Abstract:
Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR), developed by a team of Italian and American researchers at the end of the 20th century, was elaborated and then revised based on observations and studies conducted by clinicians. In this paper, we present their current version known as DCPR-R. This classification system departs from the functional/organic dichotomy of disorders. The new criteria allow for the assessment of the role of multiple emotional/behavioural dimensions and responses in the functioning of an affected person. The revised version has four diagnostic modules, i.e., stress, illness behaviour, psychological manifestation, and personality. The authors introduced an additional factor to describe life experiences that contribute to stress (allostatic overload). Illness behaviours include health anxiety, disease phobia, hypochondriasis, thanatophobia, illness denial, persistent somatisation, conversion, and anniversary reaction. Irritable mood, somatic symptoms secondary to a psychiatric disorder and demoralisation are psychological manifestations. Type A behaviour pattern and alexithymia are considered personalityrelated factors. The authors of DCPR-R proposed a certain number of criteria to be met in order to diagnose each of these syndromes. The system makes it possible to clearly determine the presence of a given syndrome, but it does not allow to assess its severity. Psychosomatic syndromes play an important role in the development and/or course of somatic diseases. Inclusion of these syndromes in clinical diagnosis has made it possible to expand the spectrum of information about patient’s functioning, and, once they are diagnosed, offer appropriate psychological assistance, which will translate into an improvement in the quality of life.

AbstractObjective.The Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) are those of psychosomatic syndromes that did not find room in the classical taxonomy. More recently, the DCPR were updated, called DCPR-revised (DCPR-R). The present study was conducted to test the criterion-related validity of the DCPR-R.Methods.Two hundred consecutive subjects were enrolled at the Headache Center of Careggi University Hospital (Italy): 100 subjects had a diagnosis of chronic migraine (CM) and 100 had a diagnosis of episodic migraine (EM). Participants received a clinical assessment, which included the DCPR-revised Semi-Structured Interview (DCPR-R SSI), the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5), and the psychosocial index (PSI).Results.Forty-seven subjects (23.5%) had at least one DSM-5 diagnosis: major depressive disorder (8.5%; n = 17) and agoraphobia (7.5%; n = 15) were the most frequent. One hundred and ten subjects (55%) reported a DCPR-R diagnosis: allostatic overload (29%; n = 58) and type A behavior (10.5%; n = 21) were the most frequent. When the incremental validity of the DCPR system over the DSM system was tested using PSI subscales as the criterion variable, the DCPR-R increased up to 0.11–0.24 the amount of explained variance. Subjects with at least one DCPR-R diagnosis showed lower PSI well-being scores (p = .001), higher PSI stress scores (p < .001), and higher PSI psychological distress scores (p = .008) than subjects without a DCPR-R diagnosis.Conclusion. The DCPR-R showed a good criterion-related validity in migraine outpatients. Thus, they might be implemented, together with the DSM-5, in the assessment of migraine subjects.

Abstract:
IntroductionHyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition characterised by dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, lack of nutrition and at least 5% loss in body weight, occurring in the first half of pregnancy. The aim of this trial is to examine the efficacy of group biofeedback treatment on patients with HG with psychosomatic symptoms, which will be evaluated through the revised version of Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR-R).Methods and analysisIn this single-blinded randomised controlled clinical trial, 68 patients with HG diagnosed with at least one psychosomatic syndrome according to DCPR-R and aged 18–40 years, will be recruited in a Chinese Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The sample will be randomised (1:1) into two arms: experimental group, which will undergo group biofeedback treatment, psycho-education and treatment as usual (TAU); and control group, which will undergo psycho-education and TAU only. The primary outcomes will be reduction of the frequency of psychosomatic syndromes, severity of nausea/vomiting, quality of life and heart rate variability. The secondary outcomes will include days of hospitalisation, repeated hospitalisation and laboratory investigations.Ethics and disseminationThis study has received ethical approval from the Nanjing Medical University (No. 2019/491, granted 22 February 2019). All participants will be required to provide written informed consent. Study outcomes will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and academic conferences, and used to confirm a tailored biofeedback intervention for patients with HG with psychosomatic symptoms.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000028754).

