Work Matters: Consulting to leaders and organizations in the Tavistock tradition
No full textWork is complicated: It can be fulfilling and exciting, or disappointing and disruptive. We spend most of our adult lives at work; it shapes our identities and provides a context for our creativity and talents. It can be the source of great pleasure – and of profound distress.
In Work Matters, organizational consultant and Tavistock lecturer Francesca Cardona examines our changing relationship with work today. Drawing on case studies from a wide range of individuals and organizations, she considers the dynamics at play in our working lives. Cardona examines how to navigate times of transition, and the balance of power in the work place, while also addressing latent issues such as the effects of shame, the cost of ill-conceived organizational structures and tasks, the interface between the personal and the professional, and the manager’s most precious skill: the ability to be psychologically present. Finally, Cardona casts an eye on the consultant’s role in helping organizations move forwards in ways that are professionally and personally rewarding.
Whether you are a business leader, manager, consultant or student, or simply interested in how your work affects you, Work Matters offers essential insights into an area that occupies so much of our lives
Sindrome di Tourette nel bambino
No full textLa sindrome di Tourette è un disturbo del neurosviluppo caratterizzato da tic motori multipli
e uno o più tic fonici, della durata di almeno un anno, con esordio prima dei 18 anni di
età. I tic sono movimenti o suoni involontari, improvvisi, rapidi, ripetitivi ma non ritmici. La
sindrome di Tourette ha una prevalenza di 1 individuo affetto su 100 ed è più frequente nei
maschi rispetto alle femmine (rapporto 4:1). L’eziopatogenesi del disturbo non è del tutto
nota; studi recenti dimostrano che l’interazione di fattori genetici e ambientali risulta nella
disfunzione di alcuni circuiti cerebrali. L’età di esordio tipica è tra i 5 e i 7 anni. Il 90% di
pazienti affetti da sindrome di Tourette presenta una comorbidità, il 58% ne presenta due
e circa il 30% di pazienti può presentare tre o più diagnosi psichiatriche in comorbidità nel
corso della vita. La terapia comportamentale rappresenta la prima scelta di intervento in
questi pazienti. Il trattamento farmacologico spesso non risulta necessario, ci si avvale di
esso nei casi in cui i tic o le comorbidità interferiscano significativamente con le attività
quotidiane, scolastiche o con la vita sociale dei pazienti
"The love that made hell, paradise." Ouida re-writing the Paolo and Francesca theme in Held in Bondage

Rage attacks in Tourette syndrome and chronic tic disorder: a systematic review
No full textTourette syndrome (TS) and Chronic motor/vocal Tic Disorder (CTD) are neurodevelopmental conditions defined by the occurrence of multiple tics. Besides the well-known association with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), rage attacks (RA) represent common and detrimental symptoms for patients. In order to explore prevalence of RA in tic disorders, relation to tic severity/comorbidities and available treatments, we performed a systematic literature review based on PRISMA Guidelines. 32 studies published between January 2008 - December 2019 were deemed suitable for the analysis and provided a prevalence of 20-67%. Most findings showed a direct correlation with tic severity and a significant impact on psychosocial functioning. Although apparently related to comorbid ADHD, RA also frequently occur as independent manifestations. Association with other comorbidities, such as OCD, impulse control and mood disorders has also been reported, not yet fully established. Behavioral interventions appear to be effective, whereas there is limited evidence concerning the efficacy of medication. In TS/CTD, RA may be regarded as a major comorbidity that requires clinical investigation in order to develop personalized treatments
