Patologie del bambino o delle relazioni? Possibilità diagnostiche e prospettive di intervento della valutazione delle competenze triadiche familiari.
No full textIntroduzione
La prospettiva interattivo-relazionale costituisce un approccio alla comprensione della psicopatologia dello sviluppo che sposta la lettura del disagio psichico definendolo in termini di espressione di un fallimento dell’ambiente globale delle cure nel contesto di appartenenza del bambino (Sameroff, Emde, 1989). Tale visione risulta centrale nella costruzione di un processo diagnostico che vede come paziente, non più il singolo soggetto (portatore della sintomatologia), ma il sistema interattivo che insieme le persone stanno costruendo. In questa prospettiva, clinici e ricercatori stanno lavorando all’individuazione e all’applicazione di strumenti di osservazione e valutazione delle interazioni in grado di consentire l’individuazione di indicatori relazionali di rischio e/o di psicopatologia e da programmare possibili interventi con il bambino e con la famiglia modulati in base alle caratteristiche specifiche delle dinamiche interattive presenti (Fava Vizziello, Stern, 1992).
Metodo
Il lavoro consiste nell’applicazione ad un gruppo di 20 famiglie, in consultazione clinica presso un Servizio per la Genitorialità, del Lausanne Triadic Play (LTP; Fivaz-Depeursinge, Corboz-Warnery, 1999) con l’obiettivo di indagare le potenzialità di questo strumento nell’iter diagnostico sia per la definizione del bilancio clinico del bambino e della famiglia, sia per l’individuazione delle prospettive di presa in carico terapeutica. Il gruppo è composto da: 10 famiglie con bambini di età tra 0 e 5 anni; 10 famiglie con bambini in seconda infanzia. L’ LTP è un metodo osservativo che coinvolge madre-padre e bambino in un gioco suddiviso in 4 episodi e viene codificata con uno schema composto da 10 variabili osservative derivato da quello di Fivaz-Depeursinge et al., (2002) e modificato per gruppi clinici da Simonelli, Bighin, De Palo, Petech (2006). Ogni variabile è graduata su scala likert a 3 punti (range 0-2) e viene codificata per ognuna delle parti della procedura e per ogni componente dell’interazione. L’insieme dei punteggi ottenuti vengono sommati a costituire un punteggio complessivo di Alleanza familiare.
Risultati
Nell’insieme le famiglie si connotano per una scarsa capacità di focalizzarsi sul compito proposto (violazione dei tempi e delle consegne) e di condividere attraverso il gioco una affettività positiva e orientata alla collocazione del bambino nello “spazio familiare”. Inoltre, il procedere dell’interazione evidenzia un decremento delle competenze triadiche della famiglia: in altre parole, con il passare del tempo la qualità dell’interazione peggiora significativamente (ANOVA, (F3,33=7.55, p<0,01). Infine, si osservano associazioni significative tra la qualità dell’Alleanza Familiare e il tipo di disturbo manifestato dal bambino.
Conclusioni: Tale studio offre una prima visione esplorativa dell’applicazione di uno strumento relazionale nella valutazione della psicopatologia infantile, consentendo di delineare percorsi di intervento e presa in carico

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

Interactions and attachment in families with drug-addict adolescent: assessment and intervention in a community setting
No full textBackground: The latest, national and international, data about drug use in adolescence show a steady increase in the recruitment of substances by teenager. The issue is becoming a social problem and a growing number of therapeutic communities are defining specific treatment plans that take into account the particular life moment that adolescents are facing, in particular the separation-individuation process from parents. In this perspective is important to define when and how involving the parents in the therapeutic process (diagnosis, intervention, outcome, etc.). Therefore the study consists on a research-intervention focused on the role of the parental couple in the assessment process and treatment of drug-addicted adolescents in order to evaluate and promote parents’ active participation and support of their sons/daughters recovery.
The specific aims of the study are: a) to investigate the quality of attachment representations of drug-addicted adolescents and their parents; b) to investigate the characteristics of family interactions in order to assess functional and pathological interactive configuration and their connections with adolescent’ pathological development.
Method: Participants were 10 drug-addicted adolescents (15-21 years) in residential therapeutic community and their parents. Measures include: the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP; Fivaz-Depeursinge, Corboz-Warnery, 1999) in order to observe family interactions and the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; George, Kaplan, Main, 1985) administered to the adolescents and their parents in order to investigate internal representations of attachment.
Results: preliminary results show that: a) the adolescents idealize and justify their parents, rejecting their negative characteristics but often describing events of parental neglect during their childhood; b) parents’ difficulties in family interactions involve both the marital and the co-parental level with particular regard to role-reversal dynamic involving the son/daughter in the family conflicts
