Recent contributions in the psychiatric literature discuss the role of negotiation styles in psychiatric practice (see, for instance, Chaplin et al., 2007). Aims In this contribution, we explore further how negotiation theory can be useful to mental health professionals when trying to establish a therapeutic alliance with patients. Methods After providing an introduction to negotiation theory we examine how the integrative negotiation approach can be applied. Specifically we will consider the steps suggested in the seminal contribution by Fisher and Ury (1981) and discuss potentialities and possible shortcomings when applying this approach to psychotherapy. Results Although applying business negotiation techniques seems, at first sight, a bold step, the approach proposed by Fisher and Ury (1981), being based on "negotiating on principles instead of positions", offers some interesting suggestions that may expand the relation tools mental health professionals need to use in their practice. Conclusion Applying business and law negotiation techniques to psychiatric practices presents challenges but, at the same time, may offer new approaches when dealing with patients. In particular some concepts seem to be directly applicable to the psychiatric and psychotherapeutic practice.

It is the shortest in the field with 197 questions and language level of. The language level of the third grade of elementary school. That is for the Greek as well as the English version. The PBI provides clinical diagnoses, screening, and treatment planning for psychopathology, it also covers all the constructs most relevant to a broad-based assessment of mental disorders. The validity of the PBI is established on the basis of results from data from three samples; a normative census-matched sample from 1478 community based adults who were matched on the basis of race, gender, and age; a sample consisting of 1472 psychiatric and psychological patients (inpatients and outpatients), a sample from 982 forensic participants, who have been accused and convicted for a variety of crimes and finally a sample of 121 correctional and public safety employees. According to the reliability scores, the PBI scales reflect a greater level of internal consistency. At the present study, we will present the characteristics of the PBI, its usages on the clinical, occupational and forensic setting as a description of its psychometric properties and its advantages over the other MMPI-II and PAI.

In a document dated June 16th 2017, the United States Department of Justice stated that Domestic Violence (DV) has a significant impact not only on those abused, but also on family members, friends, and on the people within the social networks of both the abuser and the victim. In this sense, children who witness DV while growing up can be severely emotionally damaged.
The European Commission (DG Justice) remarked in the Daphne III Program that 1 in 4 women in EU member states have been impacted by DV, and that the impact of DV on victims includes many critical consequences: lack of self-esteem, feeling shame and guilt, difficulties in expressing negative feelings, hopelessness and helplessness, which, in turn, lead to difficulties in using good coping strategies, self-management, and mutual support networks.
In 2015 the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights affirmed that violence against women can be considered as a violation of human rights and dignity. Violence against women exists in each society and it can be related to any social, economic and cultural status and impact at the economic level. It includes physical, sexual, economical, religious and psychological abuse. Recent studies have shown that between 13% and 61% of women (15–49 years old) report to have been physically abused at least once by an intimate partner. Domestic Violence takes place across different age groups, genders, sexual orientations, economic or cultural statuses. However, DV remains largely under-reported due to fear of reprisal by the perpetrator, hope that DV will stop, shame, loss of social prestige due to negative media coverage: 90% of cases of DV continue to be identified as a non-denounced violence.
The aim of this Research Topic is to gather updated scientific and multidisciplinary contributions about issues linked to domestic violence, including intimate partner violence. We encourage contributions from a variety of areas including original qualitative and quantitative articles, reviews, meta-analyses, theories and clinical case studies on biological, psycho-social and cultural correlates, risk and protective factors, and the associated factors related to the etiology, assessment, and treatment of both victims and perpetrators of DV. We hope that this Research Topic can stimulate an informed scientific debate on Domestic Violence, in relation to its psychosocial impact (in and outside home, in school and workplace), to DV prevention and intervention strategies (within the family and in society at large), in addition to specific types of DV, and to controversial issues in this field as well.
