Relational Competence and Alexithymia: How are they Related?
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to present two case studies illustrating the possible relatedness between alexithymia (Sifneos, 1973) and the ERAAwC Model of Relational Competence Theory (L'Abate, 1983)to verify whether the five components of the ERAAwC model can help explain the alexithymia construct in the clinical context
Alexithymia Dimensions as Parenting Challenges
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to relate the construct of alexithymia (Sifneos, 1973)with the relational competence theory (L'Abate, 1983), and in particular the ERAAwC model. To understand the construct of alexithymia and explain it in light of the relational competence theory, it is crucial to focus one’s attention on the role and management of emotions and affections in people’s lives: according to the ERAAwC model, the start of our entering into relation with others is linked to how each of us feel, accepts or avoids emotions in response to what is happening to us internally or externally. In this sense, alexithymia, i.e. the “without words to express feelings” may be seen as an avoidance of feelings and emotions within the relational context. In order to better understand these aspects, this work focuses on a context – that of a family with a disabled child – where feelings and emotions are highly strained in order to understand how “feelings” are managed, accepted or avoided in a specific relational context
Problemi emotivo-comportamentali nei bambini tra 3 e 5 anni:assessment, fattori di rischio e fattori protettivi
No full textLa presente ricerca nasce da una domanda di un territorio specifico che si è interrogato relativamente ai problemi emotivo-comportamentali dei bambini in età prescolare
Tale richiesta ci ha sollecitato da un punto di vista teorico a porre l’attenzione da un lato, sul significato “clinico” dei problemi emotivo-comportamentali dei bambini, dall’altro sul processo di assessment e in particolar modo sulla prospettiva multi-informant . Tale prospettiva è stata nello specifico oggetto di riflessione e indagine empirica soprattutto nel primo studio dove si sono considerate con particolare attenzione le discrepanze tra gli informant e il loro possibile significato.
La domanda di ricerca iniziale si è quindi ampliata fino ad affrontare l’individuazione dei fattori protettivi e di rischio nello sviluppo psicologico dei bambini in età prescolare. A questo proposito il secondo studio propone un modello multifattoriale per la comprensione delle problematiche emotivo-comportamentali dei bambini che tiene conto di aspetti individuali e di aspetti relazionali, familiari in primo luogo. Infine, il terzo studio vede l’utilizzo del modello teorico proposto nei i primi due studi su di un campione di genitori che si sono rivolti a un servizio territoriale arrivando a identificare gli elementi del modello che discriminano famiglie considerate normali da quelle definibili come cliniche.This research developed from a need to answer specific questions about emotional-behavioral problems in preschool children. From a theoretical point of view, this need forced one to focus on the “clinical” meaning of emotional-behavioral problems in pre-school children and their assessment processes, especially from a multi-informant perspective. Particularly, this perspective was a topic of interest in an empirical investigation in the first study, where discrepancies between informants and their possible perceptions were considered with particular attention. The initial research question was expanded to deal with the identification of risk and protective factors in the psychological development of preschool children. On this regard, the second study proposed a multi-factorial model to understand the emotional and behavioral problems of children which took into account individual and relational aspects, including especially the family. Finally, the third study considered the use of a theoretical model proposed in the first two studies with a sample of parents who turned for help to social services to identify from the model critical elements that discriminated families which could be considered functional from those defined as clinical
Family Environment Scale
No full textThe Family Environment Scale (FES) assesses the social climates of all types of families. It focuses on the measurement and description of the interpersonal relationships among family members, on the directions of personal growth which are emphasized in the family, and on the basic organizational structure of the family (Moos, Insel, Humphrey, 1974, p.3)
Relational Competence Theory: Research and Mental Health Applications
No full textThe purpose of this book is to elaborate and update with recent and relevant research a contextual and developmental relational competence theory (RTC) in intimate/nonintimate relationships. The volume opens out the RTC literature with emphasis on its applicability to interventions examining what is robust and verifiable both in the lab and the clinic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
