L’assessment di personalità in soggetti con Disturbo dell’Identità di Genere attraverso la Swap-200. Uno studio sugli stili di personalità dei pazienti D.I.G.
No full textLa ricerca, orientata all’esplorazione degli stili di personalità riscontrati nei soggetti con Disturbo dell’Identità di Genere, si è focalizzato sull’utilizzo della Swap-200. Tale strumento, di recente introduzione nel panorama della metodologia volta allo studio della personalità, si propone di superare la netta separazione attualmente esistente tra clinica, psicometria e diagnosi psichiatrica, al fine di arricchire il più possibile il delicato processo diagnostico della personalità umana. Nello studio in esame, lo strumento è stato utilizzato al fine di comprendere, in un’ottica dimensionale e funzionale, la complessa realtà del transessualismo maschile e femminile. L’obiettivo è stato quello di dare voce alla soggettività di ciascun individuo in vista del superamento del processo diagnostico consueto, fatto di sole evidenze comportamentali ed estremamente riduzionistico. Di fondamentale importanza, nel progetto di ricerca in esame, è stata la relazione con i pazienti e la dimensione del colloquio clinico-diagnostico

Eutopia-Mt. teaching mediation skills using multiplayer on-line role playing games
No full textThe last twenty years have seen the development of best practices for teaching and developing mediation skills. Role-playing is a widespread didactic methodology in this context. In this way, mediation skills learning process comes through an experiential dimension (Learning by Doing). Nevertheless there are some problems not yet overcome: a) knowing the identity of those who are involved in the role-play may influence the scenic action; b) the emotional involvement could be elevated and invalidate the learning process; c) the organization of a role-playing session could mean high costs expenditure.
EUTOPIA-MT (Miglino et al., 2008) is a European research project that aims to overcome these limits through a MORPG platform employment. The effectiveness of this solution has been tested in three situations of inter-community conflict, respectively in Cyprus (an international conflict acting in the city area between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots), Northern Ireland (an urban social conflict coming from an international conflict between Protestants and Catholics) and Southern Italy (an urban social conflict between native and immigrant communities). In this paper we illustrate the project outcomes

Severe impact of late diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia on gender identity, sexual orientation and function: case report and review of the literature
No full textCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) represents the most frequent form of CAH and of 46, XX disorder of sex development in female newborns. In the majority of cases, particularly in developed countries, female patients suffering from the classic forms of CAH reach the diagnosis at birth or in the early childhood, allowing a prompt treatment with a correct gender assignment. The current manuscript describes an unusual case of an Italian 46-year-old woman, homeborn in the 60s, receiving an extraordinarily late diagnosis of simple virilising classic form of CAH due to 21-OHD, determining a relevant impairment of both physical and psychosexual development. The patient presented primary amenorrhea, height under target, overweight with visceral adiposity, hypercholesterolemia and insulin resistance, hirsutism with a typical male-pattern hair growth, external genital ambiguity, and a severe impairment in the entire series of psychological dimensions, particularly severe depressive symptoms, together with gender dysphoria relative to the female gender assigned at birth, cross-gender behaviours, and body image discomfort, which were associated with homosexual orientation, and sexual dysfunction. Following diagnosis and glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy, the hyperandrogenism control and familial and socio-cultural factors changes, particularly, living alone and the interruption of social isolation, were accompanied by menarche appearance, improvement in hirsutism and metabolic profile, and a resolution in all psychological dimensions, depressive symptoms, and gender dysphoria. The patient began to perceive homosexual orientation without discomfort, and ameliorating sexual function. Few cases of female patients with CAH due to 21-OHD receiving an extremely delayed diagnosis have been published. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case including a complete psychosexual assessment at diagnosis with a detailed re-evaluation after 5 years of disease treatment
