▼ Insight impairment is commonly reported in
psychosis patients and such impairment leads to poor outcome and it
also causes burden to the family and caregivers. It is as yet
unclear what causes unawareness of illness therefore it is
essential to find out the key element to form this fundamental
correlation.
Wiffen and David proposed that self-reflective
processing may have similar cognitive mechanisms as theory of mind
processing, but this does not imply that the processes cannot be
affected independently. Lysaker et al. demonstrated that better
meta-cognitive skills, such as the ability to think about one’s own
thoughts were related to better insight in schizophrenia patients.
An increasing number of studies suggest that patients lacking
insight into their own illness, were fully capable of recognizing
the illness and symptoms in other patients. This indicated that
insight impairment only happened at the self-recognition level.
The ability of integrating information from outside world to the
self is seen as a factor in gaining insight, therefore
self-reflection ability are commonly seen as key features of
awareness of mental illness. Previous studies of chronic
schizophrenia patients show that their ability to accept the
biological model of their own psychotic symptoms, assessed with
Guided Illness Model Questionnaire (GIM) questionnaire, has a
positive association with their neuropsychological function and
awareness of illness However, it has not been common to use GIM
questionnaire in early stage psychosis patients.
This study aims
are (1) use Guided Illness Model Questionnaire (GIM) to assess the
self-reflection ability of early stage psychosis patients (2)
explore the relationship between self-reflection and insight (3)
Cognitive functions, particular executive functions, will be
evaluated with self-reflection ability and insight. Insight will be
measured by scale to assess unawareness of mental disorder (SUMD).
Results show self-reflection ability is related with insight
impairment and executive function, especially processing speed and
attention contributes to self-reflection ability and poor insight.
Further investigation reveals that self-reflection ability acts as
a mediator for poor insight. This study concludes that executive
functioning is the basic-order process for gaining insight and
self-reflection could act as higher-order process as mediator for
provoking insight for psychosis patients.

▼ Objectives: Stigma is believed to be one of
the major barriers for the recovery process of persons with
psychosis. Stigma-reducing program is believed to be able to
enhance public knowledge and to improve treatment outcome as well
as to alleviate discrimination and stigma. The current study
therefore aimed at examining the level of public stigma of
psychosis and its relationship with public attitudes towards
patients with psychosis. The relationship of public’s stigma level,
previous contact of persons with psychosis and the social distance
scores on vignette will be studied.
Method: Seventy-seven
subjects were recruited from public health talks on psychosis
organized by the Jockey Club Early Psychosis Project (JECP).Public
stigma towards psychosis would be tested by two scales: the
validated tool The Public Stigma Scale (Chan et al., 2009; Mak et
al., 2012) and The Social Distance Scales (Chung, Chen &
Liu2001). Other assessments included subjects’ previous contact
with patients of psychosis and their history of working in the
medical field.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 43.51
years (SD= 13.295); 23(32.5%) were male and 52 were female. In all,
15 (19.5%) had the history of working in medical field and
62(80.5%) worked in non-medical field; 49(63.6%) had pervious
contact with the patients with psychosis while 28 (36.4%) did not
have such experience. In our study, no correlation was found
between overall stigma and number of contacts. Also, no correlation
was found between overall stigma with gender and occupation. And we
found that The Public Stigma and social distance were correlated.
Subjects who had lower scores in the public stigma scale were
related with less rejecting attitudes towards patient with
psychosis.
Conclusion: In this study, we found that pervious
contact did not have significant correlation with the stigma and
attitude. Gender and history of working in medical field difference
also did not have significant correction with stigma and attitudes.
Further studies are recommended to explore more effective
strategies in stigma-reducing programme.

▼ Motivations
Ideas and delusions of reference
(I/DOR) are common psychotic symptoms and can be defined as
self-referential experiences in excess of the amount of evidence
available in the immediate environment. A putative neurocognitive
mechanism is increased automatic attention capture by
self-referential (SR) information. This study was carried out to
test the hypotheses that 1) compared with patients with no I/DOR,
those who have the symptom have increased attentional shift to SR
information and 2) there is a positive correlation between the
severity of I/DOR and the extent of attentional shift to SR
information. Clinical and cognitive correlates of I/DOR were also
explored.
Methods
Patients with I/DOR (n=20, mean age 25.2±7.9
years, 4 men) and without I/DOR (n=17, mean age 28.6±8.2 years, 10
men) matched for age and education were assessed for positive
symptoms, negative symptoms, mood symptoms and basic
neurocognition. I/DOR were phenomenologically assessed using the
Ideas of Reference Interview Scale (IRIS). In an interference task,
patients were instructed to respond to computerized Stroop tasks
while ignoring a voice clip presented binaurally with the subject’s
own name (SON) embedded in certain trials. Within-subject
differences in reaction time and accuracy between Stroop trials
with and without SON were used as parameters to measure the degree
of attentional shift to SR information.
Between-group and
within-subject differences in the reaction time and accuracy in the
interference task were analysed using 2×2 mixed-ANOVA. Bivariate
correlation was used to explore the relationship between IRIS
scores and performance in the interference task. Stepwise linear
regression analysis was used to explore the correlates of I/DOR.
Results
There was statistically significant interaction between
conditions with and without SON and patient groups on the reaction
time of the interference task (p=0.048). Simple main effects showed
the mean difference of reaction time between conditions with and
without SON was statistically significant in patients with I/DOR
(p=0.001) but not in patients without I/DOR (p=0.862). Parameters
used in the interference task correlated highly with IRIS global
score and subscores on pervasiveness, self-referential discrepancy,
conviction and frequency (r=0.328-0.517, range; p<0.05),
unaltered by other clinical and cognitive variables except
depressive symptoms and social anxiety. Regression analysis showed
that I/DOR were related to depressive symptoms, social anxiety and
attentional shift to SON.
Discussion
The significant
interaction and simple main effect suggest that I/DOR are
associated with a heightened attentional shift to SR information.
The robust correlations between IRIS scores and attentional shift
to SON provide some evidence to support the continuum hypothesis of
I/DOR. The possible roles of emotions in the pathogenesis of I/DOR
are discussed.
Significance
With the use of well-matched
patient samples and an ecologically valid paradigm based on known
human…

