No full textThe onset of an illness such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in pediatric
oncology is considered a traumatic event, not only for the child, but also for parents
accompanying their child’s difficult therapeutic process; a child’s cancer is
seen as a “family illness” with consequences that affect all its members (Kazak
et al., 2005; Martino, Freda, & Camera, 2013). The well-being of the child is
ensured by the ability of the parents to maintain the stability and cohesion of the
family adapting to a changing environment (Jones et al., 2010).In general, research agrees that parents experience a variety of emotions, such
as shock, disbelief, fear, anxiety, despair, sadness, anger, guilt, loss of control, and
posttraumatic stress, as a result of the diagnosis (Jurbergs et al., 2009; Santacroce,
2002). Parent’s psychological stress, uncertainty, and loneliness can persist even
up to 5 years or more after treatment cessation often resulting in psychopathological
outcomes (Jantien Vrijmoet-Wiersma et al., 2008; Maurice-Stam et al., 2008;
Norberg et al., 2006; Rodriguez et al., 2012)
La salute come bene comune sostenibile
No full textIn recent decades we have witnessed an acceleration of technological, scientific and cultural expansion that has radically transformed the scenarios of social life, generated important opportunities, but also introduced issues relating to the sustainability of the process itself. Even in the health sector, the developments in scientific and technological knowledge have brought about changes that do not include only the field of medicine, but involve ethical, social, economic and, obviously psychological, issues. Sustainability is a question that is transversal to contemporaneity which, in order to be addressed, requires the establishment of a transdisciplinary field of knowledge. In light of this scenario, the author proposes the reference to Health Psychology as the fundamental vertex of a transdisciplinary field of knowledge that contributes to the development of a model of health as a sustainable common good

The genetic counseling: Toward a medical-psychological integrated model
No full textIn this paper, authors intend to define the communication process of genetic counseling through a short theoretical excursus about its evolution and its meaning. They analyze the discourse about the care relationship between counselor/counsulees and the space given to the psychological profession in this intervention context. The aim is to explore existential implications that the choice to request genetic counseling, as well as to have genetic test, has in the probands' lives. Therefore, the main focus is on psychological aspects based on the informative process, concerning the utility to have genetic test and the impact of genetic results communication (negative/positive) and on the decision-making process, concerning the preliminary stage of genetic counseling request, as much as the final one of consultation process, with all consequences of knowing/not knowing

From Medicalizing Discourse to Situated Practices. From Reification to Semiotization of Processes of Sensemaking: The Function of Psychological Scaffolding in the Experience of the Disease Within the Healthcare Relationship.
No full textConfronted with the illness, people live a crisis of continuity of their systems of
meaning, of their social and professional routines, of their relational and emotional
ties. In general, a person struggling with a disease lives a biographical event of discontinuity
that questions her own subjectivity. The traumatic issue from a psychological
point of view is mainly due to sudden and unexpected rupture of signifying systems that found the relation between the subject and the external world and to the interruption of processes of temporal continuity of one’s own experience
Health: A Current Challenge for the Idiographic Sciences
No full textThis is the eighth volume of the Yearbook of Idiographic Science, the editorial
project aimed at rethinking idiographic sciences in a new (old) light. This editorial
series has been trying over the years to promote reflection, discussions and
proposals by researchers and scholars of every background and from around the
world.
The focus of this volume is health. As in previous editions, it has triggered
great ferment, dialogue and debate, as well as elaborations and insights from different
points of view. The volume reflects multiple perspectives and many different
theoretical approaches—epistemological, medical, philosophical, semiotic,
narrative, psychodynamic, hermeneutic, existentialist-phenomenological—and it
also collects research reports and psychosocial interventions, extending its interest
to a range of different contexts. Despite the fact that it is quite hard to define,
health has passed under the scrutiny of a wide spectrum of epistemic instruments
Idiographic approach on Health. VIII Volume of Yearbook of Idiographic Sciences.
No full textThe concept of health is a challenge of great complexity in terms of theoretical, methodological and intervention within the idiographic frame.
Health cannot be considered an abstract condition, but a means, a resource aimed at achieving objectives that relate to the ability of people to lead their lives in a productive way - individually, socially, and economically. Health is a process that is not based on the definition of standards and categories on the basis of which typifying the states of health. Rather, it has to be considered a process, on a large scale and on many entangled levels, aimed at generating a culture of the health as a resource for individuals and communities and to promote skills needed to transform these resources into developmental goals.
The notion of health, indeed, defined and interpreted in terms of "state" and not of process, meets the immediate paradox of being an indicator of normativity by reason of which we risk a proliferation of new and potentially infinite forms of "deviation". The approach of the idiographic sciences (see previous volumes of the Yearbook Idiographic Science Series, by same publisher IAP) considers that every psychological process (but in general every process, from organic to the social and cultural ones) is characterized by a contextual, situated and contingent dynamics. That dynamics is always characterized by a never-ending opening of its cycles and great variability. Conditions of stagnation and hypostatization are characteristic of all forms of disease (physical, mental and social) that sclerotize relational links between people and their environments. Health is therefore a process that presents oscillation in the same way of any developmental process that has moments of crisis and rupture in order to re-organize new forms of relationship with the social and cultural environment.
This book represent a fruitful way to deep many cogent issues and to dialogue with an idiographic perspective in order to discuss the concept of health, to define its cultural meanings and possible polysemy (e.g., wellness, care, hygiene, quality of life, resilience, prevention, healing, deviation/normality, subjective potentiality for development, etc.), its areas of pertinence and intervention (somatic, psychological, social) trying to offer possible alternatives to the "normalization" of health and creating new incentives for the reflection
The relationship between paediatrician and mother: The pediatricians point of view constrains and lines of development
No full textThe study proposes to reflect on the relationships between pediatricians and families focused on the couple paediatrician-mother, as interlocutor and privileged player of the activities of diagnosis and care in childish age, especially analyzing the points of strength and weakness, the functional and dysfunctional aspects, the constrains and the lines of development. The study proposes also to reflect on how such models of meaning that organized this relationship make them changing in specific models of meaning of the function and the role of the psychologist within the own professional activity. In such perspective an exploratory survey has been done through the management of 56 deepen interviews with a narrative method with pediatricians of base that work in Campania region. Now will be discuss on some models of meanings that organize the professional act of paediatrician in the relationship with mothers and will be analyze some hypothesis on the possibility of a psychological support to this relationship
