We Invite You to Submit to Rorschachiana: Topics of Interest and What to Expect
No full textAs editor-in-chief for Rorschachiana, starting from August 1, 2020, the author states that he will respect the journal’s background and tradition while trying to promote its further growth in terms of impact and scientific relevance. There are several challenges that Rorschachiana will have to face to continue its successful development in the coming years. To cope with these challenges and foster the growth of the journal, at the onset of his tenure as editor-in-chief he will put together an active, diverse, and qualified editorial board. Also, he will welcome submissions on valid projective tests, whether traditional or new, so that the community of clinicians might benefit from having better knowledge of them. The journal is open to developers of new tests, or new coding systems for traditional tests, to submit manuscripts providing scientifically sound literature reviews of these measures, illustrating the psychometric properties of their coding systems, demonstrating their clinical utility, and informing readers about the training procedures available to become proficient in their use
Más allá de los prejuicios de no eticidad de los test psicológicos: evaluación colaborativa y terapéutica
No full textEn este escrito quiero profundizar la relación entre la evaluación (assessment)
tradicional, la aproximación clínica sistémica (“de segundo orden”) y el assessment
terapéutico y colaborativo, para mostrar que la complementariedad entre tales
aproximaciones es posible desde un proceso de triangulación que permite al
psicólogo clínico convivir con diferentes modalidades de construcción de la realidad
Twisting all the way: from algebras to morphisms and connections
No full textGiven a Hopf algebra H and an algebra A that is an H-module algebra we consider the category of left H-modules and A-bimodules, where morphisms are just right A-linear maps (not necessarily H-equivariant). Given a twist F of H we then quantize (deform) H to H^F, A to A_\star and correspondingly the category of left H-modules and A-bimodules to the category of left H^F-modules and A_\star-bimodules. If we consider a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H, a quasi-commutative algebra A and quasi-commutative A-bimodules, we can further construct and study tensor products over A of modules and of morphisms, and their twist quantization. This study leads to the definition of arbitrary (i.e., not necessarily H-equivariant) connections on quasi-commutative A-bimodules, to extend these connections to tensor product modules and to quantize them to A_\star-bimodule connections. Their curvatures and those on tensor product modules are also determined.Given a Hopf algebra H and an algebra A that is an H-module algebra we consider the category of left H-modules and A-bimodules, where morphisms are just right A-linear maps (not necessarily H-equivariant).

Costruzione di una relazione collaborativa e apertura dei clienti ai test: un studio sull’MMPI-2
No full textThe clinical literature on Therapeutic Assessment asserts that collecting individualized assessment questions from clients at the beginning of an assessment helps them become involved in an assessment and sets the stage for the assessment to have a transformative effect. This study examined whether outpatients’ scores on the validity scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) varied as a result of whether they were asked to form individualized questions prior to test administration (n = 81) or took part in a traditional initial interview without being asked to give questions (n = 179). We also compared the MMPI-2 validity scale scores of clients who sought assessment voluntarily vs. those who were compelled to take the MMPI-2 as part of a child custody evaluation (n = 20). Our analyses showed that the Lie (L), Infrequency (F), and Correction (K) Scales of adult outpatients revealed statistically significant differences in the expected directions under three different conditions. Results suggest that the assessment is a vulnerable experience even for self-referred clients, and that the collection of assessment questions can promote their openness and cooperation with the process
Twisting quantum groups at the roots of unity
No full textLet G Be a simply connected compact Lie group and g be its complexified Lie algebra. Building on the work of H. Wenzl, we present a weak tensor structure on the unitary modular categories arising from quantum groups U_q(g) specialised at the root of 1 q, following the work about weak quasi-tensor categories by S. Carpi, S. Ciamprone, C. Pinzari and myself. The theory therein developed allows us to reconstruct these categories as representation categories of discrete unitary coboundary weak Hopf algebras. Furthermore, we consider the twisted categories obtained by modifying the associator using 3-cocycles on the dual of the centre of G and reconstruct them as representation categories of suitable discrete unitary weak Hopf algebras; this is done by adaptation of a result by S. Neshveyev and M. Yamashita in the analogous scenario of the compact quantum group corresponding to U_q(g) for q>1, i.e. for generic values of q