▼ Motivations
The growing interest in the
investigation of longitudinal course and outcome of psychotic
disorders grew from the Kraepelinian view of schizophrenia, which
was considered a disease with progressive downhill course. With
emerging evidence-based findings suggesting outcome heterogeneity,
prospective studies have strived to identify factors influencing
the course and outcome. The paucity of prospective long-term
studies has prevented us from knowing the enduring impacts of
predictors.
Using a prospective cohort of 153 psychosis
patients, the study aimed to determine the outcome of global
functioning, remission, functional recovery, and recovery at 13
years following the first-episode psychosis. Prognostic values of a
range of baseline and early outcome predictors were examined.
Specific research interests included the explorations of the
enduring impact of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), the
longitudinal relationship between neurocognition and functional
outcome, and the added predictive ability of early outcome
predictors.
Methods
This study attempted to follow up the 153
patients at 13 years following their first episode onset of
psychosis. Prior investigations collected a comprehensive profile
of demographics, premorbid adjustment, clinical symptoms, and
neurcognition at baseline. Early outcomes at 3 years including
remission, relapse, primary negative symptoms, and unemployment
were also ascertained. In this current investigation, living
subjects were invited to an interview in order to assess their
outcomes of global functioning, remission, functional recovery, and
recovery at 13 years. Appropriate regression models were applied to
identify predictors of long-term outcomes. Standardized mortality
ratios (SMRs) for all-cause mortality and suicide were also
determined.
Results
Ninety-six patients were successfully
interviewed. Their mean (s.d.) score of global functioning was 64.3
(16.5). Considerable proportions of patients fulfilled criteria for
remission (47%), functional recovery (33%), and recovery (16%) at
13 years. Higher level of global functioning was predicted by a
married status at study entry and being in remission and employed
at 3 years. Remission was predicted by a shorter DUP and better
premorbid social adjustment. Functional recovery was predicted by
better premorbid social adjustment, better baseline visual memory,
and being employed at 3 years. No baseline and early outcome
predictors of recovery could be identified. Addition of early
outcome predictors significantly increased the variance explained
for global functioning and improved model discrimination between
patients who had functional recovery and those who had not. SMRs
for all-cause mortality and suicide were 6.07 and 24.80,
respectively.
Discussion
A prolonged DUP may intensify the
progression of negative symptoms and lead to less likelihood of
remission. The study has confirmed the enduring adverse impact of
DUP but its reversibility is still in doubt. As the significance of
visual memory in…

▼ Empirical studies had demonstrated
inconsistencies between duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and
outcome measures including negative symptoms severity and
functional outcome. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how
either the construct of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) or
duration of untreated illness (DUI) acted on associating and
predicting negative symptoms, its sub-domains and functional
outcome among psychotic population in Hong Kong.
Totally three
hundred and forty five subjects were recruited from in-patient and
out-patient setting in hospitals under hospital authority. DUP and
DUI were assessed by semi-interviewed with subjects, their family
members and other significant others. And the Scale of Assessment
of Negative Symptoms (SANS) and Social and Occupational Functioning
Assessment Scale (SOFAS) were adopted as assessment tools to
measure negative symptoms severity and functioning of individual
respectively. Regression models were used to analyse how DUI and
DUP differed in associating and predicting different variables.
Results showed that DUI took a more significant role in associating
and predicting negative symptoms and functional outcome in which it
demonstrated stronger positive correlation with negative symptoms
and stronger negative correlation with functional outcome. DUI was
also found to act as a potential predictor for both negative
symptom severity and functional outcome. At the same time, among
all sub-domains, anhedonia showed mild positive correlation with
both DUI and DUP while other four didn’t show similar association.
The results provided increased insight that DUI might play a more
significant role in determining the development of negative
symptoms and functional outcome than DUP. Yet, limitations on
various aspects had been addressed in this study such as the high
level of heterogeneity of our sample and potential confounders
which partially correlated with the outcome parameter. Also, no
causal relationship had been yield between DUI / DUP and outcome
variables. Further investigation was suggested on dividing the
sample into sub-group to draw information regarding the
characteristics of associations. Meanwhile, better control on
potential confounding variables might help generating clearer
picture on how independent variables associated with each
other.

▼ Aims: Psychosis is associated with serious
stigma, impacting a person's psychosocial functioning. Religious
group membership may provide social support for patients recovering
from psychosis, while there may also be additional clinically
beneficial effects of religiosity. We test the primary hypothesis
that patients with religious group membership have better social
support and functioning, compared with patients who are not
attached to any religious group, with or without other group
activities. The qualities that may contribute to clinical and
social improvements in patients with religion are explored.
Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional design with
semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. A total of 63
participants were recruited from out-patient clinics: (1) 12
patients with religious group background (Catholic or Protestant);
(2) 16 patients with no religious background participating in other
community groups; (3) 15 patients with no religious background and
other community activities; and (4) 20 healthy controls without
religious background for comparison of social support and social
functioning.
Results: ANOVA analyses show that religious group
was significantly better than community-activity group, followed by
non-religious group in interpersonal functioning and social
support. Healthy controls, though, had advantages in social
functioning over the community-activity and non-religious groups,
they were not significantly better than the religious group in
interpersonal functioning, perceived social functioning or social
support. This study discovers that the internal qualities, namely
private practice, intrinsic experience, and subjective importance
of religion, predict the clinical outcomes and social functioning,
instead of the collective features of religion.
Discussion: The
findings confirm that the religious group had better social
functioning and social support than the community-activity group,
suggesting that apart from the emphasis on community activities,
religion is also valuable in building up social functioning and
support. Among different areas of religion, frequency of private
practice, intrinsic experience and subjective importance
significantly correlated with clinical outcome, medication
compliance, social functioning, social support, perceived stigma
and experienced stigma. It may imply that the internal qualities
have a greater impact on functioning and outcomes than the communal
activities. The semi-structured interviews revealed that patients
obtained positive aspects of religion, namely, comfort, support,
sense of control, and meanings of illness. Ways of dealing with
mental illness through religion were mentioned in the interviews.
Significance: The study shows that religion and religiosity also
play an important role in social functioning and mental health even
more so than community activities. The ways of living with symptoms
may also be helpful to patients with psychotic symptoms. The
spiritual interventions in treatment of psychosis could be
considered in case…

