No full textThe Clinical Utility of the Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research: A Review of Studies
No full textBackground: The Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) are a set of 12 psychosomatic syndromes and are provided with a reliable diagnostic structured interview. The DCPR have been proposed 20 years ago as an integrative assessment strategy that supplements the traditional psychiatric nosography for identifying patients within a given illness population whose psychosocial factors have clinical significance. This paper reviews their clinical utility, conceived as the degree and the amount of influence that the instrument has on multiple decisions and outcomes in clinical practice. Methods: Published reports which involved the use of the DCPR were identified by searching electronic databases. Studies which best displayed the clinical utility of the DCPR system were then selected and reviewed. Results: The DCPR system showed its clinical utility regarding the following clinical issues: (1) subtyping medical patients, (2) identifying subthreshold or undetected syndromes, (3) evaluating the burden of somatic syndromes, and (4) predicting treatment outcomes and identifying risk factors. Conclusions: The DCPR may help clinicians during the assessment process to recognize clinical conditions underlying symptom presentation, with important therapeutic and prognostic implications

‘TESTAMENTUM PORCELLI’
No full textThe ‘Testamentum Porcelli’SummaryThis paper is a translation and commentary of the anonymous fourth-century pamphlet referred as the Testamentum Porcelli. Notwithstanding the humorous nature of the work, it became the subject of scholarly dispute focused on its actual meaning and potential author. The main concepts, together with the characters associated with them, are presented in footnotes and commentaries with an explanation of particular issues, e.g. the structure of the text, Roman law, and allusions to pagan festivals and customs.</jats:p
I test che lo psicologo deve conoscere
No full textSviluppato all’inizio del XX secolo dallo psichiatra svizzero Herman Rorschach (1884-1922), il Rorschach Inkblot Method è senz’altro uno dei test psicologici più noti e utilizzati in ambito clinico (Searles, 2017). Macchie d’inchiostro a fini “diagnostici” erano già usate a fine ‘800 ma a Rorschach (che pubblica il test nel 1921) – come notava Anzieu (1960) – va riconosciuta l’originalità di aver trasformato l’uso delle macchie d’inchiostro in test di personalità e non più di immaginazione. Rispetto agli autori che lo avevano preceduto, non era il contenuto delle associazioni dei soggetti che contava ma l’approccio percettivo al compito. Per complesse vicende e alterne fortune, il test si diffuse molto più tardi nel secondo ‘900 e si dovette aspettare il 1942 per la prima traduzione in inglese (Exner, 1969), il 1951 per il primo manuale europeo scritto (Bohm, 1951) e il 1981 per la traduzione italiana. Nel corso del ‘900, sia negli stati Uniti che in Europa, sono stati sviluppati diversi sistemi di siglatura e interpretazione che hanno poco in comune fra di loro, se non l’uso delle 10 tavole standard. Tanto che, quando si fa riferimento al test di Rorschach si fa riferimento alle 10 tavole standard di cui è composto, cinque in bianco e nero (I, IV, V, VI, VII) e cinque a colori (II, III, VIII, IX, X). In virtù di questa diversità, esistono in realtà tanti test di Rorschach quanti sono i sistemi sviluppati negli anni. Questa “babele” di linguaggi ha ostacolato la credibilità scientifica del test e creato le condizioni per un modello unificatore, psicometricamente affidabile e valido, accettato dalla comunità scientifica, cioè il Comprehensive System (CS) di John E. Exner (1928-2006) nella seconda metà degli anni ’80
