Italian adaptation of the Group Questionnaire: validity and factorial structure

2020

The Group Questionnaire (GQ) is a measure recently developed by Krogel et al. (2013) for the evaluation of the therapeutic relationship in group. The GQ identifies a three-factor model of the relationship that allows to measure quality (Positive Bonding, Positive Working and Negative Relationship) and structure (member-member, member-leader and member-group), dimensions in group. This work shows the results of a first study on the Italian validation of the GQ. In this study the GQ was administered to 536 subjects from 32 non-clinical groups of undergraduate students. The cross-cultural validity of the GQ in the Italian population has been examined by comparing the psychometric properties an…

Horizon: Resilience – Design of a Serious Game for Ecological Momentary Intervention for Depression

2021

Depression is the world’s most prevalent mental disorder and the primary source of disability adjusted life years (DALY). While traditional face-to-face therapies have been shown to be effective, alternative delivery methods, e.g. internet-based therapies, have been investigated to overcome barriers to access, such as lack of availability of therapists and infrastructure. This article presents the design of a mobile serious game as a novel psychological momentary ecological intervention for depressive symptoms. We discuss how selected principles and techniques of common psychological frameworks used to tackle depression, namely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including Behavioral Activation) …

Conduct disorder and ADHD: evaluation of conduct problems as a categorical and quantitative trait in the international multicentre ADHD genetics stud…

2008

Contains fulltext : 71374.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is typically characterized by inattention, excessive motor activity, impulsivity, and distractibility. Individuals with ADHD have significant impairment in family and peer relations, academic functioning, and show high co-morbidity with a wide range of psychiatric disorders including oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), anxiety disorder, depression, substance abuse, and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Family studies suggest that ADHD + CD represents a specific subtype of the ADHD disorder with familial risk factors only partly overlapping with t…

Meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage scans of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

2008

Contains fulltext : 69243.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Genetic contribution to the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is well established. Seven independent genome-wide linkage scans have been performed to map loci that increase the risk for ADHD. Although significant linkage signals were identified in some of the studies, there has been limited replications between the various independent datasets. The current study gathered the results from all seven of the ADHD linkage scans and performed a Genome Scan Meta Analysis (GSMA) to identify the genomic region with most consistent linkage evidence across the studies. Genome-wide significant linkage (P(S…

No association between two polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter gene and combined type attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

2008

Contains fulltext : 71091.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Several independent studies have reported association between serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) polymorphisms and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Five studies found evidence for association between the long-allele of a 44-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) and ADHD. Another two studies corroborated this finding while a further six studies did not find such an association. For a second polymorphism within the gene, a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) within intron 2, one study demonstrated that the 12/12 genotype was significantly less frequent in ADHD cases compared to controls, while a sec…

La relazione clinica mediata dallo schermo nella psicoterapia di gruppo online

2021

La psicoterapia di gruppo online è una esperienza molto recente in Italia, dove non era mai stata praticata prima delle restrizioni imposte dalla emergenza sanitaria. In quella occasione i terapeuti di gruppo hanno effettuato il passaggio dal setting in presenza a quello online apprendendo dalla esperienza diretta come gestire la relazione clinica mediata dallo schermo, in particolare rispetto alla amministrazione del setting, alle dinamiche del gruppo e allo stile di conduzione. Questi e altri fenomeni sono stati indagati attraverso un questionario compilato da 26 terapeuti di gruppo dopo tre mesi di pratica, che ha permesso di evidenziare impressioni, vissuti, difficolt&agr…

Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs durch Patienten mit Angststörungen nach stationärer Psychotherapie

2002

Ziel. Identifikation von Einflussfaktoren auf die subjektive Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs nach stationarer Angstpsychotherapie. Methode. 231 Angstpatienten wurden in einer multizentrischen Studie zu Therapiebeginn und -ende sowie in der 1-Jahres-Katamnese untersucht. Die subjektive Erfolgsbewertung wurde mittels des Helping Alliance Questionnaire erfasst; in diesem Zusammenhang wird der Begriff “Patientenzufriedenheit” diskutiert. Ergebnis. Die Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs korreliert weder mit Alter, Geschlecht oder Bildungsstand noch mit Krankheitsdauer, Symptombelastung bei Therapiebeginn oder Behandlungsdauer. Am hochsten korreliert die Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs mit dem symptombezo…

Psychodynamic Motivation and Training program (PMT) for the secondary prevention in patients with stable coronary heart disease: study protocol for a…

2013

Background Nonpharmacological secondary prevention of coronary heart disease is considered a safe and effective measure to substantially reduce mortality. Despite the effectiveness of lifestyle changes, the compliance rate of patients is very low mainly due to psychosocial barriers. Psychotherapeutic approaches that address how persons think about themselves and their behaviors appear to have a significant potential for improving health behavior. Methods/design Against this background, our study aims to examine the feasibility and effects of a Psychodynamic Motivation and Training program (PMT) as compared to one session of advice in exercise training (EX) and treatment as usual (TAU). For …

Rasburicase-induced Methemoglobinemia: A Case Report and Literature Review.

2020

Rasburicase is a recombinant urate oxidase enzyme indicated for tumor lysis syndrome, a potential life-threatening oncologic emergency that occurs most commonly during initial chemotherapy for hematological malignancies. As a result of the defects in the physiological antioxidant pathway, erythrocytes of patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are not protected against the oxidizing stress exerted by hydrogen peroxide generated with the administration of rasburicase. The authors report a 14-year-old patient, diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who developed methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia with low oxygen saturation after starting steroids, hyperhydr…