▼ Objective: To develop and validate a
standardized self-stigma scale to capture the self-stigma level of
early psychosis patients with lack of insight of their own mental
condition. This bridges the research gap for existing scales
measuring self-stigma in early psychosis patients. Method: We used
qualitative data from focus groups and individual interviews with
early psychosis patients to develop a pilot scale with15 concern
issues and 48 items. We recruited 40 early psychosis patients in
order to validate the scale. Of these, 15 were invited to complete
the questionnaire twice within two to three weeks’ time for
measuring the test-retest reliability for the scale. Results: The
final self-stigma scale with 15concern issues and 32 items was
produced. The self-stigma scale scores were positively correlated
with depression, medication side-effects, positive and negative
symptoms, insight, social withdrawal, perceived devaluation and
discrimination, as well as experienced stigma. While the
self-stigma scores were negatively correlated with social
functioning and self-disclosure. However, their correlation with
the self-stigma scale all served as discriminant validity.
Discussion: The self-report questionnaire, which could be completed
within ten to fifteen minutes, might help us understand more about
the role of self-stigma in early psychosis patients in both
research and clinical settings, also, its future applications were
discussed.

▼ Background Many researches have studied stigma
among people with mental illness, mainly focusing on its
relationship with insight, psychological well-being and clinical
outcomes. Psychotic disorder is described as a condition that
influences one’s affect, thoughts and behaviors, with psychiatric
symptoms including disorganized speech and bizarre behaviors, which
frighten the general population. Common scales used in literatures
to study stigma target the general population’s attitude towards
mental illness instead of self-stigma, the internalized stereotypes
of people suffering from psychotic disorders. Insight is likely to
be different at different stages of schizophrenic spectrum
disorder, but current evidence was mostly done in chronic
schizophrenia patients.
Aim This study explored the
correlational association between self-stigma, insight and social
functioning among people with first episode psychotic disorder and
if self-stigma and insight were predictors of social functioning.
Method Self-stigma, insight and social functioning were assessed
among using structured interviews and questionnaires. Thirty-three
out patients from the Early Intervention Team at Queen Mary
Hospital in Hong Kong diagnosed with schizophrenic spectrum
disorder participated in the study. The internalized stigma of
mental illness scale was used to assess self-stigma; the
unawareness of mental disorder scale was used to assess level of
insight; and the social and occupational functioning assessment
scale was used to assess level of social functioning.
Results
The linear regression analysis showed that self-stigma and insight
were not significant predictors of social functioning (r = 0.67, β=
-0.289, p < 0.05; adjusted R² = 0.39). However the regression
analysis showed the subscale stereotype endorsement was a
significant predictor of social functioning (r = 0.690, β= -0.333,
p < 0.05; adjusted R² = 0.420) and accounted for 47.6% of the
variance in social functioning levels. Moreover, the bivariate
correlational analysis showed significant negative correlational
relationships between self-stigma and social functioning, and
insight and social functioning. There was no correlational
relationship between self-stigma and level of insight.
Conclusion Results showed that self-stigma and insight play
different roles towards social and role functioning. Although
analysis did not show a significant outcome indicating self-stigma
and insight being the predictors of functioning, data showed that
the values were close to being significant.

▼ Medication adherence is a well-known barrier
in hindering successful pharmacological treatment, particularly in
early psychosis patients. The aims of promotion and implementation
of early intervention service not only change patient’s trajectory
of long-term outcome positively but also broaden a therapeutic
window by detecting patient’s medication non-adherence attitudes
and behaviors in the very early stage of illness. Needless to say,
the rate of non-adherent to medication in early psychosis is high
due to a variety of potential risk factors. The consequences of
medication non-adherence are devastating. In adherence research,
the researchers devote their life to investigate in this aspect.
As suggested by previous studies, a basket of consistent and
inconsistent as well as strong or weak predictors are relevant to
medication adherence. However, they tend to examine the medication
adherence attitudes and behaviors together. Since someone behavior
is not the same as his/her attitude toward medication adherence,
the current study thus explores them separately. Given very scanty
studies addressing the issue, this study focuses on asking whether
different sets of baselines predictors contribute to medication
adherence attitudes and behaviors differently are true.
Within a
six-month period of follow-up, 340 first episode psychosis patients
have been included in the sample. We assessed various
patient-related, medication-related, and environmental-related
constructs (age, gender, martial status, education level,
occupation, living condition, family history of mental illness,
mode of onset, premorbid functioning, DUP, hospitalization,
symptoms severity, level of insight, type of medication, medication
side effects, and therapeutic alliance) at baseline as well as
measured their medication adherence attitude and behaviors at
six-month follow-up period. The result of the study are in accord
with our hypothesis that different groups of risk factors
contribute to medication adherence attitude and behaviors
differently in the first six months of treatment of early psychosis
patients. After putting the same set of variables into analyses on
medication adherence attitudes and behaviors separately, findings
reveal that DUP, insight, side effect on psychic aspect, and
patients’ rating on communication effectiveness with clinicians are
the significant predictors for medication adherence attitudes while
gender, experienced hospitalization, and psychopathology severity
are the influential indicators in predicting medication adherence
behaviors. Our data indeed fills in the adherence research gap to
address what predictors affect medication adherence attitude and
behavior differently.
The implication is that if we just put
medication adherence attitude and behavior together into the
discussion, it would oversimplify the medication adherence
phenomenon. Our study serves as a cornerstone to obtain a better
understanding in the dynamic process of medication treatment
decision-making in terms of patients’ medication adherence…

