Essere padre di un bambino nato pretermine
No full textMost studies of reactions to a preterm birth have involved mothers, but the emotional responses and behaviors of the father are equally important. The father is the first to come into contact with the newborn, to ask about his condition and to communicate information to mother and other family members. If there are other children, he must also look after them. In these functions he is often left alone and can manifest affective disorders, even if differently from women. In addition, the experience of preterm birth can foster couple conflicts.
Research has shown that involving fathers in newborn care is essential not only because it promotes the father-son attachment and has positive effects on the development of the newborn, but also for the health of the mother and the whole family.
Guidelines are provided to enhance the functions of fathers of preterm-born children, promote their involvement and prevent the manifestation of perinatal affective disorders and couple problems.
The functions of the psychologist in these cases require not only clinical skills, but also the ability to manage the emotional and relational difficulties of parents and colleagues
The Analogical Symptom Assessment (ASA): Italian validation in a non-clinical sample.
No full textBackground: The Analogical Symptom Assessment (ASA) (Baldoni, 2013) is a multidimensional self-report questionnaire that assesses the general state of health as perceived by the subject. The instrument consists of seven questions on an analogical basis (a ten-centimeter line) in a single A4 page. The main advantages lie in considering dimensions usually neglected by conventional questionnaires, such as the quality of relationships and the use of dysfunctional behaviors to control emotional dysregulation and psychological suffering. The ASA is a state measure, which can vary significantly because of existential changes or significant therapeutic interventions. It can be considered a thermometer of the general health state of the person.
Methods: The criterion-related validity of the ASA has been studied in a sample of 150 subjects, representative of the Italian general population, distributed equally for sex and age group (20-34; 35-49; >50). The selection was made by snowball sampling. The following tests were administered to all subjects: ASA, SQ, and SCL-90-R.
Results: Pearson’s r correlation was analyzed comparing subscales and scales. All the indexes of scales that assess the same dimensions were significant (p<0.01). Factor Analysis highlighted in the ASA two latent variables: “internalized” and “externalized” suffering. According to the test-retest reliability, further studies are necessary.
Conclusions: The ASA revealed good psychometric properties and adequate concurrent validity. Due to its simplicity, cost effectiveness and speed of its delivery system, it turns out to be a useful instrument both in clinical and research contexts
Foreword
No full textYou have a precious book in your hands. It is one of the very few works in which parenting and perinatal are addressed in an anthropological perspective, integrating attachment theory, infant research, neuroscience, and finally taking into account the function not only of the mother, but also that of the father in child development and well-being. In a period in which the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way of life around the world and put the Western way of life (influenced by economic and commercial factors) in serious crisis, Dr. Sansone referred to the enhancement of past experiences and to the wisdom that can be found in ancient habits and cultures, but still present in many populations of Africa and Asia

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
La scuola che accoglie le famiglie per il benessere dei bambini.
No full textIn anni recenti sempre maggior interesse è stato rivolto ai servizi educativi nella promozione del benessere dei bambini. Utilizzando pertanto un tipo di approccio che valorizza il sistema di relazioni del bambino, un tema fondamentale per analizzare l'incontro tra famiglia e contesto educativo è l'accoglienza. Si tratta di una tematica centrale, arricchita anche dalla necessità sociale di integrare e accogliere anche culture diverse, che affonda le sue radici in decenni di riflessione psicologica sulla relazione madre-bambino e madre-educatore e sulla accettazione ed inserimento della diade nella sua complessità, sulla comunicazione affettiva e simbolica tra partners, sul contenimento e la rielaborazione dei contenuti emotivi dell'altro
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