Abstract:
Background: The present study was aimed at evaluating psychosomatic, psychosocial, and psychological variables as potential risk and protective factors for migraine. Moreover, it aims to investigate psychosomatic, psychosocial, and psychiatric variables patients as potential risk and protective factors for mental pain in migraine subjects. Methods: A cohort study design was applied. Two-hundred subjects were enrolled at the Headache Center of the Careggi University Hospital (Florence, Italy): 100 subjects had a diagnosis of chronic migraine (CM) and 100 had a diagnosis of episodic migraine (EM). One-hundred healthy subjects (HS) were also enrolled form the general population of Central Italy as healthy controls (ratio case: control = 2:1). Participants completed a clinical assessment including: ID Migraine; Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire (MIDAS); Brief Pain Inventory (BPI); the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5); Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research-Revised Semi-Structured Interview (DCPR-R-SSI); Clinical Interview for Depression (CID); Psychosocial Index (PSI); Mental Pain Questionnaire (MPQ); Euthymia Scale (ES). Results: Among the variables taken into account higher levels of CID anxiety (OR = 1.39; 95% CI = 1.07–1.72; p = 0.012) and PSI psychological distress (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.06–1.45; p = 0.007) were found as risk factors for EM as compared to HS, whereas PSI quality of life (OR = 0.50; 95% CI = 0.29–0.88; p = 0.016) was found as protective factor for EM as compared to HS. Mental pain (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.01–1.50; p = 0.007) and PSI psychological distress (OR = 1.22; 95% CI = 1.07–1.36; p = 0.002) were found as t risk factors for CM as compared to HS, whereas ES well-being (OR = 0.70; 95% CI = 0.55–0.90; p = 0.006) was found as protective factor for CM as compared to HS. Higher mental pain (OR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.08–1.59; p < 0.001) and PSI psychological distress (OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.00–1.16; p = 0.045) were found as risk factors for EM as compared to CM, whereas ES psychological well-being (OR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.55–0.96; p = 0.027) was found as significant protective factor for EM as compared to CM. CID depression (OR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.00–1.13; p = 0.046) and PSI psychological distress (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.01–1.50; p = 0.007) were found risk factors for having mental pain in migraine subjects, whereas ES psychological well-being (OR = 0.69; 95% CI = 0.53–0.95; p = 0.007) and PSI psychosocial well-being (OR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.31–0.70; p = 0.001) were found as protective factors for having mental pain in migraine subjects. Conclusion: The assessment of migraine subjects which aims at being comprehensive according to psychosomatic principles should include the Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research-Revised (DCPR-R), the Mental Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and the Euthymia Scale (ES). Mental pain is a psychosomatic variable deserving attention in chronic migraine patients. ES Well-being is a protective factor for both chronic migraine and mental pain.

Abstract:
Psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia fascinate and challenge mental health providers, who seek to understand these conditions and assist individuals and families who suffer from them. Schizophrenia causes significant disability and increased mortality, and practitioners struggle to identify and manage the condition appropriately. It can be particularly difficult for trainees and students to grasp the basics in a way that can effectively inform clinical care. Hopefully, this book will help. This volume of the Pittsburgh Pocket Psychiatry series provides a comprehensive overview of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders, which will assist psychiatry residents, medical students, and other professional trainees in diagnosing and treating individuals with these conditions. The book draws on the latest scientific research to discuss the neurobiology and pathophysiology of these illnesses; reviews the key clinical and diagnostic features of psychotic illnesses consistent with the revised criteria of DSM-5; discusses the course of these illnesses and their associated psychosocial issues; and provides strategies for treating individuals afflicted with these illnesses. It will help practitioners develop a better understanding of how to manage the challenges of evaluating, diagnosing, and treating individuals with psychotic illnesses. The handy, pocket-size format should make the book convenient and user-friendly, while the text itself is concise and readable, geared towards the young professional. Case examples, sample questions, and resource lists supplement core material and make this volume practical, particularly as a self-study guide. Contributing authors represent psychiatry, social work, and pharmacy; all have experience teaching and mentoring trainees and other health professionals.

Abstract:
The fully revised and updated Handbook of Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Mental Health Assessment remains the first clinically-informative, research-based reference for those seeking to understand and assess mental health in infants and young children. It describes the latest empirical research on measures and methods of infant and young child assessment and provides clinically applicable information for those seeking to stay apprised of the latest empirical research on measures and procedures in early assessment. Through authoritative examination by leading developmental and clinical scholars, this handbook takes a closer look at current developmentally based conceptualizations of mental health function and dysfunction in infants and young children as well as current and new diagnostic criteria in such as specific disorders as sensory modulation dysfunction, autism spectrum disorders, affective disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Translation and application to a variety of settings is also discussed. The chapters are presented in four sections corresponding to four broad themes: (1) contextual factors in early assessment; (2) temperament and regulation in assessment of young children; (3) early problems and disorders; and (4) translation and varied applied settings for assessment. Each chapter presents state of the science information on valid, developmentally based clinical assessment and makes recommendations based on developmental theory, empirical findings, and clinical experience. Chapters have been revised and updated, and new chapters have been added to cover family assessment, early care and educational environments, new approaches to distinguish temperament from psychopathology, assess language, and implement second stage screening and referral. The volume recognizes and highlights the important role of developmental, social, and cultural contexts in approaching the challenge of assessing early problems and disorders. This new, updated volume will be an ideal resource for teachers, researchers, and wide variety of clinicians and trainees including child psychologists and psychologists, early interventionists, and early special educators.