▼ Humor recognition and appreciation are
important aspects to enhance psychological well-being and enrich
social relationships and interactions. The present study
hypothesized that first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients with adult
onset in the Chinese society have deficits in humor recognition and
appreciation compared with healthy controls. It also predicted FEP
patients with a diminished ability in recalling humorous stimuli.
Moreover, this study sought to explore the potential associations
of humor recognition and appreciation deficits with measures of
clinical symptoms, psychosocial and neurocognitive functioning, and
self-perception towards hope and recovery among FEP patients.
Thirty FEP patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia,
schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, brief
psychotic disorder or delusional disorder were compared with 30
healthy controls matched for gender, age and education years on a
humor task comprising six comedy video clips. Humor recognition was
measured by the detection of total ‘standard humorous moments’ in
the comedy clips. Humor appreciation was measured by self-report
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) funniness ratings. Percentage of
recalled ‘standard humorous moments’ was also measured. Changes in
positive and negative mood states were measured using Positive and
Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Patients were assessed for
clinical symptoms, psychosocial functioning, self-perception
towards recovery and hope, and a battery of neuropsychological
tests measuring executive function, working memory, intelligence
quotient, semantic and visuospatial memory, and selective
attention.
FEP patients had a lower number in detection of total
‘standard humorous moments’, in total VAS funniness rating, and in
percentage of recalled ‘standard humorous moments’ compared with
healthy controls. Patients and healthy controls did not differ in
positive and negative mood changes induced by the comedy clips. In
patients, humor recognition had significant negative correlation
with negative symptoms and significant positive correlation with
self-perception towards hope. Recall of ‘standard humorous moments’
had significant negative correlation with negative symptoms and
significant positive correlation with immediate and delayed recall
using working memory. Both humor recognition and appreciation had
no correlation with psychosocial and neurocognitive functioning.
FEP patients had impaired humor recognition, appreciation and
recall compared with healthy controls. The degree of humor
recognition and recall deficits may be, respectively, associated
with the extent of negative symptoms and attributed to impairments
in the neurocognitive domain of working memory. Potentials of
humorous stimuli in inducing a positive impact on mood for the
patient population were found, providing insight for the
introduction of humor therapy as a new form of intervention that
could further improve psychological well-being.

▼ The current study analysed baseline data from
the Jockey Club Early Psychosis (JCEP) 4-year RCT study (still
underway). The aims were to (1) examine whether the correlations
between premorbid functioning and the outcome variables of social
functioning and clinical symptoms were significant in baseline
measurements of the JCEP study, and (2) pave the way for the
examination of the persistence of these correlations at 4 year
follow-up, after the completion of the JCEP study.
360
first-episode adult-onset psychosis patients with
schizophrenia-spectrum disorders were recruited from all inpatient
and outpatient psychiatric units in Hong Kong since 2009. Premorbid
functioning was measured by the Premorbid Adjustment Scale (PAS).
Social functioning was measured by the Role Functioning Scale (RFS)
and Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS).
Clinical symptoms were measured using the Positive and Negative
Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms
(SANS), and Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS).
Premorbid adjustment was significantly correlated with social
functioning and negative symptoms; patients with poorer premorbid
adjustment had worse social functioning and more severe negative
symptoms. Positive symptoms were not significantly correlated with
premorbid adjustment. There were no gender differences in premorbid
adjustment. The majority of patients had a pattern of good
premorbid adjustment (adequate to good levels of premorbid
adjustment across all age-specific time periods). There were no
significant differences in the outcome variables between the
premorbid adjustment patterns. The current study findings have
important clinical implications, in terms of advising the use of
more effective and personalized interventions and treatment
regimens on patients. In addition, the examination of premorbid
adjustment facilitates early detection and identification of high
risk psychosis individuals, which may help to reduce the duration
of untreated psychosis.

▼ There is now consistent evidence linking
environmental factors to the development of Psychotic disorder. One
of the most well received hypotheses put forward to explain these
associations is the Social Defeat Hypothesis, which postulates the
key mechanism underlying these factors be a chronic experience of
social defeat. A wide body of evidence has gathered in support of
this hypothesis. The majority of this research, has however, tended
to focus on associations between social defeat experiences and
psychosis. Other facets of social defeat, such as related cognitive
and affective mechanisms, have received little attention. The
current thesis aimed to explore two such mechanisms, namely
perceptions of social defeat (negative social comparisons) and
sensitivity to social defeat, within a Chinese population, and
their relations to psychosis proneness. It intended to do this in
two ways: Firstly through developing psychometrically valid
measures of these mechanisms for use within a Chinese population,
and secondly through employing one of these measures to explore the
relationship between perceptions of social defeat and psychosis
proneness. Study 1 examined the psychometric properties of the
Chinese Social Comparison scale (SCS-C) and its associations with
measures of psychopathology. A two-factor structure, including 10
of the original 11 items was identified. Measures of social
comparison were found to be significantly negatively correlated
with all measures of the Symptom Check List-90, suggesting that
associations between negative social comparisons and
psychopathology in ethnically Chinese participants are similar to
those found in western populations. Hence, the Chinese version of
the SCS (SCS-C) can be recommended for use within Chinese speaking
populations. Study 2 employed the Chinese Social Comparison Scale
(validated in Study 1), to examine the relationship between
negative social comparisons and psychosis proneness, including
moderators and familial associations. As expected, all measures of
social comparison were found to predict both the negative and
depressive dimensions of psychosis. Unexpectedly no measures of
social comparison predicted the positive psychotic experiences. Use
of more problem-focused coping styles, including seeking social
support and active coping, was found to moderate the effects of
negative social comparisons on psychosis proneness. Finally, the
results of cross-twin, cross-trait analyses suggested a familial
association between belonging and the negative dimension of
psychosis. Together these findings highlight the potential
importance of negative social comparisons as a risk factor for
psychotic disorder, specifically the negative and depressive
dimensions. Study 3 developed and validated a Chinese translation
of a novel experimental task (Digi-Spee) designed to induce a minor
social defeat experience through mimicking an online social
networking interaction. The Chinese version of the Digi-Spee was
found to be effective in inducing changes in affect and was able to
differentiate…

