Application of the Lausanne Trilogue Play Procedure to Families with Adolescent Sons: A Preliminary Study. L'Osservazione delle interazioni familiari in adolescenza: Studio preliminare sull'applicazione della procedura del Lausanne Trilogue Play.
No full textThe study focuses on the application of the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP) procedure for the observation of triad interaction among mother-father-child in adolescence and it intends to provide a preliminary contribution to the validation of the coding system of the procedure (FAAS 6.3). For this purpose, the LT P procedure was administered to 3 groups of families (N = 58): a group of families referred to Neuropsychiatry Unit (SC IAF), a group of families with a child admitted to residential treatment for Substance Use Disorders and a comparison group. Results indicated good levels of inter-rater reliability and clinical validity for the LT P procedure and the coding system proposed by the author
Developmental trajectories of the mother-infant attachment bond and their behavioural and (neuro)physiological correlates: a research in progress.
Full text linkA growing interest has been devoted to the definition of integrated approaches for the study of
behavioural and neuro-bio-physiological correlates of affective-relational development, in terms of
precursors and basis of the organization of attachment. The research can be divided as follow: a)
studies that investigated the infant’s early interactive competences and their role on the development
of attachment at 12 months through stressful observational situations and the analysis of behavioral
indicators. These studies highlighted inter-individual differences in affect, attention, touch and
spatial orientation during the infant-caregiver interactions that seem then to be predictive of later
attachment; b) studies which used classical experimental paradigm of cognitive and affective
neuroscience (pc-monitor stimuli) and stressed that in the 1st year, infants are already able to process
face and eye gaze and to perceive others’ emotions and actions; c) studies focused on emotion
regulation strategies integrating interactive abilities with neural and physiological correlates in 12
and 18 month-old infants which contributed to highlight the main role of the prefrontal cortex in the
emotion processing. Anyway, at our knowledge no research about the early forerunners of infant
attachment and their behavioral and neuro-bio-physiological correlates measured during “in vivo”
interactions are currently available. Starting from this perspective the present work is to describe an
original research project that through a longitudinal design and stressful separation-reunion paradigm
proposes to investigate behavioral (self-regulation strategies), physiological (cortisol and vagal tone)
and neural (cerebral hemodynamic flux) correlates of infant-caregiver interactions at 3, 6, 9, and
infant attachment at 12 months
Preliminary adjustment of family alliance assessment scales to adolescence phase.
Full text linkIntroduction: we present the first qualitative steps in the adaptation and validation of an observational tool for father-mother-infant interactions in adolescence. It develops from the Lausanne Trilogue Play application (Fivaz-Depeursinge and Corboz-Warnery, 1999) to adolescent patients in a Neuropsychiatric Unit for Children and Adolescents project: ―LTP used as a psychodiagnostic and therapeutic tool for psychiatric children and adolescents‖. Our aim is to find out relevant changes to the LTP and to the Family Alliance Assessment Scales (FAAS 6.3, Favez, Lavanchy Scaiola, Tissot, Darwiche, Frascarolo, 2011) in order to fit families with adolescents interactive peculiarities. Methods: 66 families with pre-adolescents (n = 34, 11-14 years old) and adolescents (n = 32, 15-18 years old). Observation and study of relevant communication skills, non verbal language and interactive dynamics in adolescence. Adjustment of setting, activity and scoring system. Results: setting change only for the presence of the table between the family partners. Concerning to the activity it seems that a conversational theme as weekend organization or birthday party involve all the families partners. Analysing each LTP variables we have noticed that for some of these it seems to be important to insert some additional declaration in the coding system. In particular for ―postures and looks‖ both for the presence of the table and in line with adolescent communication and non- verbal signals; for ―roles‖ in line with the more active contribution of the adolescent to the activity and to the family system than the infant do; ―co-construction and scaffolding‖ variables characteristics are modulated to adolescents peculiarities focusing both on verbal and non-verbal language. Finally a deep discussion is emerged about the modulation of affective variables concerning to the high level of conflict, a central characteristic of individuation-separation process in adolescence. Conclusions: preliminary statistical analysis for the validation of this scoring system are in process
Non suicidal self-injury in adolescence (NSSI). From the descriptive perspective to the motivational dimension
No full textSummary. Non suicidal self-injury (NSSI) – a largely diffused problem among adolescents – can be defined as a repetitive behaviour that damages the surface of the body without suicidal intent. In the last few years, the large diffusion of this practice required an increased attention of the psychiatric community and it led to the inclusion of the NSSI in the DSM-5 as a condition in need of further studies. This paper is located in the direction of this comprehension process. Specifically, through a review of the literature, the focus of the study is intentionally extended from the descriptive dimension to the motivational dimension, in order to deepen some of the meanings underlying the self-injury behavior
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

Le donne comprendono le informazioni sul Test Integrato Completo?
No full textINTRODUZIONE : in letteratura è stato ampiamente discusso il tema concernente la scelta informata in ambito di diagnosi prenatale che prevede che le donne una abbiano un adeguato bagaglio conoscitivo sia cognitivo che emotivo prima di decidere se sottoporsi al test. L’obiettivo principale della ricerca ivi presentata si propone di indagare se le donne che scelgono di sottoporsi al Test Integrato Completo abbiano un sufficiente livello di comprensione delle informazioni fornite dai medici attraverso la brochure informativa. Il secondo obiettivo della ricerca, non realizzato, concerne l’area etica ed emotiva ovvero rilevare i livelli di ansia e depressione e la percezione del rapporto di coppia.
METODO: in collaborazione con l’Unità Operativa di Ostetricia e Ginecologia alle donne gravide che hanno scelto di sottoporsi al Test Integrato Completo è stato consegnato un questionario sulla comprensione delle informazioni contenute nella brochure informativa (questionario creato ad hoc composto da 20 item); la compilazione del questionario è avvenuta in ospedale durante l’attesa del primo o del secondo prelievo.
RISULTATI: è stato reclutato un campione di 199 donne tutte di etnia europea e che utilizzano come prima lingua l’italiano. Dall’analisi statistica emerge come le tematiche meno comprese (risposte sbagliate) sono la sensibilità del test (59.80%) e l’esame diagnostico indicato per valore elevato dell’AFP(53.27%); le tematiche che sollevano più dubbi (risposte non so) sono il significato di risultato aumentato e il concetto di probabilità (20 – 30%); le tematiche più comprese (risposte corrette) sono la tempistica dei prelievi, l’utilità e in cosa consiste il Test integrato Completo (94 – 96%).
CONCLUSIONI: dalla ricerca è emerso come le donne abbiano un livello di comprensione delle informazioni contenute nella brochure informativa abbastanza elevato. Tale dato fa propendere verso l’ipotesi che le donne si sottopongano al Test Integrato Completo sulla base di un’autentica scelta informata per quanto concerne l’area cognitiva; ricerche future dovranno indagare l’area etica ed emotiva
