“When You Thought That There Is No One and Nothing”: The Value of Psychodrama in Working With Abused Women
2018
This paper discusses how psychodrama methods and techniques can empower abused women and stimulate changes in their victim role. Through an in-depth exploration, we sought to gain an insider’s perspective of the experiences of change and perceived outcomes for abused women, which could contribute to optimizing gender violence intervention. Theoretically, the study is grounded in the female co-responsibility and trans-generational transmission of women’s victim role from mother to daughter. A mixed methods experimental design employing an explanatory sequential approach to data collection was implemented. A total sample of 33 abused women (15 in the experimental group, and 18 in the control …
Typology of human aggression and its biological control
2008
Human aggression is considered a global public health problem with a tremendous impact on the victims. Scientists studying this behaviour can contribute to reducing this worldwide problem by identifying its causes and designing preventive interventions and treatment. Those working on its biological bases need to establish which types of human aggression may be candidates for a biological intervention, which makes it necessary to develop a typology of this behaviour. Considering the primary goal that guides the perpetrator to behave aggressively, a distinction is made between impulsive and premeditated types. However, to control aggression, the distinction should be made between individuals …
Differences in treatment adherence, program completion, and recidivism among batterer subtypes
2017
Abstract The present study aimed to cross-validate Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's typology in a Spanish sample of court-referred intimate partner violence batterers. The study also analyzed the typology's capability to predict treatment attendance, completion, and IPV recidivism two years after the treatment. The sample consisted of 210 batterers court referred to a batterer intervention program. Using cluster analysis, three batterer subtypes were identified in accordance with the original typology: family-only batterers, borderline/dysphoric, and generally violent-antisocial. The typology predicted program attendance, completion, and recidivism. Batterers from the generally violent-antiso…
The translating subject: another double of Alejandra Pizarnik’s lyrical I?
2011
This article is the English version of "Le sujet traduisant : un autre double du je lyrique d‘Alejandra Pizarnik?" by Madeleine Stratford. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. Fragmentation of the subject is one of the distinctive features of the poetry of Argentine writer Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1072). Indeed, her poems convey her perpetual dissatisfaction with language, which cannot express her lyrical self in all of its complexity or resuscitate her biographical self. Particularly in her fourth poetry book, Árbol de Diana (1962), the p…

Enhancing Skills in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder through Technology-Mediated Interventions
2017
Marco teórico Las personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) presentan dificultades en el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación e interacción social (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) que son fundamentales para los procesos de aprendizaje y aparición del lenguaje verbal. Una de estas habilidades es la atención conjunta (AC), que consiste en la habilidad de una persona para captar la atención de otra hacia un objeto o evento mediante el seguimiento de la mirada, señalar u otro tipo de indicación verbal o no verbal (Mundy, 2016). Por otro lado, el número de estudios sobre intervenciones mediadas por el uso de nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) se ha …
Promoting Awareness about Psychological Consequences of Living in a Community Oppressed by the Mafia: A Group-Analytic Intervention
2017
The effects of the Mafia have been extensively studied from sociological, economic, and historical points of view. However, little research has investigated the influence of the Mafia on individuals and communities in terms of its psychological and social impact. In order to contribute to the advancement of our understanding of the psychological effects of the Mafia on individuals and communities and to promote a participative process of social change, a group analytic intervention was conducted within a Community Based Participatory Research carried out in Corleone, a small Sicilian town with a historically recognized role in the evolution of the Mafia, as well as in the fight against its …
Prevention of Functional Decline by Reframing the Role of Nursing Homes?
2017
Institutionalization is generally a consequence of functional decline driven by physical limitations, cognitive impairments, and/or loss of social supports. At this stage, intervention to reverse functional losses is often too late. To be more effective, geriatric medicine must evolve to intervene at an earlier stage of the disability process. Could nursing homes (NHs) transform from settings in which many residents dwell to settings in which the NH residents and those living in neighboring communities benefit from staff expertise to enhance quality of life and maintain or slow functional decline? A task force of clinical researchers met in Toulouse on December 2, 2015, to address some of t…
Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