▼ Traditionally, psychotic symptoms such as
hallucinations and delusions were linked invariably to
psychopathology. However, there is increasing evidence that
psychosis may be a continuous phenotype with subclinical
manifestations. This paradigm shift has fueled research interest in
“psychosis proneness”, the extent to which an individual
experiences psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) that are insufficient
to warrant a diagnosis. Since psychosis proneness is conceptualized
as a subclinical manifestation of clinical psychosis with shared
etiology, studying cognitive correlates of psychosis proneness may
shed light on psychological risk mechanisms of psychosis while
circumventing confounding variables of illness experience in
clinical samples. This thesis focuses on the mechanism of aberrant
“affective salience attribution”, the tendency to assign emotional
(positive or negative) meaning to neutral sensory information. To
study the relationship between affective salience attribution and
psychosis proneness, a psychosis proneness scale was first
validated, and then correlated with an experimental task tapping
affective salience attribution.
Study 1 pertained to the
psychometric robustness of a widely-used 42-item psychosis
proneness self-report tool, “Community Assessment of Psychic
Experiences” (CAPE). To study CAPE’s score reliability, 18 studies
that reported original internal reliability coefficients
(Cronbach’s alpha) were aggregated in a reliability generalization
meta-analysis. Results suggested that CAPE scores were typically
reliable (α > .70). Furthermore, to confirm the nature of
factors tapped by CAPE, 17 factor-analytic studies were reviewed
and subjected to a meta-analysis of factor analyses. Results
supported CAPE’s three-factor model with subscales tapping
positive, negative and depressive symptoms.
Study 2 concerned the
validation of a Chinese translation of CAPE (CAPE-C). Factor
analyses of CAPE-C scores from 660 youths suggested that a 15-item
structure (CAPE-C15) captured the psychosis proneness phenotype in
young Chinese better than the original structure (Study 2a).
Convergent-divergent validity of CAPE-C15 subscale scores was
demonstrated by significant associations with relevant measures and
non-significant associations with irrelevant ones (Study 2b).
Validating CAPE-C15 rendered it possible to study cognitive
correlates of psychosis proneness in Chinese youth, supplementing
the predominantly Western literature. One putative cognitive risk
mechanism of psychosis is aberrant affective salience attribution.
Previous research has suggested that the tendency to extract
affective speech from white noise (“affective speech illusion”) is
significantly higher in psychotic patients and their siblings than
in controls. However, no studies have examined the relationship
between affective speech illusion and psychosis proneness in a
general population. Study 3 addressed this void. Results showed
that “negative speech illusion” was associated with higher CAPE-C15
positive symptom scores, but positive and…

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The striatum is involved in learning from feedback. Psychosis is strongly related to increased striatal dopamine. The goal of the current research is to examine whether psychosis risk is associated with neural evidence consistent with increased striatal dopamine. If psychosis risk is associated with increased striatal dopamine, then it is expected that psychosis risk would be associated with decreased striatal activation on a task involving learning from both positive and negative feedback, a probabilistic category learning task (PCLT; i.e. the Weather Prediction Task). Further, it is also expected that psychosis risk would be associated with increased striatal activation for unexpected reward but decreased striatal activation for unexpected punishment on a task that allows for separate assessment of reward and punishment feedback, a reversal learning task (RLT). In the current study, there were two groups of college student participants: (a) psychosis risk (n = 21) who had both extreme levels of self-reported psychotic-like beliefs and experiences as well as at least moderate levels of interview-rated current attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS); and (b) controls (n = 20) who had average levels of self-reported psychotic-like beliefs and experiences. Participants completed both the PCLT and RLT during fMRI scanning. As expected there was decreased striatal activation on the PCLT in psychosis risk. Further, as expected, on the RLT, for unexpected reward psychosis risk was associated with increased striatal activation, but for unexpected punishment psychosis risk was associated with decreased striatal activation. The current results suggest that psychosis risk is associated with a pattern of neural dysfunction that is consistent with increased striatal dopamine in psychosis risk.

▼ Vaimuhaigused on pikka aega olnud osa inimkonna ajaloost, kuigi skisofreenia termin võeti kasutusele alles pisut üle 100 aasta tagasi. Skisofreenia all kannatab ligi 1% rahvastikust ja ning see kuulub 15 juhtiva töövõimetuse põhjuse hulka. Skisofreeniahaigete eluiga on keskmisest populatsioonist 15-20 aastat oodatust lühem. Skisofreeniaspektrihäired avalduvad esmase psühhootilise episoodiga enamasti noores täiskasvanueas ja psühhoosi puhul võivad kliinilises pildis ilmneda erinevad sümptomid, mis on iseloomulikud ka skisofreeniale, nagu näiteks taju-, mõtlemis-, tunde- ja tahteelu häired. Diagnoosimise muudavad subjektiivseks ja keerukaks erinevate psühhootiliste häirete sümptomite suhteline sarnasus ning diagnostiliste biomarkerite pakettide puudumine erinevate psühhootiliste haiguste eristamiseks.
Psühhoosile eelnevad tavaliselt muutused organismi ainevahetusprotsessides, näiteks süsivesikute ja lipiidide ainevahetuses, oksüdatiivse stressi või põletikumarkerite tasemetes (s.o metaboolne düsregulatsioon). Samas puudub ühtne seisukoht, et kuivõrd metaboolne düsregulatsioon krooniliste psühhootiliste häirete puhul on omistatav haigusele enesele või antipsühhootilise ravi kõrvalmõjudele. Antud küsimusele võimaldab vastuseid pakkuda esmase psühhoosiepisoodiga patsientide vereseerumi metaboolsete biomarkerite taseme uurimine enne antipsühhootilise ravi alustamist ja ravi kohaldamise järgselt.
Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi Psühhiaatriakliiniku esmase psühhootilise episoodiga patsientide uurimine ja tulemuste analüüsimine ning võrdlemine tervete vabatahtlikega võimaldas leida ja järeldada, et esmane psühhoosiepisood on seotud madalatasemelise kroonilise põletikulise seisundiga, millega kaasnevad muutused lipidoomikas (atsüülkarnitiinide spektris), kuid samal ajal ei esine sisulist erinevust oksüdatiivse stressi tasemes võrreldes kontrollgrupiga. Seitsmekuulise antipsühhootilise ravi tulemusena alaneb põletiku ja oksüdatiivse stressi tase ning atsüülkarnitiinide muutused normaliseeruvad kontrollgrupi tasemele.; Mental disorders have long been a part of human history, but as a discrete mental illness schizophrenia was first described slightly over 100 years ago. Schizophrenia is affecting about 1% of the population and is considered one of the top 15 leading causes of disability worldwide. Persons with schizophrenia have an exceptionally short life expectancy, resulting in approximately 15-20 years below that of the general population. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders tend to start with first-episode psychosis at an early adult age. Psychosis is a complex of symptoms accompanying schizophrenia like perceptual disturbances of reality, hallucinations, thought and executive function disorders. The diagnostic obstacles so far have been the relatively subjective diagnostic modality that may result in errors due to the complex spectrum of symptoms, their similarities to several mental disorders and the absence of specific set of diagnostic biomarkers.
Psychosis is usually preceded by changes in metabolic processes including…

