The author discusses the lifelong impact of adolescence in shaping the adult psyche. Some patients may appear to be as influenced by conflicts of adolescence and the individual solutions arrived at during this period as they are by conflicts and solutions of the oedipal phase, the author maintains. The subphases of early, middle, and late adolescence are discussed both in terms of a review of the psychoanalytic literature and of representative works of literary fiction. Illustrative clinical vignettes are presented as well.

The Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale: Updated and extended construct validation in community samples using a newly constructed German version.
Psychol Assess
January 2025
Medical University of Graz, Department of Medical Psychology, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy.
The Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS) is a an economical, widely used self-report measure of vulnerable narcissism. Developed and mostly used as a unidimensional scale, previous structural examinations suggest two correlated dimensions, one emphasizing hypersensitive/neurotic aspects and the other highlighting egocentric/antagonistic aspects of vulnerable narcissism. The few extant factor analyses of the HSNS, however, differ profoundly in their methodological approach, the resulting item-to-factor assignment, and lack a thorough validation of the two putative subscales.

Background: There is mixed evidence on the impact of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on psychiatric hospital care for people with severe mental diseases, possibly due to regional differences. There is a significant gap in knowledge regarding the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in Croatia, a country in South-Eastern Europe. Our study aimed to evaluate the number and characteristics of psychiatric hospitalizations in the year before and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary hospital in south Croatia.

Introduction: This study investigated the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 outcomes among different mental health diagnoses and the role of sex in these associations.
Methods: Using electronic records from Catalonia, we identified adults receiving mental health care from 2017-2019 with diagnoses of non-affective psychosis (NAP), bipolar disorder (BD), depressive disorder (DEP), stress-related disorders, neurotic/somatoform disorders (NSD), and substance misuse (SUB) (exposed). The outcomes assessed were SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 hospitalization, and COVID-19-related death, compared to matched individuals without these mental disorders (unexposed).
Associations between adolescent psychiatric disorders and adulthood payment problems: a Norwegian register study of complete birth cohorts of 1995-1997.

Department of Social Work, Child Welfare, and Social Policy, OsloMet, Oslo Metropolitan University, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Psychiatric disorder diagnoses are linked to long-term socioeconomic 'shadows' into adulthood, but little is known about how these diagnoses are associated with adulthood payment problems in Norway and whether these associations are moderated by parental and area characteristics.
Methods: We combine Norwegian registry data with payment problem records from the public debt enforcement agency for the 1995-1997 birth cohorts (n=173 750). We ascertain behavioural, neurotic, mood and substance use disorder diagnoses from specialised care at ages 13-17.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed data from 2052 psychiatric hospitalizations in Finland in 2018 to understand factors influencing readmissions, looking at things like patient demographics, diagnoses, and treatment methods.
- - Findings revealed that 11% of patients were readmitted within 30 days, while 33% faced readmission within a year, with certain groups such as women and those with specific mental health diagnoses being more prone to readmission.
- - The research suggests the need for more tailored psychiatric care based on identified risk factors, especially for children and adolescents, while noting that treatment duration and ward overload did not significantly impact readmission rates.
