As for the relationship between these variables and scales according to gender norms, manifested greater emotional control (Scale 2), show better self-perceived health and less go to the doctor, the more score on the scale of violence (Scale 4 ), consume less drugs and more alcohol consumed, the more score in dominance (level 6), go to the doctor less and have more satisfaction at work, the more score in playboy (Scale 7), the more alcohol consumed, the more score in disdain of homosexuality (Scale 10), suffer less ailments. Positive relationships between risk taking (escala3) and doctor visits can perhaps be explained precisely by the increased likelihood of accidents if they take more risks. And relations between the higher value of status (Scale 11) and lower job satisfaction will be explained, perhaps because the type of work exercised by these men nurses hospital, which probably are not too many possibilities to increase their prestige social, which may also take him to greater consumption of alcohol. For women, higher scores on the scale of thinness (Scale 2) but are related to a mental health and worse tobacco consumption, both features consistent with a pattern of female health, the highest scores on the scale children (Scale 5) are associated with worse perceived health and lower alcohol consumption, the greater conformity with the importance of romantic relationships (Scale 6) are related to mental health but paradoxically regard to female pattern of health with increased consumption of alcohol. Alcohol consumption is problematic because it is also associated with higher image score (scale 8) and modesty (level 3) the latter is also associated with greater sleep problems, which also fits the pattern of female health.

disabilities. The study included 83 men and 96 women, who were parents of children with
severe spina bifida, cerebral palsy, cleft lip and cleft palate. The Millon Index of Personality Styles
was used to identify the most distinctive personality styles of parents caring for a child with a
chronic disability and parental psychological adjustment. We also investigated if personality profiles
differ by gender, and educational and socioeconomic level. The personality styles identified
may serve as indicators of the way parents adapt to the child with a congenital disability. The results
also suggest that a child’s disability has a differential impact on men and women. Gender issues
are evaluated, as well as any repercussions these may have on women.

The authors of the present work have based their research on Millon's personality model (1994); and in that of conformity with Mahalik's gender roles , which proposes to use the concept of gender norm to operationalize sexual roles . In total, 328 college students from Spain (164 men and 164 women) completed the Millon Index of Personality Styles, and the men also completed the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory. Significant sex differences in personality and the Clinical Index emerged. However, the number and magnitude differed as a function of men's conformity to masculine norms to the extent that, in the case of the lower conformity group, the differences between men and women decreased. Similarly, personality roles associated with conforming to masculine gender roles indicate that social gender learning has an important role in determining personality styles.

En la presente investigación se ofrece un estudio en una muestra muy específica de personas afectadas por un importante trauma psicológico, las madres de niños afectados por una discapacidad de origen congénito como es la espina bífida, en su afectación más grave, el mielomeningocele. En su conjunto, los resultados obtenidos muestran la existencia de estilos psicológicos preferentes directamente relacionados con la vivencia de la discapacidad y permiten analizar las diferencias encontradas en función del sexo, diferencias que sugieren un impacto diferencial de la discapacidad de un hijo en el hombre y en la mujer, y permiten valorar las consecuencias que ello conlleva para las mujeres. Palabras clave: Estrés postraumático; espina bífida; mielomeningocele; discapacidad; psicotraumatología; cronificación; diferencias de sexo; familia.

However, we should not mix up Psycomotricity with physiology, neither with movement: Psycomotricity is a discipline that assumes that all human activity is essentially psychomotive. A child emerges as a project already thought of in parenteral anticipations. Pain and excessive suffering once one gets the diagnosis interfere with the adecuate tie construction. The first task parents have is to solve the discrepancy between and idealized image of an idealized child and the read child. Starting from all this, one should recognize the baby's identity and autonomy from early age, one should consider a child as a subject of action and not as a child of reaction, by doing this we accept that a baby already utilizes his own activity

Este estudio pretende dar cuenta de algunos de estos aspectos en una muestra de 36 padres y madres de un niño con un diagnóstico de fisura labio velo palatina. Las estrategias de afrontamiento en estos padres y sus estilos de personalidad, permiten describir modos de respuesta estables de los sujetos, que pueden resultar excelentes indicadores del modo en que los padres afrontan esta nueva realidad, y de sus efectos a medio y largo plazo. Palabras clave: Fisura labio palatina; afrontamiento; personalidad; adaptación psicológica; padres; discapacidad.

Para ello se utiliza el Inventario de Estilos de Personalidad de Millon (MIPS) (Millon, 1994), junto con medidas referidas a la situación de violencia sufrida, estresores adicionales y apoyo social. Los resultados indicaron que el nivel de síntomas evaluados muestra correlaciones significativas con las escalas del MIPS, una vez controlado el efecto de las variables contextuales y de la situación de maltrato, comprobando su influencia en el impacto psicológico de la experiencia de maltrato. Se analizan asimismo aquellas escalas del MIPS asociadas a un mayor y menor nivel de sintomatología depresiva. Palabras clave: Violencia de género; mujeres maltratadas; personalidad ; depresión.
