La ricerca in psicoterapia di gruppo: un adattamento italiano del modello del ciclo terapeutico ( TCM) per l’eta’ evolutiva
No full textINTRODUZIONE. Lo strumento terapeutico del gruppo in età evolutiva permette di intervenire sui diversi aspetti della personalità del bambino che emergono in situazioni relazionali complesse: l’interazioni e gli scambi tra bambino/bambino e terapeuta/terapeuta ( Kymissis, Halperin 1996). La ricerca in tale campo rappresenta una sfida tuttora in corso in quanto necessita di un’interazione tra l’osservatore, l’analisi degli scambi interattivi e la comprensione dei contenuti narrativi. Il modello del ciclo del ciclo terapeutico di Mergenthaler ( Mergenthaler, Casonato 2009), nato per l’analisi computerizzata dei trascritti delle psicoterapie con gli adulti, consente un’indagine quantitativa delle interazioni verbali delle sedute di trattamento individuale e di gruppo. Il presente lavoro si propone di studiare i processi di cambiamento all’interno di un gruppo terapeutico in età evolutiva a partire dalle narrazioni di ciascun componente secondo la prospettiva teorica del Modello del Ciclo Terapeutico.METODO: L’intervento ha riguardato un ciclo di dodici sedute di terapia di gruppo a impostazione psicodinamica con due terapeuti e tre bambini di otto anni con disturbi sul piano relazionale; si è scelto di strapolare la prima seduta, quella intermedia e l’ultima. I trascritti verbatim delle sedute sono stati analizzati attraverso l’applicazione del Texit Analysis Sistem TAS/C, un programma computerizzato ispirato al Modello del Ciclo Terapeutico di Mergenthaler (2007).
RISULTATI. L’applicazione del TAS/C ai dialoghi effettuati dai bambini durante le tre sedute ha permesso di identificare e codificare le parole emotive (ET) e astratte (AB), utilizzate dai bambini e dai terapeuti, ma non contenute nei dizionari per adulti. E’ stato possibile così costruire dei dizionari caratteristici del discorso infantile in psicoterapia di gruppo
Cultural Adaptation of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale: Reliability and Validity of a Italian Version
Full text linkObjective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of an Italian version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004).
Method
Three studies were completed. First, factorial structure, internal consistency, and concurrent validity of our Italian version of the DERS were examined with a sample of 323 students (77% female; mean age 25.6). Second, test-retest analyses were completed using a different sample of 61 students (80% female; mean age 24.7). Third, the scores produced by a small clinical sample of participants (N = 38; mean age = 24.2) affected by anorexia, binge eating disorder, or bulimia were compared to those of an age-matched, nonclinical female sample (N = 38; mean age = 24.7).
Results
The factorial structure replicated quite well the six-factor structure proposed by Gratz and Roemer. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were adequate and comparable to previous findings. The validity was good, as indicated by both the concurrent validity analysis and the clinical-nonclinical sample comparison.
Conclusions
These studies provide further support for the multidimensional model of emotion regulation postulated by Gratz and Roemer and strengthen the rationale for cross-cultural utilization of the DERS. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Clin. Psychol. 00:1-20, 2012
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
