Photograph was used as a therapeutic tool for the first time in 1856 by Dr. Hugh Diamond. Photos are considered to be representations of a person's reality. The possibility of producing visual images when a client has verbal expression difficulties, photography provides a more structured way of expressing ideas and emotions and to be a means of projective-symbolic communication. Photo therapy with chronic psychotic patients may contribute to development of perception of reality, part-whole relationship, integration, distinction of external-internal world, symbolization capacity and improve ego functions The aim of this study was to determine the effect of phototherapy on symptomatology, functionality, emotional regulation, cognitive skills and coping skills in patients with chronic psychiatric disorders. In accordance with this aim, the study was carried out with 14 outpatients diagnosed as chronic schizophrenic or psychotic disorder. Seven patients received routine medical care plus 28-week psychotherapy with photograph and 7 patients received only routine medical care. Patients were assessed in pre and post-treatment with Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Global Assessment of Functioning, Ways of Coping Inventory and Neuropsychological Test Battery. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test used for statistical analysis. The therapy method resulted in statistically significant reductions in the level of depression and general symptom levels and statistically significant improvement in cognitive abilities and functionality (P < .05). There was also statistically significant improvement in positive reappraisal subscale of coping ways. These findings may indicate that photo-oriented art group therapy might show positive effects on the course of chronic psychotic disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The study involved 75 patients with hallucinatory-paranoid disorders in the structure of vascular dementia (main group) and 63 patients with vascular dementia not complicated by psychotic disorders (control group). As a result of the study, the cognitive features of hallucinatory-paranoid disorders in vascular dementia were identified, which include: operating (DC = –1,55), motivational (DC = –2.32) and dynamic (DC = –1.19) disorders components of thinking and its criticality (DK = –2,06), decrease in stability of attention (DK = –1,93) and memory (DK = –1,27), violation of praxis (DK = –1,46), gnosis (DK = –1.42), costing (DK = –1.08), and orientation (DK = –1.50). Psychopathological features of hallucinatory-paranoid disorders in the structure of vascular dementia were identified, which included: persecutory delusions of material damage, robbery, robbery (p < 0.05), hallucinations (p < 0.0001), verbal aggression (DK = 3.04), severe anxiety (DC = 1.67), rhythm disorders day / night (DC = 2.25), decreased mood (mainly in the form of dysphoria) (DC = 1.42), disorders of the depressive spectrum (p < 0.05); marked distraction (DC = 1.54). The findings should be considered in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with hallucinatory-paranoid disorders in the structure of vascular dementia.

Purpose This article reviews the psychosocial risks associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a relatively common genetic condition associated with a range of physical and psychiatric problems. Risks associated with developmental stages from infancy through adolescence and early adulthood are described, including developmental, learning, and intellectual disabilities as well as psychiatric disorders including anxiety, mood, and psychotic disorders. Other risks related to coping with health problems and related treatments are also detailed for both affected individuals and their families. Conclusion The article ends with strategies for addressing psychosocial risks including provision of condition-specific education, enhancement of social support, routine assessment of cognitive abilities, regular mental health screening, and referrals for empirically supported psychiatric and psychological treatments.

Speech sound disorders are a complex and often persistent disorder in young children. For many children, therapy results in successful remediation of the errored productions as well as age-appropriate literacy and academic progress. However, for some children, while they may attain age-appropriate speech production skills, they later have academic difficulties. For SLPs in the public schools, these children present as challenging in terms of both continuing treatment as well as in terms of caseload management. What happens after dismissal? Have these children truly acquired adequate speech production skills? Do they have lingering language, literacy, and cognitive deficits? The purpose of this article is to describe the language, literacy, and cognitive features of a small group of children with remediated speech sound disorders compared to their typically developing peers.

Abstract Chapter 14, Mental and Behavioral Disorders, in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, defines a process for assessing permanent impairment, including providing numeric ratings, for persons with specific mental and behavioral disorders. These mental disorders are limited to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders, and this chapter focuses on the evaluation of brain functioning and its effects on behavior in the absence of evident traumatic or disease-related objective central nervous system damage. This article poses and answers questions about the sixth edition. For example, this is the first since the second edition (1984) that provides a numeric impairment rating, and this edition establishes a standard, uniform template to translate human trauma or disease into a percentage of whole person impairment. Persons who conduct independent mental and behavioral evaluation using this chapter should be trained in psychiatry or psychology; other users should be experienced in psychiatric or psychological evaluations and should have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. The critical first step in determining a mental or behavioral impairment rating is to document the existence of a definitive diagnosis based on the current edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The article also enumerates the psychiatric disorders that are considered ratable in the sixth edition, addresses use of the sixth edition during independent medical evaluations, and answers additional questions.
