Neurodevelopmental Disorders (especially Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome).
Personality Disorders (especially Borderline Personality Disorder).
Addictive behaviours (especially Dual Pathology and Smoking).
Transcultural Psychiatry.
Interconsultation and Liaison Psychiatry.
Resistant Major Depressive Disorder.
