La CECA (Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse: Bifulco et al. 1994) è un’intervista retrospettiva semistrutturata, utilizzabile con soggetti giovani e adulti, che esplora le esperienze vissute con i genitori e con altre figure significative nell’infanzia e nell’adolescenza. L’intervista CECA permette di ottenere misurazioni affidabili e utili, in termini clinici e di ricerca, sui contesti di sviluppo, le cure affettive e materiali ricevute e le eventuali esperienze di maltrattamento e abuso.

Lo spettro impulsivo-compulsivo nell’addiction: una prospettiva in- tegrata sullo sviluppo delle dipendenze patologiche in adolescenza
The evaluation of alcohol use disorder is the important first stage of interven- tions and treatments. The S.A.I.D. is an auto-evaluation test built on the assumption that alcoho- lism is close connected to the other person’s life problems that may have contributed to rouse, exacerbate or maintain alcoholism.

In this study, the (a) association of the client- and therapist-rated strength of the real relationship to the outcome of brief psychotherapy, and (b) extent to which the real relationship predicted outcome above and beyond the predictive power of the working alliance were examined. A total of 50 clients at the counseling center of a university in Italy received brief therapy and completed measures before treatment, after the third session, and at the end of treatment. From the clients’ perspective, both the Genuineness element of the real relationship and the Bond scale of the working alliance were found to relate significantly to treatment outcome. When we examined the real relationship a…

USO CLINICO DELL ADULT ATTACHMENT INTERVIEW: UN APPROFONDIMENTO
This article aims at illustrating how the patients assessment and the process of psychotherapy can be significantly improved by the administration of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). The AAI questions evoke the memories of the interactions with the caregiving figures during childhood, thus providing an access to the patients states of mind regarding attachment; these childhood memories are crucial for the individuals approach to world and relationships, as they constitute the core of the Internal Working Models. Accordingly, the administration of the AAI can help the clinician and the patient in the development of the therapeutic alliance, also allowing an in-depth exploration of the p…
