  1. Artikel ; Online: Effect of the Management of LGBTT+ Identity on Psychological Wellbeing.

    Abstract The current study, guided by the Minority Stress Model (Meyer, 2003), seeks to examine the effect of sexual orientation or gender identity management (disclosure or concealment) in the relationship between internalized negative ideals (internalized homonegativity and internalized transnegativity) and psychological wellbeing in LGBTT+ people in Puerto Rico. Four instruments were translated from English to Spanish, two of them relating to the management of the minority identity, and two regarding the internalized negative ideals. Additionally, reliability measures were calculated for each instrument. The sample consisted of 203 participants, 165 identified as cisgendered, and 38 identified themselves as trans or another gender. Results suggested that internalized negative ideals predicted the minority identity management in LGBTT+ people. However, the relationship between the internalized negative ideals and psychological wellbeing was only confirmed in terms of sexual orientation and not of gender identity, which suggests that other factors may better explain wellbeing in trans people. A discussion is presented on these results' implications and the study's challenges and limitations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and suggestions for further studies.

    Abstract Purpose: The aims of this study were to develop a descriptive profile of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) in Puerto Rico who have been evaluated using an epilepsy monitoring unit. The other aim was to establish comparisons between the clinical manifestation of PNES and events of generalized epilepsy (GE).
    Method: A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the information of patients who passed through the Epilepsy Unit in Caguas, Puerto Rico. In the first phase, sociodemographic information of 100 patients with PNES was collected. In the second phase, a sample of 51 cases was obtained; 37 cases with a final diagnosis of PNES and 14 cases with the diagnosis of GE. Observations were made with the objective of viewing and comparing the semiology and clinical manifestation presented through video encephalograms (vEEG) in both subsamples.
    Results: Patients with PNES and epilepsy demonstrated different semiological patterns. Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures is predominant in females (95%). Most patients with epilepsy presented a relatively short seizure (<2 min) compared with patients with PNES (79% vs. 46%). Patients with epilepsy showed a slow return to their baseline manifestation (100% vs. 11%). Specifically, having their eyes closed, extreme asynchronous limb movements, and rigidity were statistically significant.
    Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that the semiology of patients with PNES is different from those displaying an epileptic seizure. This study supports the idea that the semiology of Latino patients with PNES is similar to the characteristics reported in other countries.

    Abstract This study aimed to examine the difference in therapy satisfaction between lesbian, gay, and bisexual + (LGB +) individuals and heterosexual individuals, and to identify the association between therapy satisfaction and the perception of knowledge and attitudes of their last therapist among the LGB + participants. Through an exploratory design with a comparative group, 125 LGB + and 75 heterosexual participants were recruited online by availability. Results indicate that the participants' sexual orientation has no significant relation on therapy satisfaction. However, there was a significant positive association between satisfaction with therapy and the LGB + participants' perception that their therapist demonstrated knowledge and positive attitudes. This research highlights the importance for continuous education and curriculum efforts on LGB + issues.

    Abstract Countries worldwide are making wide-ranging attempts to stymie the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and most of their efforts depend on the financial, structural, and social resources available. Given the increase in documented cases of COVID-19 in Puerto Rico, the extension of an aggressive and restrictive quarantine has been the correct step to slow down the potential contagion. Nevertheless, in this article, we discuss additional concrete actions that should be considered. This unprecedented scenario provides us the opportunity to rethink our limited resources based on a socioecological perspective, with the aim of creating efficiency and reducing the inequities that could accompany the pandemic.

    Abstract Latinos comprised 17.1% of the U.S. population and 33.1% of US prisoners, yet they are underrepresented in the psychopathology literature. Despite higher rates of trauma among incarcerated individuals than in the general population, most of the previous research in this area focused primarily on women samples, and very few studies examined sex differences in PTSD and traumatic experiences. In addition, there is a need for research assessing traumatic experiences and probable PTSD in men and women Latino inmates to inform culturally competent care and sex sensitive care for this vulnerable and underserved population. Our study examined whether men and women Latino inmates with probable Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), based on the cut off 40 or more symptoms on the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS), differed significantly by the number of event types experienced, the type of potentially traumatizing event, and in co-occurring psychiatric conditions. A multi-stage sample design was used to select a probabilistic sample of 1,331 inmates from 26 penal institutions in PR of which 1179 participated in the study. Bivariate associations were calculated for each type of traumatic event and probable PTSD. Mean number of types of potentially traumatizing event experienced was comparable for both sexes (F = 3.83, M = 3.74) yet sex differences were found in the nature of the event. Women with probable PTSD had higher rates of experiencing rape and sexual abuse. Men had higher rates of experiencing combat in war, a life-threatening accident, of witnessing violence, and being threatened with a weapon. Men with significant ADHD symptoms in childhood and with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) during adulthood were almost 5 and 7 times as likely to score above threshold on the DTS whereas women were >3 times as likely in the presence of ADHD symptoms in childhood or depression during adulthood. This study underscores the need to improve understanding of the clinical manifestations of trauma and co-occurring psychiatric conditions for appropriate sex sensitive interventions targeting Latinos living in prisons.

    Abstract In this preliminary clinical investigation, hypnosis was used in the differential diagnosis of epileptic versus psychogenic seizures (PS). Eight patients with a clinical profile suggesting the presence of PS were given a hypnotic suggestion in which they had to go back in time to the exact moment of their last seizure. They were then asked to concentrate their attention on any unusual feeling or bodily sensation. All 8 patients presented a PS during the age regression protocol. In 6 cases, independent testimony from family members corroborated the morphological similarity of the induced attack and the ones presented in their natural environment. Also, the seizures ended abruptly after a command was given to stop them. A control group of 5 epileptic subjects did not present any signs of discomfort or seizure behavior during the hypnotic protocol. It is argued that a simple procedure as the one described in this investigation can be useful as a diagnostic tool in the differentiation of epileptic from PS attacks.

    Abstract Depersonalization experiences have been studied in the United States and Europe, but there is a dearth of investigations with Latino populations. In the current study we examined the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS) in 300 adult individuals from the community and compared the results with those reported previously with non-Latino clinical populations. Discrepant findings have been reported with respect to the factor structure of the CDS. We performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on the CDS items and compared our results with published analyses on other populations. Results revealed that the psychometric properties of the CDS, such as reliability, seem adequate, although the factor structure of the CDS seems to be inconsistent across studies. We selected a 4-factor solution that was most parsimonious and best fit our data. Furthermore, we obtained a moderate, statistically significant relationship (r = .64, p = .001) between the CDS and the Dissociative Experiences Scale. Our results, utilizing a nonclinical sample of Puerto Rican adults, suggest that depersonalization experiences can be reliably measured in a Latino and Spanish-speaking population.