Abstract:
AbstractBackground: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a category of neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities. Social robots offer clinicians new ways to interact and work with people with ASD. Robot-Assisted Training (RAT) is a growing body of research in HRI, which studies how robots can assist and enhance human skills during a task-centred interaction. RAT systems have a wide range of application for children with ASD.Aims: In a pilot RCT with an experimental group and a control group, research aims will be: to assess group differences in repetitive and maladaptive behaviours (RMBs), affective states and performance tasks across sessions and within each group; to assess the perception of family relationships between two groups before and post robot interaction; to develop a robotic app capable to run Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM), a test typically used to measure general human intelligence and to compare the accuracy of the robot to capture the data with that run by psychologists.Material and Methods: Patients with mild or moderate level of ASD will be enrolled in the study which will last 3 years. The sample size is: 60 patients (30 patients will be located in the experimental group and 30 patients will be located in the control group) indicated by an evaluation of the estimated enrolment time. Inclusion criteria will be the following: eligibility of children confirmed using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule −2; age ≥ 7 years; clinician judgment during a clinical psychology evaluation; written parental consent approved by the local ethical committee. The study will be conducted over 10 weeks for each participant, with the pretest and post test conducted during the first and last weeks of the study. The training will be provided over the intermediate eight weeks, with one session provided each week, for a total of 8 sessions. Baseline and follow-up evaluation include: socioeconomic status of families will be assessed using the Hollingshead scale; Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) will be used to screen the communication skills and social functioning in children with ASD; Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, 2nd edition (VABS) will be used to assess the capabilities of children in dealing with everyday life; severity and variety of children’s ripetitive behaviours will be also assessed using Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R). Moreover, the perception of family relationships assessment will be run by Portfolio for the validation of parental acceptance and refusal (PARENTS).Expected Results: 1) improbe communication skills; 2) reduced repetitive and maladaptive behaviors; 3) more positive perception of family relationships; 4) improved performance.Conclusions: Robot-Assisted Training aims to train and enhance user (physical or cognitive) skills, through the interaction, and not assist users to complete a task thus a target is to enhance user performance by providing personalized and targeted assistance towards maximizing training and learning effects. Robotics systems can be used to manage therapy sessions, gather and analyse data and like interactions with the patient and generate useful information in the form of reports and graphs, thus are a powerful tool for the therapist to check patient’s progress and facilitate diagnosis.

Abstract:
Management of patients who describe chronic pain all over the body, associated with a range of symptoms as sleep disturbance, overwhelming fatigue, alteration in mood, or psychological distress that worsens the quality of life, is often complex and challenging. This syndrome has been named by terms such as “neurasthenia,” “fibrositis,” and “fibromyalgia”. At the present time, fibromyalgia is considered the most common central sensitivity syndrome, affecting over 5% of the population, being often observed in people with rheumatic conditions. While typically presenting in middle-aged women, fibromyalgia can affect both sexes at any age. The causes of fibromyalgia remain unknown. Significant research findings have focused on dysfunction of central pain processing, with defects in the ascending and descending pain pathways leading to increased pain perception. There are two methods used in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia: criteria-based diagnosis and clinical diagnosis. Although fibromyalgia defies definitively efficacious management, much evidence underlies the importance of treating the psychological factors that affect pain management process. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a psychosomatic approach to fibromyalgia from three points of view of processing: the viewpoint of the medical profession, the position of the psychologist, and finally the way of thinking of people.

Abstract:
The concluding chapter of this section outlines several gaps in current knowledge that will be critical to address in future research. DSM-5 introduced a number of changes in diagnostic criteria for eating disorders, and it is crucial to determine the utility of these revised criteria in addressing the needs of adolescents with clinically significant eating problems. More large studies are needed to understand the frequencies of eating disorders and disordered eating in the general population, and risk factors for their development, including psychological and biological factors. It will be important to improve knowledge of the benefits and risks of psychological and pharmacological treatment interventions, and to clarify the most effective methods of involving the family. Continued research on prevention is critical to understand how efforts to prevent eating disorders can be integrated with interventions to prevent other psychological disorders and obesity.

Abstract:
Dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is estimated to reach epidemic proportions by the year 2030. Given the limited accuracy of current clinical diagnosis, biomarkers of AD pathologies are being sought. Reductions in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of Aβ‎42 (marker of amyloid plaques) and elevations in tau species (markers of neurofibrillary tangles and/or neurodegeneration) are useful for AD diagnosis and prognosis. Novel CSF and plasma/serum biomarkers are being explored to aid in discriminating AD from non-AD neurodegenerative diseases andidentifying additional AD-related processes (e.g., neuroinflammation and early neuronal stress and dysfunction). Biomarkers are being considered for use in clinical trial design and inclusion in revised diagnostic criteria for research and clinical applications. Emphasis is on early (even ‘preclinical’) detection in order to identify and applytherapies that have the best chance of preserving normal cognitive function.
