of PC visits made by these patients and the low efficacy of non-established evidence based usual treatments have promoted the implementation of psychological intervention programmes of a cognitive-behavioural type to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency rates, following the recommendations of high-quality clinical guidelines. This paper proposes an integrative approach for ED and somatization based on emotional regulation problems (elevated cognitive biases and unadaptive emotional learning) that defends the possibility of reversing the cognitive-emotional processes involved in the onset of these disorders, using cognitive-behavioural techniques, especially cognitive restructuring and exposure. In addition, we analyse and discuss the theoretical foundations of these techniques (which can act as the psychological support of collaborative programmes), according to the principles of proper emotion regulation (cognitive bias reduction and adaptive emotional learning). Finally, the dissemination of these effective psychological treatments is recommended, with a transdiagnostic focus and Internet based homework, through the implementation of collaborative stepped programmes in PC.

Introduction Depression and its symptoms are becoming one of the most important health problems worldwide. The impact of depression on the productive life of people, and the burden it represents because of its co-morbidity, is growing. Some authors estimate that depression is the second cause for the global loss of years of healthy life and the first one in developed countries. An increasing proportion of teenage population has mental health issues. Depression and its symptoms are among the most common, but they are not an epidemic problem yet, although spread enough as to maintain interest in its current impact and in its negative consequences over individual health. Depression has a prominent place among mood disorders in Mexico (4.5%), and women are who mostly suffer it (5.8%), which has remained consistent over time. Different difficult situations occur during adolescence along with depression, depressive mood, and depressive symptoms. This situation may be related to changes and processes that occur during this period when individuals cope with situations they cannot handle, which in turn become stressful. Therefore, it is necessary to study and to work with adolescents in order to be able to differentiate affective, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral expressions, which are proper to this stage, from those possibly caused by an illness that could have negative consequences. Adolescent depression influences mood and the way individuals live unpleasant or annoying experiences, thus it affects almost every aspect of life and becomes a risk factor for psychiatric and behavioral problems. However, there are some areas that need more research, for example: the specific characteristics and expressions of the problem including gender comparisons and using designs with special groups. Data show that depression is growing in adolescents; therefore it is a priority to work on detection and prevention to reduce its impact on mental health and to develop cost-effective intervention strategies. One way to do this is using valid-reliable screening tools because they are cheap, and methodologically-logistically useful. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD) has been used in different studies with Mexican adolescents, and has proven to have good psychometric characteristics. The CES-D has never been used with an entire population in a great scale study. The objective of this paper is to measure the validity and reliability of the scale (construct, concurrent, and external validity, as well as internal consistency) in a population of high school and college freshman students from Mexico City. Method Design. The study was a census made with high school and college freshman students during 2009. Data were collected in 22 schools. Population. A sample of 58568 students participated in the census. The mean age was 17 years old (±2.7). Most of the students lived in homes with one to four other persons at the moment of the study (55.4%); 86% said that only their father worked at that moment, and 59.4 said that only the mother; 79.7% of the students lived with both parents, and 17.9% only with their mother; 57403 students (98.0% of the population) completed the CES-D in the age range of 14-24 years: 27264 (47.5%) men, and 30139 (52.5%) women. Instrument. The Automated Medical Examination (Examen Médico Automatizado-EMA) is a diagnostic questionnaire designed by the General Directorate of Medical Services (Dirección General de Servicios Médicos) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). It is a questionnaire with four self-report forms that collect information about the physical and mental health, the family, and the general context of every student. This information is used to create a diagnosis of vulnerability and a predictive profile for developing prevention programs, as well as research protocols that help in promoting a culture for health care. The CES-D was included for the measurement in 2009. Results Overall internal consistency was adequate (α=.83). Internal consistency was tested by sex; the coefficient was higher for women (α=.84). Factor analysis generated a four-factor solution (explained variance 54.1%); each factor had good internal consistency and theoretical agreement. The scale showed a significant discriminative power for opposite scores (z=-144.121, p<.001), and a positive significant correlation with the Okasha Suicidality Scale (rΦ=.325, p=.000). A cut-off point of 16 or higher was established to identify students with high depressive symptomatology. 14.7% of the participants in this study had high depressive symptomatology (11.1% men, 17.9% women). Conclusions The CES-D is a valid and reliable epidemiological instrument for different populations. Since depression is a complex and dynamic phenomenon, it is important to evaluate the psychometric properties of any instrument used to measure it. The results of this study showed that the CES-D maintains its internal consistency as well as good concurrent-external validity. Coefficients are higher for women and they increase with age; thus, it would be necessary to refine some aspects to measure younger subjects in a more consistent manner. The data proved that CES-D is a useful instrument for distinguishing different levels of depressive symptomatology; this is relevant because the scale is often used in collective contexts, allowing systematic monitoring of depression with good cost-effective results. Monitoring is also important to keep acceptable levels of emotional wellbeing in student population. Development and refinement of instruments such as the CES-D would potentially lead to opportune and reliable detection of adolescents who may be at risk for suffering mental health problems. This would facilitate implementing more stable and continuous prevention and attention programs to reduce the negative impact of depression in the short term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Response prevention exposure (RPE) has been considered the treatment of choice for obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD). Its efficacy has been called into question given the clinical and empirical data showing that a great number of patients do not benefit from such treatment (Salkovskis, 1989; Salkovskis & Westbrook, 1989). In the present paper, given the most recent cognitive approaches, we have chosen an integrative model that highlights emotional and cognitive variables. Practical applications can be derived from Eysenck's Four Factor Theory (1997) in regards to cognitive treatment for OCD; special importance is given to the role played by attentional and interpretive biases for intrusive thoughts. Eliminating these biases constitutes a number one priority. Based on these theoretical models, a case study is presented, the application of a cognitive-behavioural treatment (CBT) is described; the cognitive techniques used and the results obtained are discussed.

