Il defense mechanisms inventory
2015
Il Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI) (Gleser e Ihilevich, 1969; Gleser e Ihilevich, 1986) è un questionario semiproiettivo per la valutazione degli stili difensivi. Creato alla fine degli anni sessanta da Gleser e Ihilevich, si è diffuso nella pratica clinica e nella ricerca, godendo di buona considerazione nella letteratura scientifica (Davidson e McGregor, 1998). Soltanto la forma per adulti è stata validata in Italia, ma esistono sia la forma per adolescenti sia quella per anziani. La forma per adolescenti prevede una versione breve risultata piuttosto affidabile sia nella clinica sia nelal ricerca (Recklitis et al. 1995).
Orthorexic tendencies and healthy eating in university students: which association with eating disorders, psychopathology, and defense mechanisms?
2021
Orthorexic tendencies and healthy eating in university students: which association with eating disorders, psychopathology, and defense mechanisms? higher in some immature defenses (passive aggression and somatization) than healthy-eating individuals, while no differences were found in mature and neurotic defense styles. Conclusions. These results support the existence of significant differences between ON and other (non-problematic) healthy eating behaviors.
Psychoanalytically-Oriented Inpatient Psychotherapy of Somatoform Disorders
2008
Somatoform disorders have been neglected in psychoanalytic publications. Unlike the descriptive approach of DSM-IV and ICD-10, sophisticated psychoanalytical models have been proposed for many years explaining the development of physical symptoms without definable medical cause. Based on a review of the psychoanalytic models of somatization and conversion, this article explores difficulties in the medical and psychotherapeutic treatments of somatoform disorders. The unique tradition of psychosomatic inpatient treatment in Germany is illustrated by the psychoanalytic treatment setting at the University of Mainz. A case report of a somatoform patient shows how childhood trauma is activated an…
Could emotional processing influence pain perception and quality of life in chronic kidney disease and hemodialyzed patients?
2017
Background and Objectives: The incidence of chronic pain is 11-24% in general population, whereas it affects 50% of hemodialyzed subjects and is often secondary to comorbidities, CKD-related complications and certain clinical procedures. Consequently, a better approach in evaluating pain as a “symptom” and in managing it adequately is required for these patients. Methods: 33% of the 300 patients enrolled properly consigned the questionnaires. The mean age of dialyzed patients was 52.2±11.2 years, whereas 54.9±10.7 years was the mean age for CKD patients. Moreover, 53 healthy subjects, ages 20-65, have been included in the study as control group. Specific psycho-diagnostic tests were adminis…
Oblicza przemocy w dyskursie nauki, publicystyki oraz w doświadczeniach ofiar
2019
W artykule przedstawiam jeden rodzaj przemocy – przemoc w rodzinie i jej konsekwencje. Proponuję spojrzenie na ten problem z dwóch różnych, wzajemnie uzupełniających się perspektyw. Z perspektywy teorii nauk społecznych, oraz z perspektywy towarzyszącego im dyskursu publicznego. Opisuję także doświadczenia ofiar przemocy. Zastosowane metody analizy to krytyczna analiza tekstów naukowych, krytyczna analiza publicystyki, wywiad skoncentrowany na problemie oraz krytyczna analiza wypowiedzi dorosłych, którzy na podstawie retrospekcji udostępnili swoje doświadczenia związane z przemocą w rodzinie. Kontekstem zaprezentowanych analiz jest krytycznie zrekonstruowany dyskurs dotyczący przeobrażeń ws…

Multimodal Aposematic Defenses Through the Predation Sequence
2021
Aposematic organisms warn predators of their unprofitability using a combination of defenses, including visual warning signals, startling sounds, noxious odors, or aversive tastes. Using multiple lines of defense can help prey avoid predators by stimulating multiple senses and/or by acting at different stages of predation. We tested the efficacy of three lines of defense (color, smell, taste) during the predation sequence of aposematic wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) using blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) predators. Moths with two hindwing phenotypes (genotypes: WW/Wy = white, yy = yellow) were manipulated to have defense fluid with aversive smell (methoxypyrazines), body tissues with a…
