Introduction

Smoking causes many life-threatening diseases and

is a major risk factor for several main causes of death. Damage by

smoking is also caused to those called “passive smokers”. Passive

smoking has been implicated in many adverse effects on health.

Very few studies deal with empathy in smokers while smoking in

the presence of non-smokers.

Purpose

Estimation of empathy and psychological characteristics

of Greek smokers.

Methodology

For research purposes we used questionnaires

Toronto empathy questionnaire (TEQ), symptom check list 90-R,

experience of shame scale (EES) and other as Shamer scale – OAS.

Results

A statistically significant difference has been observed in

the TEQ to gender (2.436, 0.02), with women showing the high-

est value (3.4

±

0.4), as well as in the mean in behavioral shame

2. Another statistically significant difference has been observed in

behavioral shame between educational level (3.419, 0.026) and the

price of characterological shame among those who reported smok-

ing in the workplace and those who did not.

Conclusions

The sample consisted of 27 subjects with average

age 24 years and standard deviation of 4 years. Smokers accounted

for 48.1%, of whom 69.2% stated that smoke in their living space.

Respectively, the percentage of smokers in the workplace was

equivalent. The largest percentage of smokers, (13 people, 69.2%)

think that non-smokers are very annoyed when surrounded by

people smoking close to them. The proportion of those who said

they are very much bothered when in places where smoking is

prohibited but somebody smokes, is large (47.1%).

Introduction

Cotard syndrome (CS) is a rare neuropsychiatric

condition characterized by nihilistic delusions, which may range

from negation of existence of parts of the body to delusion of being

dead or negation of self-existence, and it requires an urgent and

appropriate therapy.

Objectives

Our objective is to highlight the importance of CS,

reinforcing that medical professionals should be aware of this

pathology to prompt clinical description, diagnostic and treatment.

Aims

The aim of this presentation is to alert psychiatrists to this

remaining syndrome.

Methods

Review of phenomenological and theoretical issues

regarding SC.

Results

CS can be found in numerous psychiatric or neurologic

pathologies but it is most seen in patients with severe depres-

sion. It is typically divided in three subtypes: psychotic depression,

Cotard type I, with nihilistic delusions without mood symptoms,

and Cotard type II, with mood symptoms and auditory halluci-

nations. There are numerous etiological hypothesis mechanisms,

including unusual perceptual experiences, which can similarly

be involved in Capgras delusion, disconnection from emotional

or limbic processes, an impaired belief evaluation or a tendency

to excessive self-attribution. Frontotemporoparietal circuitry also

seems to have an important role in its pathology. Treatment

usually involves electroconvulsive therapy, antidepressants and

anti-psychotics and the prognosis depends on the underlying dis-

orders.

Conclusions

CS is a rare pathology with self-defeating risk and its

clinical recognition and proper treatment are essential to improve

the prognosis of these patients. Diagnostic criteria or clinical instru-

ments for assessment of this syndrome should be encouraged, since

its lack is a limitation for systematic studies and consequent man-

agement advances.

Introduction

Hoarding disorders (HD) have increasingly become

a public health hazard. It usually emerges during two broad life

periods: in early age-of-onset is usually associated with obsessive-

compulsive disorder (OCD); in the elderly, it can be due to

psychiatric and organic disorders, unrelated to OCD.

Objectives

Our objective is to increase medical awareness and to

highlight that both young and elderly people may suffer from this

condition.

Aims

The aim of this presentation is to address HD and its differ-

ent presentations.

Methods

Presentation of two clinical cases of HD and pathology

revision.

Results

A 30-year-old woman was hoarding litter, food and sev-

eral items in a systematic way, become aggressive when her family

tried to clean the house and was admitted several times in a psy-

chiatric facility for cleanliness of her house. She had a history of

depressive symptoms and severe OCD, with obsessive thoughts

and several verification behaviors. A 78-year-old woman, with his-

tory of cerebral vascular disease, was self-neglected, living in a

filthy home, with hoarding of litter and many worthless objects

in a disorganized way, become aggressive after her relatives try to

enter her house and refused to get help of any kind. Later on, she

was admitted in a psychiatric facility and diagnosed with vascular

dementia.

Conclusions

Timely diagnosis and proper management of these

two variations of HD will allow more advanced studies in this

matter and more effective pharmacological and psychotherapeutic

treatments. These clinical cases reinforce the importance of prac-

tical guidelines for appropriate approach of these patients with

complex and multidimensional needs.

Fathers’ personality dispositions and

conduct-disordered children’s

perception of their fathers

Marwari Relief Society Hospital, Psychiatry and Psychology, Kolkata,

India

Introduction

Individual’s personality profile is one of the major

determinants of one’s behavior. Thus, poor personality disposition

of fathers and the child’s perception of father have been reported

to be powerful predictors of subsequent delinquency and criminal

offences. The externalizers resemble the dimensions of conduct dis-

order as prescribed in diagnostic statistical manual IV. The essential

feature is their repetitive behavioral patternwherein the basic right

of others or major age appropriate societal norms are violated.

Objective

This study finds out the relationship between the

fathers’ personality-disposition, havingmale childrenwith conduct
