strategies that are underlying etiological factor of eating disorders.
Sixteen patients underwent a psychological diagnostic focused
on work with emotions. In the experimental part, patients were
exposed to their own image through the mirror, during which
were supposed to regulate their emotions, according to specific
instructions. While patients were looking into the mirror, we mon-
itored psychophysiological activity. Latest results based on the data
processing of averages excitation of skin conductance describe the
course of the experiment as we expected. Calming phases alter-
nated with mirror exposure were clearly noticeable and consistent
during changes in skin conductance and varies almost significantly
[F(3,6) = 2.5, P = 0.068, 2 = 0.22], which supports the suitability of
the selected elicitingmaterial. The difference betweenmirror expo-
sures with instructions on how to regulate emotions and without
them is not statistically significant, but the continuance of the skin
conductance describes the phases of the experiment consistently.
The most striking response was detected at the first exposure to
the mirror, which may suggest a lack of internal resources to reg-
ulate such an important stimulus as their own body. The results
indicate that exposure to mirror is a negative emotional stimulus,
with whom the patient can hardly cope.

Introduction Epidemiological studies indicate a high prevalence
of self-injurious behavior in adolescents in the general population.
So far, there are only very few studies on the course of self-injurious
behavior in adolescents and young adults.
Objectives The aim of the present population-based study was
the analysis of prospective predictors of onset, maintenance and
cessation self-injurious behavior in adolescents.
Methods A representative sample of the normal population
of adolescents from Germany (initial sample: n = 1444; mean
age = 14.7, SD = 0.80, 52% female adolescents) was studied over a
two years period on 4 consecutive points of measurement in the
context of the European school-based intervention study SEYLE.
Results There was a high remission rate (70.4%) of self-injurious
behaviors at 24-month follow-up investigation. However, there
was a substantial rate (29.6%) of adolescents who continued the
self-injurious behavior, as well as a group of “new starters”. Self-
injurious behavior during the baseline examination proved to be
the strongest predictor of self-injurious behavior 2 years later.
The extent of depressive symptoms and quality of peer relation-
ships were significantly associated with maintaining self-injurious
behavior two years later. Furthermore continued self-injurious
behavior over the first 12-monthwas highly associatedwith suicide
plans/suicide attempts at 24-month follow-up investigation.
Conclusions While both, onset and maintenance of SIB are
prospectively associated with an increased risk for suicidal
behaviour in late adolescence, SIB cessation significantly reduces
the risk for later suicidal behaviour.

Introduction Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) in child-
hood still remains unexplored from the perspective of clinical
psychology.
Objectives and aims The research was aimed at defining types of
psychological development in the group of children with OMS. The
study included 18 children between ages 2 years 4 months and 9
years with OMS (8 boys, 10 girls).
Methods The following methods were used: analysis of patient’s
development and medical record, psychological interview with
parents, neurological state assessment and pathopsychological
assessment.
Results Patients were divided into three groups according to cog-
nitive development level:
– group with normal intelligence level ( n = 4);
– group with developmental delay (n = 11);
– group with intellectual disability in different forms (n = 3).
Several children in group 1 (n = 3) and in group 2 ( n = 4) expressed
neurotic behavior with increased levels of anxiety and fear of try-
ing unusual actions during psychological assessment. Childrenwith
delay in psychoverbal development (n = 7) andwith developmental
delay (n = 1) expressed psychopathy-like states with verbal aggres-
sion and had difficulties controlling their emotions. In some cases
(n = 2), the psychological state of the patient was defined as bor-
derline state with emotional instability, especially in mother–child
interaction.
Conclusion Psychological features of children with OMS indicate
heterogeneity of their development types that implies different
prognosis and developmental dynamics for each type. The results
point out the necessity of detailed psychological examination
aimed at correlation of psychological help to children with OMS
and their families with their psychological state.
