A spatial mixed Poisson framework for combination of excess-of-loss and proportional reinsurance contracts
Full text linkIn this paper a purely theoretical reinsurance model is presented, where the reinsurance contract is assumed to be simultaneously of an excess-of-loss and of a proportional type. The stochastic structure of the set of pairs (claim’s arrival time, claim’s size) is described by a Spatial Mixed Poisson Process. By using an invariance property of the Spatial Mixed Poisson Processes, we estimate the amount that the ceding company obtains in a fixed time interval in force of the reinsurance contract

Evolution of the Dependence of Residual Lifetimes
Full text linkWe investigate the dependence properties of a vector of residual lifetimes by means of the copula associated with the conditional distribution function. In particular, the evolution of positive dependence properties (like quadrant dependence and total positivity) are analyzed and expressions for the evolution of measures of association are given

Clinical psychology and psychotherapy in Italy during the second half of the 20th century
No full textThe article describes the most important events that, in the 1960s and 1970s, contributed to the development of modern clinical psychology and psychotherapy in Italy. In a conference organised in Milan in 1952 by the most authoritative Italian psychologist of the time, the Franciscan friar Agostino Gemelli, the methods and limits of clinical psychology were outlined and defined. In this way the discipline was legitimised, although it was placed under the tutelage of psychiatry. Clinical psychology eventually freed itself from this subordination, evolving in line with international trends to become one of the main fields of applied psychology, thanks to the contribution of at least four events: 1) the affirmation of psychoanalysis by the school of Cesare Musatt and as a result of the endeavours of Gemelli’s students; 2) the acceptance, on the part of the Catholic Church, of psychoanalysis as a therapeutic treatment in the face of distress and mental disturbance; 3) the scientific-cultural and political activity of Adriano Ossicini and Pier Francesco Galli, which opened the door to new psychotherapeutic theories and techniques; and 4)the closure of mental institutions (Basaglia Law, 1978) encouraged by anti-institutionalpsychiatry, and the new forms of treatment of mental illness practiced in therapeutic communities. This article reconstructs the vicissitudes of regulating the clinical psychologist and psychotherapist professions in relation to the diverse psychotherapeutic practices exercised in Italy since the 1970s
“It’s the end of the word as we know it”. La condizione post-normale in psicopatologia
No full textThe article explores the notion of normality and its implications in psychopathology, highlighting the complexity and the historical and cultural variability of the concept. Starting from a critique of traditional psychopathology, the authors analyze how the idea of normality has been shaped by epistemological, social, and political factors, emphasizing the role of culture in defining what is considered “normal.” The historical roots of normality are examined, from Greek and Roman thought to modern psychological theories, showing how definitions have evolved over time, often reflecting dominant ideologies. The article discusses the contributions of key figures such as Basaglia, Szasz, and Hacking in deconstructing descriptive psychopathology and exposing the limitations of the positivist model. Finally, the concept of “post-normality” is introduced, offering a new perspective to interpret psychological and pathological dynamics in the contemporary context, characterized by complexity, fluidity, and global crises. This approach challenges rigid categorizations of normal and pathological, encouraging a more dynamic and adaptive reflection on the needs of modern psychopathology
Rank, Ferenczi, Reich: tre riforme della Psicoanalisi – tre uscite dal Movimento psicoanalitico
Full text linkGiuseppe Sergi tra pensiero positivista e impegno politico
No full textGiuseppe Sergi (1841-1936) – siciliano, garibaldino, evoluzionista, anticlericale e libero pensatore – fu uno scienziato e un naturalista poliedrico, figura di rilievo del positivismo di matrice evoluzionista fra Ottocento e Novecento. Fu un autore assai prolifico: si contano circa quattrocento lavori e i suoi interessi spaziarono dall’antropologia, alla psicologia, alla craniologia, all’antropologia criminale, alla caratterologia, alla filosofia, alla pedagogia, alla sociologia, alla giurisprudenza e alla biologia, con la convinzione, profondamente radicata nel suo animo di positivista, che la filosofia dovesse essere sostituita dall’antropologia, intesa come ‘scienza-contenitore’ che studiava l’uomo in tutti i suoi aspetti e che quindi includeva la sua dimensione anatomo-fisiologica, biologica, pedagogica, sociale, storica, ma soprattutto psicologica. Sergi è considerato, insieme con Roberto Ardigò (1828-1920) e Gabriele Buccola (1854-1885), lo studioso di prima generazione della nascente psicologia sperimentale italiana, colui che patrocinò con la sua attività scientifica e istituzionale la nascita della ‘nuova’ scienza psicologica. Egli formò a Roma una serie di studiosi di fama internazionale come Sante De Sanctis (1862-1935) e Maria Montessori (1870-1952). Tuttavia, nella storiografia psicologica italiana, Sergi è considerato un teorico della psicologia di laboratorio con un ruolo istituzionale marginale e con interessi nella psicologia sperimentale ristretti alla psicofisiologia. Questo articolo è invece finalizzato a far emergere il contesto sociale e
politico che vide la partecipazione militante di Sergi tra la fine dell’Ottocento e l’inizio del Novecento, mettendo in luce una particolare concezione interdisciplinare e applicativa della psicologia che porta a rileggere il ruolo da lui svolto nella psicologia italiana come il rappresentante di un positivismo impegnato, che in Italia così come in altri paesi europei rappresentò il tessuto entro cui la psicologia divenne scienza autonomaGiuseppe Sergi (1841-1936) – Sicilian, follower of Garibaldi, evolutionist, anti-clerical and freethinker – was a scientist and a multifaceted naturalist, an important Italian positivist between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He was a very prolific scholar: Sergi published about four hundred works and his interests ranged from anthropology, to psychology, to craniology, to criminal anthropology, to characterology, to philosophy, to pedagogy, to sociology, jurisprudence and biology, with the conviction, deeply rooted in his positivism, that philosophy should be replaced by a ‘natural science’ that studied man in all its aspects (anthropology). Sergi is considered, together with Roberto Ardigò and Gabriele Buccola, the first generation of Italian experimental psychologists; He was the one who firstly sponsored with his scientific and institutional activity the birth of the ‘new’ psychological science in Rome. Here he formed a series of internationally renowned scholars such as Sante De Sanctis and Maria Montessori. However, in Italian psychological historiography, Sergi is considered merely a theoretician of experimental psychology with a marginal institutional role and a researcher limited to psychophysiology. This article is instead aimed at bringing out the social and political context that saw Sergi’s participation as a political militant between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, highlighting a particular interdisciplinary and applicative conception of psychology that leads to a new interpretation of the role played, in Italian psychology, by Sergi as the representative of a politically committed positivism, which in Italy as well as in other European countries represented the fabric from which psychology became an autonomous scienc
