Research Team

Thomas Hyphantis is a General Adult Psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatry in the Medical School of the University of Ioannina, Greece. He served as Director of the Social Medicine and Mental Health, Sector of the Division of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, Greece.

He is trained in family systems therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. He has contributed to the development of Community Psychiatry in Greece including the development of units which provide mental health care in remote rural areas (Mobile Mental Health Units). He has established the first independent psychodynamically oriented Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Unit in Greece within the University Hospital of Ioannina.

His research focuses on the complex relations of personality traits, ego defense mechanisms, psychological distress/depression, and quality of life in patients with medical illnesses and he has published more than 110 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. He has focused on rheumatologic disorders, cancer, IBD, irritable bowel syndrome, COPD and diabetes and confirmed the high incidence of psychiatric comorbidity in Greek patients with long-term medical conditions and its relationship with disability, health-related quality of life, poor compliance with and adherence to treatment, treatment decision making preferences or other ill-prone behaviours. He has also highlightened the role of the underlying psychological defensive and coping profile in the formation of a number of outcomes of the disease, and he has established the usually underestimated but crucial role of the somatization process in the formation of health outcomes in cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma, COPD and rheumatologic disorders. His research led also to the publication of the standardization of three instruments assessing personality traits for use within the Greek population (Bond’s Defense Style Questionnaire - DSQ-88, Plutchik’s Life Style Index -LSI, and Zuckerman-Khulman Personality Questionnaire -ZKPQ), one instrument assessing depression in Greek medical patients (Patient Health Questionnaire 9) and one instrument assessing somatic symptom severity (PHQ-15).

He is the President of the Consultation-Liaison Sector of the Hellenic Psychiatric Association, Member of the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM) and the European Association for Somatization and Medically Unexplained Symptoms (EURASMUS). He coordinated/participated in EU/national projects as principal investigator and he has served as an evaluation expert for organizations such as the Dutch Cancer Society and the Cyprus Society for the Promotion of Research. He is an Advisory Board Member of the Journal of Psychosomatic Research and a Member of the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of Quality of Life Research and Well-Being, the World Journal of Gastroenterology and the Journal of Psychology and Clinical Psychiatry.
