Ten years of Italian historiography of Psychology: A Field in progress.
No full textAn article published in this same journal in 2003 traced the itinerary of the historiography of psychology in Italy from the 1970s up to the threshold of the 21st century (Cimino & Dazzi, 2003).
This article briefly outlines a picture of the activities and research conducted in Italy on the history of psychology during the last 10 years, focusing its attention on institutions, scholars, conferences, archives, journals, and so forth. At the dawn of the 21st century, the tradition of historical-psychological studies that developed in the last quarter of the 20th century has led to a renewed situation in teaching organization and research, with the emergence of several groups, especially at the universities of Rome “Sapienza,” Bari, Milan-Bicocca, and Urbino, and of a second generation of young historians increasingly engaged on an international level. After a general survey conducted with historiometric method on the principal areas of research cultivated and on the themes dealt with, we mention a change that has occurred in the historiographical approach, a transition from a historiography addressed prevalently to the “history of ideas” to one that, pursuing the approach of a new and critical “multifactorial” history, proves to be more attentive to the social and institutional history, in correspondence with established international trends

No full textPurpose The aim of the study was to ascertain whether a Cimino First policy can be implemented successfully in tertiary practice using a standardized technique. Methods This is a retrospective study. All first radial-cephalic (Cimino) fistulas placed by a single surgeon in incident patients were studied. A standardized surgical technique was used paying attention to the dorsal cephalic branch. No balloon maturation or early surveillance was performed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis using survfit function in R (Vienna) was applied. Results Fifty-seven (69%) of 83 new accesses were radial cephalic fistulas. Of these, 44 (77.2%) were men. The patients were aged 17 to 83 (mean 54.1; SD 14.6) years. Whites comprised of 21 (36.8%), maori 18 (31.6%), and pacific islanders 16 (28.1%). Comorbidities included diabetes in 32 (56.1%), hypertension in 47 (82.5%), and hyperlipidemia in 25 (46.3%; n=54). Twenty-six (45.6%) were pre-dialysis. Mean body mass index was 30.74 (SD 6.9) Kg/m2 (n=56). Mean vein diameter was 3.3 mm (range 2.1–6.2 mm; n=36). Twenty-six (45.6%) had had previous central lines. Forty-four (77.2%) fistulas matured. Mean maturation time was 14.0 weeks. Thirty-six (63.2%) were used for dialysis while eight patients remained pre-dialysis with patent fistulas. Primary patency at one year and 18 months was 69.2% and 57.4% respectively. The figures for assisted primary patency were 85.6% and 72.3% respectively. Secondary patency was 87.6% and 83.9% at one and two years. Conclusions Cimino fistulas can be performed in a majority of patients with good results using a standardized surgical technique. The importance of the dorsal cephalic branch needs to be studied. </jats:sec
Clinical psychology and psychotherapy in Italy during the second half of the 20th century
No full textThe article describes the most important events that, in the 1960s and 1970s, contributed to the development of modern clinical psychology and psychotherapy in Italy. In a conference organised in Milan in 1952 by the most authoritative Italian psychologist of the time, the Franciscan friar Agostino Gemelli, the methods and limits of clinical psychology were outlined and defined. In this way the discipline was legitimised, although it was placed under the tutelage of psychiatry. Clinical psychology eventually freed itself from this subordination, evolving in line with international trends to become one of the main fields of applied psychology, thanks to the contribution of at least four events: 1) the affirmation of psychoanalysis by the school of Cesare Musatt and as a result of the endeavours of Gemelli’s students; 2) the acceptance, on the part of the Catholic Church, of psychoanalysis as a therapeutic treatment in the face of distress and mental disturbance; 3) the scientific-cultural and political activity of Adriano Ossicini and Pier Francesco Galli, which opened the door to new psychotherapeutic theories and techniques; and 4)the closure of mental institutions (Basaglia Law, 1978) encouraged by anti-institutionalpsychiatry, and the new forms of treatment of mental illness practiced in therapeutic communities. This article reconstructs the vicissitudes of regulating the clinical psychologist and psychotherapist professions in relation to the diverse psychotherapeutic practices exercised in Italy since the 1970s
