IntroductionIt is widely known comorbid Bulimia Nervosa (BN) with Borderline personality disorders (BPD). This is associated with worse prognosis and resistance to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments. In integrated treatment, both disorders are addressed, not being frequent psychotherapy groups that address only the personality traits. Some studies have proposed the brain basis of psychodrama intervention in both pathologies.ObjectivesTo highlight the clinical effectiveness of adding a nonverbal orientation (psychodrama) to the treatment of BN patients; to specifically address personality traits, by presenting a clinical case. We rely on studies.MethodsClinical case: 42-year-old woman patient with BN (DSM-5) severe degree, BITE: Symptoms scale = 28; S. Severity = 13; and BPD (7 DSM-V); MCMI-III: BPD = 115 She is incorporated into a day hospital with integrated and multidisciplinary approach: psychotropic drugs, individual, group and family psychotherapy. This patient is added to an open psychodrama group; where he works exclusively personality pathology, during one year.ResultsImprovement was observed in BN (she switched to intermediate grade); BITE: Symptom scale = 23, S. Severity = 8; also improves BPD criteria of DSM-V = 4 (minimum = 5) MCMI-III: BPD = 104.Conclusions(1) Psychodrama psychotherapy groups to treat Bulimia and BPD could provide an added clinical improvement in both pathologies.(2) Insufficient RCTs compared to other models of psychotherapy (mentalizing, interpersonal, dialectical behavior) do not allow to speak even scientific evidence of psychodrama.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
IntroductionPatient's outgroup socialization may be a problem in the psychotherapeutic group functioning. Disadvantages – and even benefits – of this common issue in psychotherapy have been described (Vinogradov S., Yalom I.). However, the impact of new social networks – that facilitate other ways of immediate and easy communication – on this phenomenon is still unknown.Aims and objectivesTo explore the risks of spontaneous “self-help groups” supported by new technologies for the psychotherapeutic group functioning.MethodCourse description of a psychotherapeutic group, composed by patients with eating disorders (bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder) in the context of a specialized hospital day.ResultsA patient – who has recently had a breakup – asked help to the group through a non-reported whatsapp chat. Gradually, patients used this new channel to express distress and daily interpersonal difficulties, showing less implication in the supervised group sessions. The patient presented a symptomatic relapse with self-harm injuries and severe eating symptoms. Finally, she left the therapy and, in the next weeks, other patients also left the group, due to different reasons, in a “drag phenomenon”. The analysis showed that the formation of this outgroup socialization changed the relationships between members and new roles were taken.ConclusionsIt is necessary to early address the formation of outgroup socialization in the pre-group interview, emphasizing its high risk for the future group functioning. Therapists should consider that out-group communication is common and easy due to new technologies, so the use of specific questionnaires about this issue may prevent or detect pathological events.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Introductioninhaled loxapine has shown efficiency in the treatment of the mild-moderate agitation syndrome of schyzophrenia and mania patients. Its rapid response and calming effect non-sedative allow to hypothesize reasonable efficiency and tolerability in borderline personality disorder diagnosed patients.aimsanalyze the efficiency and tolerability of inhaled loxapine as a pharmacological approach in the treatment of agitation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) clinical diagnosed patients.Materials and methodan application was administered for every agitation episode in BPD patients treated with inhaled loxapine in the emergency room or the psychiatric ward, which included B aRS and CGI-S scales for the evaluation of each episode and its severity, before and after its use. Other secondary measures of efficiency were taken into account, such as requirement of physical restrain.Resultsin the majority of evaluated episodes inhaled loxapine decreased notably initial B aRS and CGI-S values and no serious clinical side effects attributable to this medication were observed.Conclusionin our sample, inhaled loxapine was efficiency and well tolerated pharmacological intervention for agitation in BPD patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
