L'attività clinica di un servizio di psicopatologia dell'adolescenza: studio longitudinale ed epidemiologico di una casistica ambulatoriale
The authors present a clinical study about 103 patients seen at the Neuropsychiatric Centre they work in. The aim is to get clincial and epidemiological data about adolescents' psychopathology and diagnostic -therapeutic approach to it
ADOLESCENTI E GIOVANI ADULTI CON SPINA BIFIDA: QUALITA' DI VITA E RISCHIO PSICOPATOLOGICO
La relazione di alleanza con l’adolescente: centralità della motivazione
Many authors studied patients' motivation associated with the therapeutic process, confirming the importance of motivation, within the therapeutic allliance, in relation with therapeutic compliance and efficacy of therapy.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the motivation, within alliance relationship with adolescents, during the diagnostic process and to analyse the relation between motivation and following adolescents' therapeutic compliance and clinical evolution.
The Authors present a case report study about 50 adolescents seen in the service they work in. The service is mainly diagnostic and adolescents who need therapy are mostly sent to other public or private services. They are adolescents, aged from 12 to 18, who, after a diagnostic iter, were suggested to go into psychotherapy. Results suggest that, working with adolescents, motivation is important because it influences both therapeutic compliance and clinical evolution; then it is very important to pay attention to patient's motivation since the diagnostic moment
Relazione reale, alleanza di lavoro, alleanza terapeutica, transfert nel lavoro clinico con gli adolescenti
The Authors propose some reflections upon the theme of therapeutic alliance, coming both from literature and their clinical experience with adolescents. Some clinical data are presented after a theoretic excursus about therapeutic alliance, work alliance and after some inputs about difficulties (intrapersonal, interpersonal and external ones) that is possible to meet in the daily work with adolescents. Clinical data are about 103 adolescents who came to the Centre the Authors work in, from the beginning to the end of 2001. These data regard particularly some comparison between motivation of the adolescent and other variables like diagnosis, therapeutic project, six month follow-up both in terms of therapeutic compliance end clinical evolution
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
