Il gruppo psicoterapeutico per adolescenti con DCA
Negli ultimi anni la ricerca e la clinica nell’ambito della psicoterapia dell’adolescenza hanno mostrato l’efficacia del dispositivo gruppale quale contesto di cura capace di sostenere le problematiche legate ad un difficile processo di individuazione e al superamento dei compiti evolutivi. Il lavoro che presentiamo riguarda la realizzazione di un gruppo gruppo-analitico a tempo determinato per adolescenti (pazienti con DCA). Obiettivo del nostro studio è mettere in evidenza, attraverso l’esemplificazione fornita dall’esperienza clinica, le specificità che caratterizzano il setting gruppale quando esso si rivolge a questa popolazione. Il gruppo è per l’adolescente un luogo familiare nel qua…
The group supervision: From institutional analysis to clinical discussion
Group Supervision: topics, process and outcome Di Falco G., Ferraro A M., Pruiti Ciarello F , Giunta S., Giannone F., Di Blasi M., Lo Verso G. Clinical supervision has been defined as a 'dynamic, interpersonally-focused experience which promotes the development of therapeutic efficiency (...) consequently supervision must be acknowledged as a cornerstone of clinical practice' (Community Psychiatric Nurses Association, 1989). The study analyzes topics, process and outcome of a Leader-Led Peer Group Supervision, inside a TC for psychiatric patients. The research project aims to recognize the main topics of group supervision, in order to analyze its process. The main hypothesis is that supervi…
Online gaming and prolonged self-isolation: evidence from Italian gamers during the COVID-19 outbreak
Objective: The self-isolation measures employed during the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for basic needs to be met, thus increasing emotional distress. It has been suggested that socially meaningful online gaming buffered emotional distress during the lockdown. This study aimed to test the protective effect of online gaming during the lockdown and to investigate the differences between highly involved gamers (those who play videogames intensely without adverse consequences) and problematic gamers in this regard. Method: Capitalizing on a data collection that started before the pandemic, we adopted a cross-sectional between-groups study design in which gaming patterns, gaming-related v…
The value of diagnostic ultrasound for detecting occult inguinal hernia in patients with groin pain
Aims: chronic groin pain caused by an occult hernia can be a difficult clinical diagnosis and may require additional investiga- tive modalities. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing occult hernia in patients with recurrent inguinal pain and a negative clinical examination. Patients and methods: over a period of three years, a total of 76 patients were referred for ultrasound examination with clini- cally suspected occult inguinal hernia. Patients with positive US scans were offered surgery, while those with negative US findings were offered further imaging or other diagnostic tests. The ultrasound examination of the inguinal region was conducted …
Peracetylated β‐cyclodextrin as solubilizer of arylphosphines in supercritical carbon dioxide
Abstract Effect of peracetylated β-cyclodextrin on the solubility of diphenyl(4-phenylphenyl)phosphine in supercritical carbon dioxide medium has been investigated. As shown by gravimetric measurements, the presence of cyclodextrin (CD) (1 equivalent) allows to increase the solubility of phosphine (P) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) (40 °C, 35.2 MPa, nominal system density 0.89 g/mL). This solubility enhancement was attributed to host–guest interactions in scCO 2 as the P was recovered in the form of an inclusion complex. Furthermore, a diffuse reflectance spectroscopy study on the samples recovered after the experiments and on various CD/P solid mixtures obtained by co-grinding i…
