L’organizzazione di un follow–up neurologico-psicologico di un gruppo di nati immaturi ad alto rischio: analisi dei primi dati
No full textAdvanced in neonatology have led to an increased survival of very preterm infants. To evaluate the effects of prematurity the neurodevelopmental outcome of these infants is closely monitored in order to know how this particular newborns population grows up and in order to analyze the potential interactions between the preterm birth and possible risks factors (social risk factor) .
For a punctual understanding of this phenomenon a clear identification of the study’s sample characteristics, of the evaluation instruments, as well as of the matching between the different data is necessary.
For this purpose we have planned, in the course of the newborn’s first year of life, a neurological - psychological follow - up for a particular infants population. The sample is made up of 40 babies with less than 37 weeks of gestational age and with a birth weight 1300 grams but associated to "serious complications" (neurological and/or pulmonary).
In this paper the follow - up steps are accurately described together with the type of instruments employed for the assessments. The infants assessments include: a infants neurological-behavioral evaluation, a mental and psychomotor development evaluation, a appraisal of the infants psychological development, and also a assessment of the relation parent - child and the analysis of possible environment risk factors.
The preliminary data, still in phase of collection and elaboration, confirm the most recent studies (Singer et al., 2003) concerning infants <1500 grams and affected by neurological and respiratory diseases. These studies also investigate the relationships between parental emotional states, parental behavior and children neuro-psychological outcomes
Profiling Gambling Disorder: the role of pathological personality traits
No full textBackground: Despite Gambling Disorder (GD) frequently co-occurs with personality disorders (Dowling et al., 2016), there is still a lack of studies investigating the role of pathological personality traits among addicted gamblers (AG). Indeed, previous research (Brunborg et al., 2016; Myrseth et al., 2009), showing high levels of neuroticism and low levels of Conscientiousness among such population, only measured adaptive facets of personality traits, potentially failing to account for the complexity of this topic.
Method: We administered to a sample of AG (N=75) and a sample of community participants (N= 100) the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS; Lesieur & Blume, 1987) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5, Krueger et al., 2011).
Results: Analyses of variance showed that AG scored higher on every personality domains and some facets measured by the PID-5, compared to community participants. Multiple regression analysis, entering the five personality domains of the PID-5 as predictors of SOGS scores, indicated that only Disinibition significantly predicted SOGS scores whereas Detachment negatively predicted GD severity.
Conclusions: Dimensional conceptualization of pathological personality appears a useful framework from which investigate GD. Results supported previous research indicating significant personality impairments among AG (Dowling et al., 2016). Clinical implications and future directions are discusse
L’organizzazione del linguaggio nella triade madre-padre-bambino come strumento di analisi delle relazioni: valutazione qualitativa dei primi dati della ricerca
No full textAn exploratory study of the role played by hedonic dysregulation in gambling disorder
No full textResearch has demonstrated that individuals suffering from Gambling Disorder (GD) are characterized by abnormal responses to pleasant stimuli and a proneness to act rashly in response to positive emotions. However, psychological impairments that may explain these results remain unexplored. This study tests the hypothesis that individuals with GD would show impairments in the capacity to appreciate positive emotions. The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), the Impulsive Behavior Scale Short Form (UPPS-P) and the Ways of Savoring Checklist (WOSC) were administered to clinical sample (n = 87) and to controls (n = 99). Scores of the clinical sample significantly differed from scores obtained by controls on some subscales of the WOSC (Comparing and Killjoy Thinking) and the UPPS-P. The proneness to act rashly in response to positive emotions and the capacity to appreciate positive emotional states emerged as predictors of GD’s severity. Findings support previous data showing a role played by the emotional facets of impulsivity in GD and suggest that individuals suffering from GD may experience dysfunctions in the capacity to appreciate positive emotions. This study suggests that individuals suffering from GD may fail to normally appreciate positive emotional states because of abnormalities in the savoring capacities
The encounter with the other in the couple relationship: the area of mutuality
No full textThe thesis we have followed in this paper intends to highlight the features of the "couple" as one of the privileged places from which to look at the modes the partners use, following frequent unconscious regulation processes, to give rise to a third dimension, a field, their very relation that in its being a shared object at the border between the self and the other represents a third regulation pole that can be acknowledged as their own by both members and can give back to them a sense of internal consistency
Riflessioni sulla diagnosi nella prospettiva dinamica: una valutazione relazionale e processuale
No full textL’applicazione dei metodi scientifici alla situazione analitica è spesso stata vista come potenzialmente dannosa e distruttiva, la preoccupazione prevalente poteva sembrare quella di «inaridire» la ricchezza dell’esperienza umana insita nella prassi psicoanalitica con la sistematizzazione richiesta dal processo di ricerca. Tuttavia, come affermano Lingiardi e Muzi (2018, in questo numero): «(...) l’unico modo per ridurre la distanza tra scienza e pratica clinica era impe- gnarsi in una ricerca migliore, più creativa e più valida ecologica- mente
