Associations between perceived parental psychological control and internalizing difficulties in emerging adulthood: the role of identity
2016
Our study investigated the associations among two expressions of perceived parental psychological control (dependency-oriented parental control [DPC] and achievement-oriented parental control [APC]), identity, and internalizing difficulties among college-attending emerging adults. In particular, our aim was to examine the potential role of identity in the pathways linking both DPC and APC to internalizing difficulties. Our participants included 495 Italian college students (49% males), between 19 and 28 years of age (mean = 23.37 years, standard deviation = 2.35). Our findings highlighted the existence of associations between APC, identity, and internalizing difficulties. Specifically, APC…
An Immersive Motor Protocol for Frailty Rehabilitation
2019
Frailty is a pre-clinical condition that worsens physical health and quality of life. One of the most frequent symptoms of frailty is an increased risk of falling. In order to reduce this risk, we propose an innovative virtual reality motor rehabilitation program based on an immersive tool. All exercises will take place in the CAVE, a four-screen room with a stationary bike. The protocol will include two types of exercises for the improvement of balance: “Positive Bike” and “Avoid the Rocks.” We will choose evaluation scales related to the functional aspects and subjective perception of balance. Our aim is to prove that our innovative motor rehabilitation protocol is as effective as or more…
ADDITIVE INTERACTION BETWEEN LIFETIME CANNABIS USE AND CHILDHOOD TRAUMA IN INCREASING THE RISK FOR PSYCHOSIS. A REPLICATION ANALYSIS ON A SAMPLE OF F…
2012
Background: Additive interaction between childhood trauma and cannabis use in increasing risk for psychotic disorders has been recently demonstrated in a prospective (Harley et al., 2009) and a cross sectional study (Konigs et al., 2011), although not replicated in another survey (Kuepper et al., 2011). This study aimed to analyse additive interaction between lifetime cannabis and severe child abuse in increasing the risk for psychosis in a sample of first episode psychosis patients and geographically matched controls. In addition, analyses were re-run separately for males and females in order to investigate whether the association was moderated by gender. Methods: The sample consisted of 2…
Cumulative social disadvantage and psychosis: findings from a southern Italy case-control study
2016
Aim: There are consistent evidence suggesting that psychotic disorders are associated to social disadvantage and isolation in adulthood, and research suggested that they these are not simply a consequence of the functional impairment related to onset of the disease (Stilo et al., 2013; Morgan et al., 2008). To date only a few studies have investigated the impact of social risk factors on psychosis in Italy. This study aimed to replicate existing findings in a case-control sample from Southern Italy. Methods: 134 individuals presenting for the first time to mental health services of Palermo (Italy) with an ICD 10 diagnosis of psychosis and 175 population controls from Palermo (Italy) were en…
Mafia e psicoterapia
2012
Il lavoro prende le mosse dal lavoro di Girolamo Lo Verso “La mafia in psicoterapia”, un volume che racchiudere quasi vent’anni di studi sulla psicologia del fenomeno mafioso e consente al lettore di far luce su un ambito poco conosciuto, sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, quale quello relativo alla relazione terapeutica con pazienti appartenenti a famiglie mafiose, e di comprendere le gravi ricadute psichiche che la mafia provoca sia nei suoi appartenenti, sia in coloro che, a vario titolo, entrano in contatto con essa (cittadini, vittime, comunità…). Di particolare rilievo, oltre alla presentazione delle ricerche portate avanti negli anni, risulta essere l’esposizione di numerosi…
SCHIZOFRENIA E ADATTAMENTO NEL CASO DI BEATRICE
2017
This paper is focused on the outcomes of psychotic functioning and, in particular, on individual and contextual elements that could influence the level of adjustment of a patient with schizophrenia. The case of Beatrice, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 23, is analyzed using the personal diary that she herself compiled over about fifty years, in which she documented the fundamental events of her life. In the story of B. certain protective factors were highlighted, which enabled B. to have a good quality of life: effective pharmacological therapy with no side-effects, awareness of the pathology, the capacity to build satisfying interpersonal relationships and her religious …
Análisis de la cultura organizacional de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Valencia
2017
Resumen Este artículo analiza la cultura organizativa de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Valencia (España). Se ha utilizado el Inventario de Cultura Organizacional de Cooke y Lafferty, validado por la literatura científica y muy empleado. Mide tres estilos culturales: constructivo, pasivo-defensivo y agresivo-defensivo. El instrumento se ha aplicado a una muestra de 363 alumnos/as del grado de Psicología, obteniéndose bajos niveles en el índice de desviación media, lo que permite establecer conclusiones a nivel agregado. En suma, la cultura percibida en este centro universitario no sobresale especialmente por ningún estilo en particular, aunque apunta muy ligeramente hacia un…
