Suicidio e autocensura nelle traduzioni italiane dei Frauenromane
2015
Fra i numerosi romanzi tedeschi che si imposero sulla scena editoriale dell’Italia degli anni Venti e Trenta, i Frauenromane, romanzi scritti da donne e rivolti a donne, veicolavano il modello della Neue Frau weimariana, donna lavoratrice, economicamente indipendente e sessualmente emancipata. La circolazione di alcuni di questi volumi fu ostacolata dal regime fascista che, impensierito dal potenziale anticonformista di questi testi, era attento ad assegnare ben altri ruoli alle donne italiane, isolando ogni minaccia di sovversività.Uno dei temi più scomodi – aborto, emancipazione femminile – era il suicidio, ritenuto tanto immorale quanto pericoloso per il suo rischio emulativo. Tramite un…
Childhood Maltreatment, Pathological Personality Dimensions, and Suicide Risk in Young Adults
2018
Several studies have demonstrated that child maltreatment (psychological, physical, and sexual abuse, and neglect) may be a significant factor in the development of pathological personality traits that increase the risk for suicidal ideation and behavior from adolescence to adulthood. Currently, the challenge is to understand how different forms of early negative experiences render an individual prone to develop specific personality traits and, in turn, be more vulnerable to suicide risk. To understand the relationship between childhood maltreatment and personality dimensions in suicide risk, our study aims to explore the role of self-criticism and dependency, two different pathological per…
Le poche luci e le molte ombre dei disegni di legge italiani in tema di morte medicalmente assistita
2022
The research analyzes the recent Italian draft laws on Medical Assistance in dying, their strengths and several shortcomings, comparing them with other European laws on this subject. The Italian draft laws are not fully hinged on the exercise of self-de- termination of the suffering person but remain bound to the reference to a condition of proximity to death or the presence of life-sustaining treatments, which in fact cause unjustified inequities in access to a health service aimed at protecting the dignity of the person. Furthermore, the articulation of the procedures for requesting and assessing suitability outlined in the Italian bills does not allow to fully protect the person in a con…

Taxonomy of homicides of women in intimate partner relationships
2018
Intimate partner violence prevention is a challenge that has received wide international interest. Homicide is the most serious result of this type of violence, although its prevalence is low and its etiology is complex. This paper briefly reviews the description of the problem from a gender perspective and the existence of asymmetry, the perspective of violence and its description of differential risk factors, and the ecological model that connects personal, contextual, and societal variables, presenting a more integrative proposal. Studies analyzing and comparing homicide profiles are described, as well as the state of the art regarding risk assessment, with special attention to the impli…
Stress conceptions in life event research: Towards a person‐centred perspective
1987
The present article focuses on a discussion of the theoretical foundations of life event research. Since critical life events are usually regarded as stressful events, the main question is which concepts of stress are employed in different life event approaches and what is their rationale. The discussion centres on two topics that have to be treated independently: the question of specificity vs nonspecificity and the question of individualized vs normative weightings. It is shown that different life event approaches rely on different concepts of stress. Numerous objections lead to a rejection of the nonspecificity concept and a normative proceeding. However, even when a specificity view of…

Romantic relationships in intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic adolescent couples in Germany: The role of attachment to parents, self-esteem, and conflict r…
2010
We investigated romantic relationships in a sample of 380 adolescents who formed 190 heterosexual couples (mean age: females 17 years; males 18 years): 173 intra-ethnic (German) couples and 17 inter-ethnic couples. Factor analyses revealed two types of love experiences: (a) experiences of attraction and a passionate focus on the partner (passionate love) and (b) experiences of affiliation (companionate love). No differences were found between intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic couples in romantic experiences, self-esteem, and conflict resolution skills. Adolescents in intra-ethnic couples had more close relations with parents than adolescents in inter-ethnic couples. Actor—Partner Interdependen…
Public Attitudes Toward Reporting Partner Violence Against Women and Reporting Behavior
2006
Drawing from attitude-behavior research tradition, this study used a national probabilistic sample of the Spanish adult population (N= 2,432) to test hypotheses regarding correlates of public attitudes toward reporting partner violence against women, and the relationship between attitudes toward reporting and actual reporting behavior. Results show the importance of several correlates of public attitudes toward reporting. Also, our results have suggested a potential disconnect between attitudes and behavior because failure to intervene appears to be a common response of those aware of incidents of partner violence against women.
