“…At the present time, there is a growing popularity of mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic methods in the West (Panayiotou, Karekla, & Panayiotou, 2014;Prouvost, Calamari, & Woodard, 2016;Stein, 2015;Dijkerman, 2015;Edgar, Kitzinger, & Kitzinger, 2015;Touskova T., & Bob P, 2015). Mindfulness is defined as a non-judgmental attention focusing on the present moment with full concentration on it and registration of the various aspects of reality without trying to analyse and interprete them (Bishop, 2004;Brown, 2003;Kabat-Zinn, 1982).…”

The Proceedings cover different aspects of mental health research concerned with human life resource and life potential, as well as applied aspects of health psychology.The editorial policy was based on the principles of selection and reviewing of all submitted manuscripts. At the first stage all the manuscripts underwent an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board before peer-review in order to assess whether their content complied with the Conference theme. The manuscripts which did not comply with the subject matter of the Conference have been rejected. At the second stage all the manuscripts underwent a double blind review process: each work was reviewed by two experts from the Board of Reviewers; reviewing procedure was anonymous both for the experts and authors.In case of positive review results provided by both experts the contributions were included in the Editor-in-Chief Portfolio. At the third stage manuscripts underwent scientific style as well as language literacy assessment and language editing. This work was carried out by the team of Language Editors. Based on the results of the three stages of reviewing the list of the manuscripts recommended for the publication in the Conference Proceedings has been defined.The problem of assessment, prophylaxis and preserving human psychological health is of utmost importance today. Its relevance is determined, first, by the fact that both a person and his / her development as a healthy and autonomous personality represent a subject of a psychological research. Second, recent global transformations impose special requirements to the person seeking for health preservation, self-development, and self-actualisation. Among these requirements there is readiness to act in new, unpredictable conditions, to make decisions in unstable situations and to bear responsibility for one's decisions. To meet these requirements, a person should be able to see opportunities for self-development and self-fulfillment in the surrounding world, finding new meanings of his / her life activity.Existence of life resource and life potential expands the scope of any person's activities, turning the person's significant life purposes into more achievable ones. Resources are known to subjectively increase the value of a person both in his / her self-perception and in the eyes of others, making the person stronger, more prominent and proactive.Among various human resources health is a fundamental one. At the same time, life potential is not a less important characteristic, since it ensures human capacity to create, develop and use life conditions, factors and circumstances which are beneficial for an organism.Considering human health through the prism of life potential, it is necessary that the value of health within culture of its formation should be the highest, being defined not so much by the need for self-preservation but for self-improvement.The presented Proceedings are the result of both scientific studies in Psychology and fruitful and prospective long-term inte...

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Older Adults: A Comprehensive Literature Review

We reviewed English-language articles concerning obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in older adults. PubMed was searched using key words that included obsessive-compulsive disorder, geriatric, elderly, aging, and older. Of the 644 articles identified, we included 78 that were relevant to the topic. Articles that were excluded as irrelevant included studies that were not focused on OCD in older adults, animal studies, and older case reports if we identified similar more recent case reports. The literature contains very little information about the epidemiology, diagnosis, psychopathology, and treatment of OCD in older adults. Even though the diagnostic criteria for OCD are the same for older and younger adults, different manifestations and progression in older patients have been reported. While the domains and severity of symptoms of OCD do not change with age, pathologic doubt may worsen. The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is used for diagnosing and evaluating illness severity, and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised is another valuable tool for use in older adults. Psychotherapy, specifically exposure and response prevention, is the first-line treatment for OCD because of minimal adverse effects and reported benefit. Although the US Food and Drug Administration has not approved any medications specifically for OCD in older adults, pharmacotherapy is a consideration if psychotherapy is not successful. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have the fewest side effects, while the cardiovascular and anticholinergic side effects of tricyclic antidepressants are especially worrisome in older adults. OCD in older adults has received little attention, and further studies are needed.
