Psicoterapia della vecchiaia: dubbi e interrogativi per avvicinarsi a qualche risposta
No full textIn questo lavoro viene affrontata la trattabilità dell’anziano con la presentazione di tre casi clinici. Le autrici ipotizzano una serie di analogie e differenze tra il lavoro con gli adolescenti e quello con gli anziani.A partire dal processo di soggettivazione l’esperienza analitica con gli adolescenti può costituire una buon riferimento teorico e tecnico per il trattamento con gli anziani. Vengono quindi discusse alcune problematiche quali la domanda di aiuto, il setting, il rapporto con i familiari, il problema del tempo, la labilità emotiva, la scissione mente corpo. Il recupero di un transfert narcisistico si rivela, nel trattamento con gli adolescenti e con gli anziani, particolarmente utile per attivare o riattivare una dimensione generativa della creatività
Quando Narciso invecchia
No full textQuesto lavoro si inserisce all’interno di una più ampia riflessione sulla psicoterapia con gli anziani. In particolare, guarda al tema del narcisismo in età avanzata, mettendolo in rapporto con le ferite inferte all’onnipotenza, che non smette mai di abitare la psiche. Vengono illustrati i casi clinici di tre uomini ottantenni, ciascuno impegnato a gestire il lutto della propria moglie, in un’epoca come la nostra in cui il dolore dell’invecchiamento viene spesso tenuto lontano attraverso numerose manovre difensive anche di tipo collettivo, che inducono a rincorrere successo, giovinezza, dinamismo. L’ipotesi di fondo è che con le persone anziane con un nucleo narcisistico, possa essere necessario ripartire proprio dal loro narcisismo spezzato, risignificandolo, affinché possa essere rilanciato un investimento libidico. Il terapeuta, accettando di oscillare tra un transfert narcisistico e un transfert oggettuale, può aiutare il paziente, anche molto anziano, a recuperare una propria dimensione generativa e vitale
Genitori e figli: quando i ruoli si invertono.
No full textCon il presente studio desideriamo mettere in luce il faticoso lavoro di Individuazione-Separazione che i figli adulti sono chiamati a rinnovare quando i genitori invecchiano e diventano dipendenti. In questo “giro di boa” è richiesto ai figli di divenire per certi versi “il genitore del proprio genitore”, passaggio molto arduo da compiere e a rischio di confusione soprattutto se nei figli, nei genitori e tra di loro agisce “un’inconscia mescolanza”. A partire dalla leggenda di Enea che si carica sulle spalle il vecchio padre Anchise, vengono qui prposte alcune riflessioni teoriche riguardanti la dolorosa separazione dai genitori anziani. Attraverso l’esemplificazione di alcuni flash clinici intendiamo illustrare il lavoro con cui il terapeuta aiuta il paziente a entrare in un processo individuativo, che si svolge sul versante intrapsichico, ma che richiede anche una forte attenzione al versante intersoggettivo, affinché venga raggiunta quella condizione di separatezza che permetta al figlio adulto di portare sulle proprie spalle la vecchiaia del genitore senza soccombere sotto il peso delle proiezioni incrociate
TRIPLEx: Triple Extraction for Explanation
No full textTransformer-based models are used to solve a va-riety of Natural Language Processing tasks. Still, these models are opaque and poorly understandable for their users. Current approaches to explainability focus on token importance, in which the explanation consists of a set of tokens relevant to the prediction, and natural language explanations, in which the explanation is a generated piece of text. The latter are usually learned by design with models traind end-to-end to provide a prediction and an explanation, or rely on powerful external text generators to do the heavy lifting for them. In this paper we present TRIPLEX, an explainability algorithm for Transformer-based models fine-tuned on Natural Language Inference, Semantic Text Similarity, or Text Classification tasks. TRIPLEX explains Transformers-based models by extracting a set of facts from the input data, subsuming it by abstraction, and generating a set of weighted triples as explanation
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Suicide by a rifle with a muzzle brake: a particular entrance wound
No full textThe authors describe a case in which a 21-year-old male committed suicide using a rifle equipped with a muzzle brake, placed in contact with his head. A muzzle brake for firearms is a device positioned at the mouth of a weapon, which dissipates the gases, that are generated subsequent to the gun being discharged. Generally, when a gun is pressed against an anatomical region, where the skin lies on the bone surface without interposition of other soft parts, the entrance wound consists of many lacerated branches, originating from a central lack of tissue. In this case report, the use of a rifle with a muzzle brake generated an unexpected wound, circular in shape, with a diameter of 0.8 cm. This lesion was surrounded by a bruised area, circular in shape, and an abrasion collar of the height of 0.5 cm. In addition, a muzzle imprint mark consisting of intradermal bruises, composed of a narrow red line concentrically encircling the entrance hole, was found. In order to analyze in detail if this particular entrance wound could be associated with a weapon equipped with the muzzle brake, ballistic tests–with weapons compatible with that used by the victim–were performed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
