Domestic violence (DV) against women still lacks rigor in its iden-

tification and denouncement, which makes it an under diagnosed

condition.

Physical and psychic well-being of women who are victims of

DV is threatened hence it is essential to discuss this subject as a

health matter. Furthermore, health professionals are usually DV

victims’ first contact. In 2009, Margaret Chan from WHO stated

that “Preventing violence against women requires a multi-sectoral

approach, and in this context the health sector has a central role

to play which includes helping to identify abuse early, provid-

ing victims with the necessary treatment, and referring women to

appropriate and informed care.”

Portuguese Health Ministry has created, through the legal dis-

patch No. 6378/2013 of may 16, an integrated intervention model

on interpersonal violence throughout life, entitled Ac¸ ão de Saúde

sobreGénero, Violência e Ciclo de Vida (ASGVCV), made operational

by Equipas para a Prevenc¸ ão da Violência emAdultos (EPVA) teams.

Objective

We report the case of a 41-year-old woman brought by

her husband for behavioral disorder during the last week. As back-

ground, she had her first vaginal delivery after a risky pregnancy

a fortnight ago, which required uterine arteries embolization for

intense uterine bleeding; and an adjustment disorder eight years

ago.

Results

The patient presents a wordy and inadequate speech, as

well as insomnia for the last seven nights. She has injuries in both of

her hands due to intensive cleaning of her home and genitalia. Her

condition is fluctuant, remaining for hours in the bathroom after

breastfeeding and behaving strangely at night, with an irritable

mood and being unable to care for their child.

She also has a fever of 39

C, with thrombocytosis (850,000

platelets) and a c-reactive protein up to 20 as relevant alterations,

attributed to mastitis and consequences of the recent intervention.

Olanzapine at a dose of 10mg per day was introduced after stop-

ping breastfeeding, with very good tolerance and complete clinical

remission within a few days, with the diagnosis of postpartum psy-

chosis and suspected affective disorder of the bipolar spectrum.

Conclusions

Puerperal psychosis is misdiagnosed in at least 50%

of cases, with a prevalence of 1–2/1000 births, and appears more

frequently between the 3rd and 9th day after delivery. The risk for

bothmother and child is severe and it must be treated immediately,

being its evolution in general favorable. Most of the risk factors and

clinical manifestations for this condition are described in this case.

Portugal

Introduction

There are not many studies about affirmative com-

petence and practices among mental health professionals working

with lesbian, gay, and/or bisexual (LGB) clients.

Objectives

The objectives of this research are to assess the levels

of affirmative competence and practices of professionals in Ibero-

American countries.

Aim

We aim to compare differences regarding gender, country

of origin, religious beliefs, political orientation, sexual orienta-

tion, age, education, marital status, and possessing specific training

related to working with LGB clients, in order to determine the pre-

dictive association of the variables under study.

Methods

The sample consists of 630 therapists from various

countries various Ibero-American countries: 23% from Portugal,

23.2% from Brazil, 19.1% from Spain, 6.7% from Mexico, 6.7%

from Argentina and 18.6% from other countries. Ages ranged

from 19 to 75 years old, with a mean age of 41.46 years. The

socio-demographic questionnaire, the Sexual Orientation Coun-

selor Competency Scale, and the Affirmative Practice Questionnaire

were the measures used.

Results

The results show statistically significant differences

when comparing marital status, sexual orientation, political ori-

entation, religious beliefs, level of education, and specific training

concerning LGB issues. Age, gender, and country of residence show

no statistically significant differences. The linear regression model

demonstrates that there is a significant predictive value between

affirmative competence and practices with LGB clients.

Conclusions

This study indicates that mental health profession-

als should undergo some type of academic or professional training

and/or possess experience in regards to working with LGB clients,

in order to enhance their approach when working with this popu-

lation.

Introduction

The complex phenomenon of violence against

women is determined by gender relations that, from a historical

and social construction of female and male, and the biological dif-

ferences which gives unequal power between men and women.

This results in increased vulnerability of women, exposing them

to physical, psychological and sexual violence. The history of vio-
