J Affect Disord 60:53-9. 2000..This paper presents an idiographic approach to evaluate the self concept and the self-object-relationship of patients suffering from affective disorders...
Deliberate self-harm in female patients with affective disorders: investigation of personality structure and affect regulation by means of operationalized psychodynamic diagnosticsHeinz Boeker
Hospital for Affective Disorders and General Psychiatry Zurich East, Center for Affective and Anxiety Disorders, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
J Nerv Ment Dis 196:743-51. 2008..OPD has been shown to be a useful tool for empirical research into therapeutically relevant dimensions of personality...
[Automutilistic behaviour in female patients with affective disorders: investigation of personality structure and affect regulation by means of Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD)]Heinz Böker
Klinik für affektive Erkrankungen und Allgemeinpsychiatrie Zürich Ost, Psychiatrische Universitätsklinik Zürich
Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol 57:319-27. 2007..Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics can reveal therapeutically relevant personality dimensions for empirical research...
[Neurotoxicity related to lithium-risperidon combination treatment in a patient with schizoaffective disorder]Heinz Böker
Psychiatrische Universitätsklinik Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland
Psychiatr Prax 34:38-41. 2007..The case of a schizoaffective patient with a neurotoxic encephalopathy related to lithium-risperidon combination treatment is explored...
Executive dysfunction, self, and ego pathology in schizophrenia: an exploratory study of neuropsychology and personalityHeinz Boeker
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, CH 8032 Zurich, Switzerland
Compr Psychiatry 47:7-19. 2006..It can therefore be concluded that ego pathology must be distinguished from positive and negative symptoms in both underlying neuropsychological dysfunction and predisposing changes in personality...
[Reconstruction of mutism. Studies of subjective experiences of former patients with the modified Landfield categories]H Böker
Psychiatrische Universitätsklinik Zürich
Psychiatr Prax 27:389-96. 2000..The subjective experience of catatonic patients was investigated with the repertory grid-technique after recovery from the acute state of disease and compared with non-catatonic schizoaffective and depressive patients...
Altered negative BOLD responses in the default-mode network during emotion processing in depressed subjectsSimone Grimm
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Neuropsychopharmacology 34:932-843. 2009..In sum, our findings demonstrate that default-mode network NBRs are reduced in MDD and modulate these patients' abnormally negative emotions...
Affective judgment and beneficial decision making: ventromedial prefrontal activity correlates with performance in the Iowa Gambling TaskGeorg Northoff
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Hum Brain Mapp 27:572-87. 2006..These findings suggest that the degree to which subjects recruit the VMPFC during affective judgment is related to beneficial performance in decision making in gambling...
Increased self-focus in major depressive disorder is related to neural abnormalities in subcortical-cortical midline structuresSimone Grimm
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Hum Brain Mapp 30:2617-27. 2009..In conclusion, we present first evidence that the abnormally increased negative self-attribution as hallmark of the increased self-focus in MDD might be mediated by altered neural activity in subcortical-cortical midline structures...

Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Biol Psychiatry 63:369-76. 2008....
Reduced negative BOLD responses in the default-mode network and increased self-focus in depressionSimone Grimm
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
World J Biol Psychiatry 12:627-37. 2011..Functional imaging studies in major depressive disorder (MDD) indicate abnormal resting state neural activity and negative blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses (NBRs) in regions of the default-mode network (DMN)...
Segregated neural representation of distinct emotion dimensions in the prefrontal cortex-an fMRI studySimone Grimm
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Neuroimage 30:325-40. 2006..In conclusion, our results indicate segregated neural representation of the different emotion dimensions in different prefrontal cortical regions...
