There is sparse information available in the literature regarding attachment styles and theory of mind functions with somatoform pain disorder. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate the relation between somatoform pain disorder and attachment styles, theory of mind functions and alexithymia. Thirty consecutive somatoform pain disorder patients and age, education level and gender ratio matched 30 controls enrolled for the study. SCID-I Structured Clinical Therapy Patient Form, Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), Toronto Alexithymia Scala (TAS-20) Reading Mind from the Eyes Turkish Form (Eyes Test) procedures were applied to the somatoform pain disorder patients that are investigated. According to results; scores of somatoform pain disorder patients with regards to AAS avoidant subscale score, Difficulty Describing Feelings subscale, Difficulty Identifying Feeling subscale, Externally-Oriented Thinking subscale, total Alexithymia Scale scores have been found significantly higher than that of controls (p<0.05, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001); Eyes Test scores, AAS close and depend subscale scores revealed significantly lower scores than that of control (p<0.001, p<0.05, p<0.05). Eyes Test scores are found to be significantly correlated with AAS avoidant subgroup scores and pain severity (p<0.05). Somatoform pain disorder patients revealed avoidant attachment and less secure and dependent characteristics more than the healthy controls. In this patients, avoidant attachment style is categorically more apparent. Their theory of mind functions have been affected significantly and this effect has been found to be correlated with avoidant attachment style and pain severity. These results indicate that developmental factors might be important in clinical manifestation of Somatoform pain disorder.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is an effective treatment option for treatment resistant depressive disorder. The presented case suggests that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation might be effective in inhibition of binge eating and purging behaviors. This case suggests that left dorsolateral prefrontal stimulation with high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could be a potential treatment option for bulimia nervosa comorbid with depressive disorder

For this purpose, a total of N = 94 participants, n = 45 girls and n = 49 males, who are in a high school 9th grade (N = 52) and 12th grade (N = 42) The Rosenberg Self-Respect Scale was applied. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the attitudes of the 9th grade students are not related to the self-esteem and depression characteristics, while the students who study at the 12th grade are related. According to these results, it is observed that as the ages of the gifted children increase, a significant relationship is developed especially in the opposite direction with respect to independence, perfectionist and variable attitudes, and depressive characteristics.

Participants consist of a total of 114 university students, including 102 women and 12 men in Istanbul. Sociodemographic data form, Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire, Liebowitz Social Anxiety Questionnaire and Separation Anxiety Questionnaire were applied to university students. Statistical analyzes of the data obtained from the study were conducted with the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS v21). In the intergroup comparisons, independent sample t test and one way ANOVA for normal dividing data; Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test were performed for normal non-dispersed data. Relations between scores obtained from the scales were calculated by Pearson correlation analysis. As a result of analysis, a significant difference was found between social anxieties and between avoidance scores according to mother education level and income level. Separation anxiety scores and adult separation anxiety scores were found significantly higher in those with general medical illness stories than those without general medical illness stories. There was a significant positive correlation between social anxiety and avoidance scores of university students and separation anxiety and adult separation anxiety scores. Social anxiety and avoidance behaviors can be a result of separation anxiety caused by traumatic experiences such as separation from mother or caregiver in childhood that prolonged in adulthood.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic and debilitating disorder characterized by inattentiveness and impulsiveness, the most commonly encountered symptoms of hyperactivity. Adults with ADHD can suffer performance loss and loss of employment. It has been determined that individuals with ADHD have difficulty driving. Hypothesis of the research was that “the airport workers with a history of workplace driving accident have higher level of symptoms of ADHD, compared to the workers without a history of workplace driving accidents”. A total of 138 accidents involving vehicles occurred between 2012 and 2014 at Havaş, where the research was conducted. The research participants were given a questionnaire (study group was 110 workers involved in an accident; control group was 111 workers, matched with the study group for sex and age, although they were not involved in an accident) comprising Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (AASRS) and Adult ADHD DSM-IV Based Diagnostic Screening and Rating Scale (A-ADHDS). Using these scales, the participants were evaluated with respect to their accident status, performance, attendance and demographics. Diagnosis of ADHD was encountered only one employee in study group. A-ADHDS Hyperactivity subscale score was found to be significantly higher in study group compared to control group. Scores of the other subscales of A-ADHDS and AASRS found to be similar in groups. These results suggest that although there found to be no significant differences in rates of ADHD diagnosis in workers with a history of driving accident and the control group; the former may have higher rates of hyperactivity symptoms. Informing the workers and the employers about the effects and consequences of ADHD symptoms in workplace, screening the symptoms of ADHD in those to be employed in critical areas requiring driving skills might decrease the risk of workplace accidents.