This manuscript presents a critical synthesis of empirical research evidence and theoretical developments that give support to the importance of the body and body image regarding the construction of identity and its psychotherapeutic reconstruction. The paper is based on a relational constructivist conceptual framework, and it follows a structure focused on the dialectics between the (social and personal) construction of the self, and the construction of the (also social and personal) ideal.

The integrative approach to psychotherapy has been growing worldwide during the last few decades. However, there is very little information about this group of psychotherapists in Argentina. This paper is aimed at finding out more about psychotherapists who use an integrationist framework. Out of a total sample made up of 525 psychotherapists from different major cities of Argentina, 39.8% reported integrating theories in their clinical practice. This result places the integrationist group second as the most important psychotherapeutic trend in this country, behind psychoanalytic psychotherapists (53.1%). In order to get a better knowledge of this group of psychotherapists we focused our attention on the theories being integrated, the main reasons for integrating those theories, certain aspects of their professional education, and their psychotherapeutic goals.

The high prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in primary care, the growing perception of the need for specialized help by the least severe patients and the lack of accuracy in referrals, contribute to the increasing overload in mental health services. So it seems necessary to design diagnostic tools in order to improve the detection of more severe patients and to help in the referral decision. With this purpose in mind, we have designed the multidimensional hetero-administrated Scale Referral Criteria for Mental Health (CRMH). This paper presents the preliminary results of a pilot study on its application in a sample of 198 patients by a group of Primary Care Physicians (PCP). The data show the detection of a high percentage of potential psychiatric patients (46.9%) and 4% of patients who having the possibility of being referred. The results also illustrate the low ability of PCP to detect these disorders. CRMH has a moderate correlation with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and with detection of psychopathology by PCP. Other factors, apart from clinical severity evaluated through CRMH, possibly belonging to doctor-patient relationship, which should be analyzed, seem to influence the mental health referral. In a future article, we will present the validation of this scale in our care setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy is based on the principles of radical behaviourism. It emphasises the impact of events occurring during therapeutic sessions, the therapist-client interaction context, functional equivalence of environments, natural reinforcement, and shaping by the therapist. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy makes use of both the basic principles of behaviour analysis: individual functional assessment and application of in vivo treatment. This paper analyses novelties and new contributions of this therapy. New contributions are classified in various categories: integration with other psychotherapies, improvement of therapeutic skills, methods for evaluation and data recording in therapy, its application to several clinical problems, and studies of its efficacy.

The purpose of the present paper is to contemplate professionals when performing their work assisting people with psychological suffering, in a stage setting that includes the risk identified as burnout. With a view to continuing care, burnout of professionals and teams working in mental health services generates costs which are reflected in the quality of attention to patients, in team interaction, in the relationship of the team with others teams in their field and in the relationship between the team and the organisation it belongs to. Therefore, an adequate handling and facing of this risk requires protective measures for the individual, the team and the organisation. This is especially so for teams in disaster or rescue services that would benefit from an adequate care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
