According to the statistics, there is an increased number of pregnant women taking psychotropic medication. For each clinical decision, or change in therapy that affect women of reproductive age, one has to consider the available information on the reproductive safety of psychiatric drugs. Due to ethical considerations, there are no randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, hence no unequivocal evidence addressing this topic. When used during pregnancy, there might be potential adverse effects of psychotropic drugs in regards to the following: teratogenicity, pregnancy outcome, obstetrical complications, neonatal toxicity and withdrawal syndrome, breastfeeding, and the offspring's long-term intellectual, behavioral, emotional development. After studying the specialized literature, this paper aims to help colleagues to make the best clinical recommendations for psychiatric patients who are either pregnant, or planning to become pregnant.

Among behavioural addictions, addiction towards social media sites are identified, which are subtypes of compulsive internet usage. Among these, the most significant is the so-called Facebook addiction. Scientific experts agree, that this new phenomenon hasn’t been known in detail yet, so it needs intensified scientific exploration. Different aspects of the personality are inclined to raise the probability of developing Facebook addiction. Neurotic and narcissistic traits of the personality are modifying the characteristic of Facebook use, and by this tendency, risk the individual for developing addiction. Our study aimed at measuring Facebook addiction properly, moreover to identifiy the maladaptive characteristics of Facebook use which are salient in the addiction. Our sample consisted of 117 secondary school students. To measure Facebook addiction we used the Hungarian translated version of the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. To examine the special neurotic and narcissistic signs of Facebook usage we have developed our own questionniare. We measured neurotic personality traits with the MMPI „Psychasthenia” scale and we measured narcissism with the NPI-16. According to our results, narcissism and neurotic personality traits influence the use of Facebook and the maladaptive usage mediates the addiction.

I deal with children struggling with emotional and behavioral disorders, applying my own method, the Integrative Play Diagnostics and Play Therapy (IJDP – English: IPDT) while also cooperating with parents. During my Play Therapy work, I have worked with a mother who turned to me because of her child’s behavioral problems. In the examination phase of our session, I have asked both mother and child to draw several pictures. From these drawings, I analyzed the human figure, mother-child, and bird nest themes, with a focus on behavior in order to understand their motives and dynamics of the spiritual processes, and to be able to plan the therapy and organize consultations with the parents. I analyzed the drawings using the Zoltán Vass method, called Seven-Step Configuration Analysis Method (SSCA) The complex pattern analysis discovered and revealed the coherence among each of the different fields and their essence. This in turn helped to understand the behavior of the subjects, and the main pathological elements of their relationship. The mother’s drawings showed her as being reserved and passive, demonstrating a joyless behavior, also moderation, remorse, and unavailability. Meanwhile, the child’s drawings showed expansion, impatience and heightened dynamics. Moreover, in the case of the child, the analysis also found hidden anxiety, stress and depression behind the aggressive, destructive facade of his behavior. His drawings also offer meaningful insights into his struggles. The analysis provides a good base for therapy. My case study thoroughly examines the steps and patterns that enabled the exploration of complex patterns of interdependencies.

Our goals: To review our collection of cases where solid foreign bodies have been inflicted to the urethra to the point where surgical help was needed for extraction. In our work we have assessed the possible options of extraction and management of consequential problems, also we have discussed the possible psychological explanations in these cases. Case presentations: We have encountered 24 (19 male and 5 female) cases at the Dept. of Urology of Semmelweis University between 1996 and 2016 where such incidents have happened. Patient’s age ranged from 17 to 68 (42.5y in average). In 16 cases the patient presented him-, or herself short (within days) after infix (with foreign body usually in the urethra), 6 patient came in delayed (weeks after), all with an encrusted foreign body in the bladder. Main symptoms were those of acute cystitis, including urinary frequency, dysuria, haematuria and pelvic pain. We have performed extraction in all of these cases – transurethraly (in 19 cases) or trough laparotomy (5 cases). Since the patients did not show signs of major psychotic problems, psychological evaluation was not needed at the ward. However they were all asked to participate in a psychological examination in a later time. Conclusion: In cases like the ones presented below, latent psychological issues led to threatening urological problems which needed operative solution. Having declared this connection it is obvious that the treatment and the secunder prevention has to involve urological and psychological intervention and control too.
