Italian families and family interventions
No full textIn Italy, as in many countries, relatives are closely involved in caring for persons with physical and mental disorders. The Italian scenario lends itself to routine involvement of family members in psychiatric treatment because, despite becoming smaller and smaller, Italian families keep close ties, and men and women do not leave the parental home until relatively late. The authors describe the impact of international family psychosocial research on the Italian mental health services (MHSs) and the main psychosocial interventions currently in use, including family psychoeducational interventions and the "Milan family therapy approach." They also highlight the contribution Italian researchers have given to the study of important variables in integrated mental disorder care, such as family burden of care, relatives' attitudes, family functioning, and satisfaction with the MHSs. Finally, they discuss the difficulties of implementing and disseminating family interventions within the Italian MHS, despite the growing evidence of their effectiveness
Innovazione e qualità della didattica universitaria delle aree Antropologica, Pedagogica, Psicologica, Medica e Sociale
Full text linkIl report dei contributi, che sono stati esposti e commentati con grande autorevolezza e passione nel tavolo E multidisciplinare, è stato elaborato in due parti: la prima è costituita da riflessioni generali, inserite in una cornice di grande rilevanza storica per l’innovazione didattica universitaria che affonda le radici nel Processo di Bologna alla fine degli anni 90. Da quel momento le università europee si sono impegnate a dialogare tra di loro per cercare di garantire uno spazio europeo di condivisione. Contemporaneamente i singoli Atenei, a livello nazionale, si sono impegnati a dare vita ad un processo di miglioramento della qualità della didattica che sempre
più incontrasse le aspettative delle varie parti che sono interessate alla crescita culturale e professionali delle studentesse e degli studenti. Nella seconda parte vengono riportati analisi e commenti relativamente ai vari lavori
pervenuti da docenti di 14 Atenei che rappresentano esperienze e ricerche-azioni rilevanti per il miglioramento
della qualità e l’innovazione della didattica in differenti tipologie di Corsi di Studio

No full textIn Italy, the skills needed to conduct psychosocial interventions properly have been complied in a specific mental-health academic and professional profile; this profile defines the professional competencies of the “psychiatric rehabilitation technician” (PRT). The PRT is an Italian mental health profile, created after the Italian psychiatric reform, called the “Law 180”, in 1978. Our article focuses on the history of the development of the specific professional profile of the PRT. The article also describes the rehabilitation staff in routine practice in Italy and Europe and gives some suggestions for further improving the mobility of such professionals in Europe

Full text linkThis study assesses the effectiveness of our short Personal Recovery Training Program (PRTP) for mental health professionals. Fifty-two healthcare professionals from Italian mental health services and forty students in psychiatric rehabilitation completed the Recovery Knowledge Inventory (RKI) pre- and post-training, divided into two groups: the PRTP (N = 45) and the Family Psychoeducational Training Program (FPTP; N = 47). Participants’ understanding of personal recovery improved more significantly for those in the PRTP than for those in the FPTP group in two domains, “Roles and responsibilities” and “Non-linearity of the recovery process”; the FPTP group showed a significant improvement in the “Role of self-definition and peers in recovery” domain. Two consumers were involved in the PRTP and represented a resource to help participants understand the personal recovery process. Our findings indicate that a brief PRTP supported by consumers can improve staff and students' recovery orientation. The translation of the training into clinical practice remains unevaluated
