introduzione
No full textL’identificazione dei fattori di protezione, in relazione all’abuso all’infanzia, e la definizione di interventi differenziati finalizzati alla prevenzione primaria, secondaria e terziaria, hanno esortato la riflessione sulle variabili che agevolano dinamiche relazionali funzionali al benessere della famiglia e del minore, come ad esempio la flessibilità dell’individuo nell’adattamento e nell’azione o, ancora, le strategie di resilienza sviluppate dai minori.
Inoltre in questo contributo sono oggetto di attenzione le rappresentazioni sociali, quindi le categorie mentali con le quali gente comune e operatori dei servizi percepiscono ed elaborano determinati eventi sociali (abuso e abusanti). La lettura di questi ultimi, spesso influenzata dai fenomeni mediatici, implica infatti sequenze di interpretazioni e di interventi che mettono in gioco competenze e rappresentazioni
la formazione psicodinamica dell'operatore
No full textLa psicologia giuridica trova un fruttuoso ambito di ricerca, intervento e formazione anche nel sistema penale. In quest’ultimo si definiscono i contesti che hanno come protagonisti i minori e gli adulti che possono transitare verso la devianza e/o la criminalità. Situazioni ove si inseriscono i servizi e gli operatori dei quali ben illustrano ruoli e funzioni gli autori dei capitoli del volume, e nei quali occupa una posizione significativa la reazione sociale con la quale la giustizia e le scienze umane devono confrontarsi
INTRODUZIONE
No full textIl sistema dei servizi socio-sanitari presenti sul territorio presuppone un agire interprofessionale, una pratica collaborativa, nonché il confronto e la valorizzazione delle competenze degli operatori coinvolti, e la condivisione delle pratiche e degli interventi a favore dell’utenza (Caltagirone 2017). Tematiche oggetto di attenzione, e di riflessione, anche di insegnamenti accademici che rappresentano il frutto di percorsi intensi realizzati sia nell’ambito delle scienze umane sia in quello delle scienze giuridiche. Il motivo di tale interesse è facilmente comprensibile: l’esigenza di cogliere la salienza del rapporto che lega l’individuo, e la collettività, alle norme e ai servizi. Questi ultimi, quando contemplati dalla normativa nell’ambito civile cosi come nel penale, richiedono la presenza di operatori sociali e operatori giuridici
Violence Against Men and Its Effects Within the Workplace: A Literature Review
Full text linkOver the years, there has been increasing interest in violence against women and its significant effects on victims. However, there has been comparatively little interest regarding violence against men and its effects within the workplace. This is despite the fact that scholarly research has highlighted the frequency of this phenomenon, further exacerbated by the poor functioning of support services, which intensifies distress among male victims. The present review focused on examining publications indexed in bibliographic databases (Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science) from the years 2012–2023 to comprehend the contemporary landscape of academic literature concerning
violence against men, along with its implications within the workplace. A total of 20 studies met inclusion criteria, and all selected papers focused on male victims of violence were included in this review. The results highlight the significant presence of male victims within the context of genderbased violence and harassment, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence. This literature review additionally highlights that social representation and gender stereotypes seem to contribute to the low demand for intervention by victims and the imbalance in their effects on the public and
practitioners. Moreover, the results underscore the intricate and profound repercussions of violence against men within the workplace. This review, offering an overview of existing research in this field, emphasizes the necessity for future research to enhance understanding of quantitative methodologies and to facilitate specialized training for practitioners. Hence, it becomes imperative to actively identify interventions tailored to safeguarding the well-being of male victims of violence
The effect of perspective taking on the mediation process
Full text linkBackground: Previous research demonstrated several benefits of strategic perspective taking in the field of intergroup relations and, more specifically, in the negotiation processes aimed at conflict resolution. The present study, which analyzes the effect of perspective taking and mediation in a conflict setting, corroborates the psychological models that hypothesize the positive effects of the assumption of the competitor'ss perspective on having intergroup conflict and lessening of negative consequences. Materials and methods: After being involved in an epistolary debate on a topic for which their ingroup had very contrasting views compared to an outgroup, participants were asked to use a feeling thermometer to assess their level of intergroup hostility. Mediation was then used as a conflict-resolution strategy for half of the participants. Furthermore, the assumption of perspective was manipulated, resulting in a 2 (conflict: presence vs absence) × 2 (perspective taking: presence vs absence) × 2 (mediation: presence vs absence) between-subjects design. Finally, participants were asked to use the same feeling thermometer to evaluate whether feelings of hostility diminished. Results: The results show that in conflict situations, the level of hostility decreases the most when the mediation process is accompanied by perspective taking. Conclusion: The results extend recent results about the advantages of a significant social ability – perspective taking – for improving intergroup relations
Immigrant prisoners in Italy. Cultural mediation to reduce social isolation and increase migrant prisoner well-being?
No full textPurpose
This study aims to highlight how easy it is for immigrants to break Italian law because of the country’s inadequate cultural and linguistic mediation service. Insufficiencies in this service also have a negative impact on both the psychological and physical health of migrant prisoners. Furthermore, Italian is used in legal disputes and prison, and reference is made to Italian culture, preventing migrants from understanding their position regarding the law.
Design/methodology/approach
This report concerns the psychological discomfort of migrant incarcerated individuals within Italian prisons due to national laws in force. Consideration is also given to the negative impact on the physical health of incarcerated migrants.
Findings
Best practice should include adequate space for linguistic and cultural mediation in reception centres and prisons. It is considered suitable to combat social exclusion, even in prison.
Research limitations/implications
The report is not research on prisoners, but it focuses on making visible the condition of migrant individuals incarcerated in Italy.
Social implications
Enforced isolation does not allow immigrants to become a community resource but has negative repercussions in terms of financial, social and well-being costs.
Originality/value
This paper is one of few in limited, national or otherwise scientific output, to contribute to migrant inmate visibility in Italy. Taking action for the well-being of migrant prisoners will not only have a positive impact on a social level but should also help reintegrate these individuals after serving their sentence
The welfare of immigrants: Resilience and sense of community
No full textThe accessibility to national health services by immigrants residing in our country has produced a widespread improve- ment of health indicators and health prevention for the entire population. The main goal of this study is to investigate the welfare conditions of immigrants, alongside two fundamental sources of psychological resources. In particular, the role of resilience and sense of community as protective factors against the risk of developing negative welfare outcomes, including life satisfaction and the perception of general health (physical and mental), were considered as indicators. The following self- report questionnaires were sent to a sample of 354 immi- grants, stratified by ethnicity and gender: Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS), General Health Questionnaire, CD-RISC 10 Scale, and the Sense of Community Index SCI-2. The results obtained through regression models show how resilience and a sense of community are significant protective factors in terms of life satisfaction and general health. From an applicative point of view, it is highlighted that public and political bodies take a leading role in the design of public health interventions; in fact, their intervention should be aimed at increasing the psychological resources and ability to fulfill the health needs of specific populations