▼ Background: In recent years, the study of
emotion in psychosis has been neglected, and it would seem from the
literature that emotion is not related to the formation or
prediction of psychosis. Because emotions are the subjective
experience of patients, they are not easily quantified. However,
the latest fMRI research has shown that emotion and brain function
are related and that understanding emotion is valuable for
understanding patients’ cognitive function and its potential
relationship with psychosis. Emotion regulation can be divided into
two different categories based on when in the sequence of emotion
regulation they appear. Cognitive reappraisal is
antecedent-focused, and suppression is response-focused. I
hypothesize that cognitive reappraisal can decrease maladaptive
thought and emotions. In contrast, expressive suppression can
reduce the appearance of emotion but not inner emotion.
Furthermore, inhibiting a preference may not stop maladaptive
emotions from arising over a long period of time.
Methods: Two
groups were recruited in study: a clinical group of patients with
psychosis and a nonclinical group of healthy adolescents with no
record of mental illness.
Twenty-four psychotic patients were
recruited from Early Assessment Services for Young People (EASY) in
Queen Mary Hospital, and 30 nonclinical participants were recruited
from nongovernmental organizations and schools. The participants
ranged from 17 to 34 years old and were native Cantonese speakers
living in Hong Kong. They completed a variety of measures of
emotion regulation, depression, and anxiety.
Results: The
clinical and nonclinical groups were similar on several dimensions,
including their demographic information and pattern of strategy
usage. A higher percentage used both emotion-regulation strategies
to cope with maladaptive emotion, and fewer used a single strategy.
However, the two groups had significantly different outcomes from
using expressive suppression as their major emotion regulation
pattern. The clinical group was more likely to have higher
depressive symptoms (moderate to severe levels on the Beck
Depression Inventory).
Conclusion: It is valuable to assess
emotion-regulation strategies in order to evaluate patients’
habitual coping strategy. Cognitive reappraisal seems to allow
participants to retain their cognitive function when maladaptive
emotions are not fully occupying their cognitive resources. In
contrast, when maladaptive emotion reaches a very high level, it
cannot be contained through cognitive reappraisal. Habitual use of
expressive suppression affects cognitive functioning and depletes
resources that could be used for other regulation attempts.
Unsuccessfully regulated maladaptive emotions could be a risk
factor that occupies the cognitive functioning of psychotic
patients. In order to solidify this hypothesis, further
longitudinal research on psychotic patients’ emotional history is
needed. More research is needed to understand the relationship
between maladaptive emotions, cognitive function, and…

▼ Introduction: This study explored the
subjective experience of relapse of psychosis from the patients’
perspective and the meanings they attach to the relapse, their
prevention and their perception of risk of relapse.
Method: A
qualitative methodology was used based on a semi-structure
interview. Audio tapes were transcribed verbatim and two
researchers participated in a content analysis that identified five
major themes: meaning of relapse, perceived risk of relapse in the
future, views on antipsychotic medication, subjective risk and
protective factors of relapse and the cost of having psychosis.
Results: Patients’ view of relapse was similar to those held by
psychiatrists, however, patients had a broader definition of the
criteria of relapse, extending from family support to medication
discontinuation. Their major concerns were the side effects and the
independence of antipsychotic medication.
Conclusion: Ideas about
what constitutes relapse need to take into account the patients’
views and experiences in order to further improve and develop
relevant intervention of relapse prevention in early
psychosis.

▼ Objectives
Severe mental illness is a
debilitating condition affecting a wide range of functioning of an
individual. Identification of signs and symptoms is part of
clinical assessment which aids case formulation, making diagnosis,
determine treatment planning and outcome. How the symptoms are
documented in case record undoubtedly affect the decision and
communication among mental health professionals, treatment
protocol, potential outcome and prognosis.
This is the first
study in Hong Kong mental health service to overview the symptom
dimensions documented by clinicians in case records. Currently,
there is no clinical practice guideline to guide clinicians on
symptom documentation. This study attempts to explore the symptom
dimensions as documented in the first interview records of people
with first episode psychosis in EASY clinic in a local hospital.
The result will serve as preliminary reference material or the
development of an appropriate documentation guideline or audit in
future.
Method
A retrospective review of case records was
conducted to evaluate the symptom documentation by clinicians. All
first interview notes of patients suffering from schizophrenia
spectrum disorder who attended the EASY clinic in 2012 were
included.90 case records were identified. The symptoms
characteristics were recorded into a template and categorized with
reference to the domains of psychopathology in DSM-5, SAPS and
SANS. A total of 29 items of symptom characteristics and related
clinical features were identified and measured with descriptive
statistics.
Results
All symptom characteristics and clinical
features were reported in percentage. It was found that majority of
interview notes(62%)had documented a range of 22-26items out of 29
items(76-90%) of symptom characteristics and clinical features
observed from case records. Clinicians had demonstrated high
proficiency in documenting a comprehensive range of psychiatric
symptoms.
Conclusion
This paper aims to increase the awareness of
clinicians on continuous evaluation of current practice on symptom
documentation; to identify good practice or area for improvement;
and initiate the development of standardized documentation
guideline to guide future symptom documentation practice for
betterment of quality patient care and service planning for people
with first episode psychosis.

▼ Background: Group-based life coaching
intervention is new in mental health service to promote early
functional recovery. This study explored the experience of a
10-week group-based life coaching intervention for patients with
schizophrenia from the users’ perspective.
Method: A qualitative
methodology was used based on individual interviews. Four
participates referred by the coach were successfully engaged. The
materials were taped and transcribed.
Result: Seven categories
forming four main themes were identified: the usefulness of the
coaching intervention; characteristic of goals, subjective feeling
during and after the coaching intervention; and perceived changes
afterward.
Conclusion: Participants were satisfied with the
experience through the coaching intervention. They adopted the
tactics acquired to cope with the life events and clinical symptoms
such as positive and negative psychotic symptoms. Successful
attainment of desirable career was their common goals which were
facilitated by the sense of achievement continuously encountered
during the intervention. Positive changes in both personal and
interpersonal level were recorded and thus increased the courage to
pursue their ultimate careers. Peer support in group-based
intervention enhanced the perseverance towards the pathway to goal
attainment. Dependence on the coaches after intervention was
observed which was contradictory to one of the aims of life
coaching. This study examined the possibility of the implementation
of this newly developed intervention in mental healthcare setting
in addition to the currently available psychological interventions.
Further research directions to improve the utility and explore the
domain of recovery are suggested.

