‐15: Validation and Potential Use
No full textSCORE-15 (Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation) is a 15-item questionnaire for completion by family members aged 12 years and older to assess outcomes in systemic therapy. This study aimed to investigate (a) the psychometric properties and the internal consistency reliability of the Italian version of SCORE-15, (b) clinical responsiveness, and (c) normative (Italian) criteria. Furthermore, (d) the study sought to evaluate the participants’ representation of both their family and their problems, analyzing open-ended questions included in the SCORE-15. Data were collected from two clinical centers for 208 families (n = 507). Results confirmed the three-factor structure (i.e., strengths, difficulties, and communication), a good internal consistency reliability, and indicated a cutoff threshold for the Italian version. Furthermore, results showed that SCORE-15 is a good instrument for clinical responsiveness and that it can be used to explore the way in which family members describe their families and problems. Overall, SCORE-15 is a brief, psychometrically robust family assessment instrument that may be used for both researchers and practitioners in several domains of clinical and social psychology

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
Le psicoterapie sistemico-relazionale: quale specificità?
No full textI setting dei terapeuti sistemico-relazionali sono diventati più flessibili. Questo libro, che prende spunto dal congresso internazionale della SIPPR svoltosi a Milano nel 2000, su Processi di trasformazione e cambiamento nelle terapie sistemico relazionali, testimonia la crescente riflessione sulle terapie sistemiche individuali, espressione del loro diffondersi nella pratica clinica . Si devono aggiungere le terapie sistemiche con gruppi di individui e i trattamenti con più famiglie con lo stesso problema. Infine non mancano nel volume i riferimenti alle strategie terapeutiche "a setting alternati pianificati", in cui il cambiamento di setting è già previsto e pianificato all'inizio del trattamento.
Questa flessibilità di setting è il frutto di cambiamenti teorici che hanno restituito centralità all'individuo e alla soggettività, ma anche di importanti trasformazioni sociali. Basti pensare alla accresciuta presenza nella pratica clinica di famiglie ricomposte e segmentate in sottosistemi legalmente scissi, all'individualismo, di cui è sempre più permeata la nostra vita quotidiana, e all'affermarsi di una cultura egualitaria non soltanto nella famiglia ma anche nei processi di cura.
Come conseguenza di tutti questi fenomeni, la pratica dei terapeuti sistemici è cambiata. Ed è un cambiamento che ci apre al dialogo con gli altri modelli terapeutici. Il volume reca traccia di questo scambio più intenso. Molti contributi si confrontano con concetti e settori della psicoanalisi e del cognitivismo. La specificità delle terapie sistemiche non è più individuata nella famiglia ma in un modello di interpretazione e cura del disagio psichico fondato sul soggetto "contestuale", vero protagonista di queste pagine, multiforme, variegato, poliedrico, complesso come i contesti mutevoli dentro i quali si costruisce e si trasforma e che a sua volta costruisce, ricostruisce e decostruisce
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
