    The focus of this paper is the work with parental couple of adolescents with mental disease. In fact it is thought of the adolescent patient as an adult about whom it is not important to treat with his/her parents as it is when working with children. The Authors assumed it is a good practice to give a space to adolescents’ parents as well and to create a collaborative relationship with them. After a brief introduction where it is treated some questions around the alliance with parental couple paying particular attention to difficulties of creating a collaborative relationship, they are presented some data from clinical studies. Two adolescent case reports are considered: one is about adolescents who had come to the service the Authors work in for a diagnostic evaluation after which they were suggested to go into psychotherapy; in this case the work with adolescents and their families was mainly clinical. The other case report is about adolescents who were followed within a daily service where the main approach was an educational one. The results - valid for the two of therapeutic environments, the clinical and the educational one - suggest that a therapeutic alliance with parents can influence both adolescents’ compliance and clinical evolution. This paper underlines how it is important, for the efficacy of therapy, to treat with adolescents’ parents as an integrative part of the approach to mental disease in adolescence

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