▼ Background: For early psychosis patients, the
first few years were critical period for determining long-term
illness outcome. The first experience of admission had significant
bearing on the perception of subsequent psychiatric treatment
received. From this perspective, it was important to be aware of
how patients suffered and how they coped in order to regain their
sense of self of insight and treatment adherence and trust with
nurses’ rapport and their therapeutic relationship. In this regard,
a qualitative study was done with an aim to (i) explore the
admission experiences and beliefs participants held upon admission
and after discharged within two months. (ii) any influences on
their perceptions of experience during and after admission which
might impact on therapeutic relationship and treatment attitude
Method: Eight ICD-10 first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients aged
between 18 and 55 years who admitted to psychiatric inpatient unit
for the management of their FEP were recruited. Two face-to-face
in-depth interviews were conducted for each participant. First
interview was conducted within 2 weeks of admission, while second
interview was conducted during psychiatric outpatient follow-up
appointment within two months after discharged from hospital. All
interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Thematic analysis was
employed to derive common themes regarding patients’ experience and
perception on psychiatric hospitalization for their FEP.
Results: Thematic analysis revealed six main themes regarding
patients’ subjective experience and perception on the illness and
hospitalization. These were uncontrollable sense of self,
supportive relationship with family members, unpleasant admission
procedure, and feeling out of control during hospitalization,
perceived benefits of admission, and perceived adverse impacts of
admission.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated that ideas about
what constitute admission perception needed to take into account of
patient’s views and experience in order to emphasize therapeutic
optimism rather than pessimism, and to inform treatment contexts
and the views of nursing staff.

▼ Dit onderzoek is gedaan in opdracht van Langdurige Zorg, GGZ Drenthe. Dit is een behandelsetting voor jongeren en volwassenen met ernstige psychische problemen, waaronder ook psychotische problematiek. De laatste decennia richt het onderzoek naar psychose zich onder andere op preventie en vroegdetectie. Naar aanleiding van deze ontwikkeling is er binnen GGZ Drenthe een vroegdetectie psychose-team opgericht. Zij houden zich bezig met het vroegtijdig screenen van nieuwe cliënten op een eventueel verhoogd risico om psychose te ontwikkelen, de zogenoemde UHR-status.
Aan het vroegdetectie-programma van GGZ Drenthe is ook wetenschappelijk onderzoek gekoppeld, namelijk On The ROAD. Binnen dit onderzoek worden mensen waarbij de UHR-status is vastgesteld, gevolgd. Zij vullen veertien vragenlijsten in en er worden interviews afgenomen. On The ROAD heeft ook een aantal follow-up metingen namelijk, na één, twee en drie jaar. Voor een goede interpretatie van de scores van de UHR-groep is het nodig om deze te kunnen vergelijken met een populatiesample. Daarom is er tijdens huidig onderzoek een populatiesample verzameld bestaande uit honderd-en-één mensen tussen de 18 en 35 jaar oud. Een eerste vergelijking tussen de UHR-groep en het populatiesample wordt gemaakt op basis van drie vragenlijsten, de DASS-21, LTE en IPPA. De vragenlijsten meten depressie, angst en stress, levensgebeurtenissen en verbondenheid met ouders en leeftijdsgenoten.
De resultaten lieten zien dat er een significant verschil is tussen de UHR-groep en het populatiesample op de volgende onderdelen: depressie, angst, stress, levensgebeurtenissen, vertrouwen in ouders, communicatie met vader en verbondenheid met leeftijdsgenoten. De UHR-groep scoorde hoger op depressie, angst, stress en levensgebeurtenissen. Daarnaast had de UHR-groep minder vertrouwen in beide ouders en minder goede communicatie met vader. De verbondenheid met leeftijdsgenoten is voor de UHR-groep ook lager dan voor het populatiesample. Deze factoren kunnen mogelijk als risicofactoren voor het ontwikkelen van een verhoogd risico op psychose worden beschouwd. Om dit met meer zekerheid vast te kunnen stellen, is het aan te raden om in vervolgonderzoek een longitudinale studie te doen.
Samenvatting ook in het Engels.

▼ Lack of eye contact is one of the key clinical
observations in schizophrenia. Sixteen schizophrenic patients and
sixteen control subjects participated in our study of eye gazing.
Frequencies of eye contact of both groups were measured in a
role-play test which is closer to a natural environment. Autistic
traits of both groups were measured using the Autism Quotient
Questionnaire. We hypothesized that patients’ frequencies of eye
contact were fewer than control subjects. We anticipated that
patient group would score high in AQ. Furthermore, we examined the
relationship between frequency of eye contact and cognitive
functioning and symptomatology. Lastly, the study also examined the
relationship between frequency of eye contact and autistic traits.
Result showed that patients’ eye contact were significantly fewer
than control group. Patients’ overall cognitive functioning was not
as good as control group. In addition, schizophrenic patients
scored significantly higher than control group in the Autism
Quotient Questionnaire; autistic traits were found in schizophrenia
patients. There was no relationship between frequency of eye
contact and cognitive functioning. Nonetheless, negative
correlation was found between frequency of eye contact and Digital
symbol. More eye contact was associated with lower Digital symbol
score. No relationship was found between frequency of eye contact
and Autism quotient. Lastly, a trend correlation was found between
frequency of eye contact and PANSS negative score; more eye contact
was associated with higher PANSS negative score.

▼ Given the costs and benefits associated with
antipsychotic medication, the clinical decision to continue or
discontinue antipsychotics treatment is very important, especially
for patients remitted from their first episode psychosis for a
period of time. To date, no universal guidelines have been proposed
to address this issue as the solid empirical data are limited.
Existing short-term evidence seems to suggest that patients who
discontinued their antipsychotics experienced higher relapse rates.
However, data on the long-term outcomes are lacking. The present
study aimed to compare remitted first-episode psychosis patients
who had discontinued their antipsychotic medications and those who
continued to take antipsychotic medication in the early stage of
their illness in terms of their long-term clinical and functional
outcomes at 9 years.
This study attempted to follow up 178
first-episode psychosis patients who participated in an earlier
randomized controlled trial. In the original trial, patients were
randomized into either a medication maintenance group or a
medication discontinuation group for 12 months after having
achieved full symptomatic remission for at least 1 year. In this
study, subjects were interviewed at 9 years to assess their
clinical profiles, functioning profiles, medication compliance, and
subjective quality of life.
Interviews were undertaken with 142
patients (79.8% of the original cohort). No significant differences
were found between the medication maintenance group and the
discontinuation group in terms of all domains of outcomes,
including symptomatic remission, functional remission, recovery,
relapse, hospitalization, functioning measures, subjective quality
of life, medication compliance and medication intake. Compared to
the discontinuation group, more patients in the medication
maintenance group fulfilled the criteria for symptomatic remission
(75.4% vs. 67.2% in the discontinuation group), functional
remission (36.1% vs. 24.1% in the discontinuation group), and
recovery (21.3% vs. 15.5% in the discontinuation group) at 9
years.
Similar long-term clinical and functional outcomes were
found between the medication maintenance and discontinuation
groups, which differs from the results of existing short-term
outcomes studies in which the discontinuation group had poorer
outcomes and higher relapse rates. Although not statistically
significant, the study found that remission (both symptomatic and
functional) and recovery rates in the maintenance group were higher
than those of the discontinuation group.
The present study is
one of the first studies to examine the long-term impact of
medication discontinuation in the early phase of schizophrenia. The
findings suggest that the long-term costs and outcomes are
independent to an earlier decision to stop medication in
first-episode psychosis. As the evidence that long-term outcomes
may differ from those in short-term studies on medication
discontinuation, more long-term studies are required to confirm our
current findings.

▼ Introduction: L'intérêt pour les premiers stades de
la psychose a augmenté au cours des dernières années, vu que cette
maladie apparaît pendant l'adolescence. Ensuite, de nombreuses
études ont révélé que l'identification et le traitement précoces
peuvent retarder la transition vers un trouble mental, et aussi
prévenir des effets néfastes sur le fonctionnement global. Afin
d'identifier ces individus, certains critères cliniques ont déjà
été développés, on sait ainsi que les enfants avec risque génétique
de psychose s'engagent tôt dans une trajectoire cognitive
déficiente. Même si les modèles de prédiction sont très
prometteurs, le nombre de faux positifs est élevé, ce qui nuit au
développement de traitements préventifs. L'objectif du premier
article était d'identifier deux profils neurocognitifs parmi les
descendants des parents avec psychose. Le deuxième article avait
comme objectif d'évaluer l'effet sur la transition d'interventions
non pharmacologiques, chez les individus à risque de psychose et
leur effet sur les comorbidités non psychotiques. Méthodologie: Une
analyse de cluster hiérarchique a été effectuée afin d'identifier
deux profils neurocognitifs. Ensuite, une analyse systématique et
méta-analyse d'essais contrôlés randomisés a été effectué pour
analyser les interventions non pharmacologiques publiées jusqu'à
cette date. Résultats: L'analyse de cluster a montré l‟existence de
deux sous-groupes de descendants à risque élevé, l'un d'entre eux
ayant montré une performance cognitive presque identique aux sujets
témoins, tandis que l'autre ayant eu des résultats pires que les
scores du groupe control. La méta-analyse a rapporté que les
thérapies non pharmacologiques étaient associées à un risque réduit
de transition vers la psychose. Conclusion: Les interventions non
pharmacologiques peuvent avoir du potentiel de traitement chez les
individus à risque de psychose. Toutefois on a besoin de plus
d‟études concentrés à réduire les taux de retrait. Notre étude
suggère que les interventions visant à renforcer l‟aspect
neurocognitif devraient être abordées plus tôt. D'autres recherches
de types longitudinales sont nécessaires
Introduction: Interest in the early stages of
psychosis has been increasing in the last years, mainly because it
appears mostly in adolescence. Also, numerous studies have reported
that early identification and treatment may not only delay the
transition to a frank mental disorder, but also prevent detrimental
effects on global functioning. In order to identify these
individuals, some clinical criteria have already been developed; it
is known for example that children at genetic risk of psychosis
engage early in a deficient cognitive trajectory. Even though
models of prediction are very promising, the number of false
positives is still high, which impairs the development of
preventive treatments. The objective of the first article was to
identify two neurocognitive profiles among offspring at genetic
risk of psychosis. The objective of the second article was to
assess, the effect of…

▼ This dissertation seeks to determine whether psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment for schizophrenic
psychoses. This study begins by exploring the historical construction of the term ‘schizophrenia’ and historical treatment approaches to schizophrenic
psychoses. The research uses a modified literature review and although it does not contain case material, it does at times refer to the author’s general experience within the area of mental health. The advantages and disadvantages of biological and psychosocial treatments both past and present, for schizophrenic
psychoses are discussed. The possible causation of schizophrenia is also investigated and recent research regarding this considered. Little research has been done in the areas of the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy with schizophrenia and psychosis, and all studies concerning this are controversial. However, a significant body of clinical literature has accrued from psychotherapists who have achieved success in working with clients diagnosed with schizophrenia/psychosis. Although the results and findings regarding the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy have often been inconsistent and inconclusive, some recent literature, anecdotal reports from psychotherapists and my own personal experience as a therapist all suggest that psychodynamic psychotherapy can play an effective part in working with psychosis, as a component of treatment with additional psychosocial and biological interventions, or as the sole mode of treatment, or as an adjunct to treatment with medication. In researching this dissertation topic, a key theme that emerged is the importance of multiple disciplines working together for the good of the client rather than believing there is only one way of treating this particular client group.

▼ Both films, Psycho and Peeping Tom as well contain similar elements which can lead us to identify similar features in both films, such as the importance of psychoanalyses in films, the unconscious and its desires, voyeurism and so on. We could also see that in many situations madness is caused by the repression of the unconscious. Thus, in both films, the protagonists deal with their repressed desires in different ways, one is aiming to be someone more powerful and authoritative, however it gets overwhelmed by it (Norman Bates) and the other is pursuing pleasure and happiness by filming the murder of women, which was the causatum of an obsessive father (Mark). Both protagonists are characterized with split personalities. From the outside, the viewers might think that they are very humble and incapable of evil deeds however their inside leads them into incomprehensible actions. Finally, we can conclude that the male madness is one of several representational modes of cinematographic genres, it reaches the most inner parts of the viewers and it reveals the hidden madness in each and one of us.
