Active imagination
Jung stated that active imagination is a fundamental component of the second phase of an analysis that can continue even outside the analytic setting. Jung began to practice active imagination in 1913, and the method was established among Jung's students (sometimes with skepticism) in 1927. However, it became less frequently used in later years. Since active imagination represents a core method of Jung's analytical psychology and might be practic…
Studyholism in the United States and Italy
Psychometric properties of the Italian oldenburg burnout inventory (student version) and measurement invariance with the USA
Heavy Study Investment in Indonesian College Students
Studyholism (SH) is a new potential clinical condition introduced in 2017 by Loscalzo and Giannini to refer to problematic overstudying, specifying that it might be associated with either high or low Study Engagement (SE). We aimed to analyze SH and SE’s predictive role on academic resilience. We gathered 609 Indonesian youths, and we performed a path analysis model. Among the main findings, SH predicts a lack of academic resilience, while SE pre…
Studyholism and Health Outcomes
Recently, Loscalzo and Giannini have proposed Studyholism as a possible new clinical condition, highlighting its potential antecedents and outcomes. The present study investigates the moderating role of Internet addiction in the relationship between Studyholism, academic exhaustion and insomnia. Three hundred and eighteen Italian university students (85.50% female; mean age = 22.98 ± 4.34) participated in the survey during the third wave of the C…

Hikikomori Risk Inventory (HRI-24)
BACKGROUND: Hikikomori, a clinical condition widely studied in Japan, is receiving increasing attention in Western Countries. AIMS: This study aimed to create a new instrument for evaluating the risk of Hikikomori in both Eastern and Western countries.

Psychological Counseling during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked as a psychologist in two schools: a comprehensive school (an institution including three school levels: kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school of first grade) and a Provincial Center for the Education of Adults (CPIA). This paper provides some clinical considerations that arose from this personal experience, focusing on practical implications for school psychological counseling. Among the main po…
Studyholism and Study Engagement in Adolescence
Studyholism (or obsession toward study) is a new potential clinical condition that, in contrast with Study Engagement, is associated with negative outcomes. However, previous studies showed that both Studyholism and Study Engagement predict social impairment due to study. Therefore, we analyzed the role of social anxiety and interpretation bias as predictors of Studyholism and Study Engagement in 541 adolescents ( M age = 16.30 ± 1.59; 66% girls)…
Heavy Study Investment
Defense mechanisms are unconscious processes that protect a person from excessive anxiety. They are part of everyday functioning, and mature defenses are associated with positive outcomes. However, the excessive use of defenses or the use of immature defenses is associated with psychopathology. The present study aims to analyze the defense mechanisms that characterize two types of heavy study investment: Studyholism and Study Engagement. We perfo…
Subjective Response Measurement to Prosthesis or Device Use
Many subjects with somatic pathologies or traumas in their recent anamnesis tend to experience symptoms and changes to their daily life parameters after technically successful treatment. Hence, this study aims to validate an investigation tool inspired by the prosthetic-bionic paradigm-namely, the PBP-Q-which allows for the evaluation of variation in questions relating to identity, psychosociality, and psychopathology in relation to the use of a …
Studyholism and Study Engagement
This study aims to deepen the analysis of Studyholism (or obsession toward study) on a sample of 793 Italian adolescents ( M age = 16.30 ± 1.73; 53% boys). A path analysis model including potential antecedents (i.e., worry, study-related perfectionism, perfectionistic strivings and concerns, overstudy climate, type of school) and outcomes (e.g., grade point average, time spent studying, psychological well-being) of Studyholism was tested. In line…
Work-Family Conflict Scale
In literature, there are many instruments for measuring the work-family conflict (W-F-C). The Work-Family Conflict Scale (WFCS) is one of the most used tools. This study aimed to evaluate its psychometric properties on a sample of 684 Italian workers (42.1% males, 57.9% females, mean age = 45.51 ± 10.91). We also evaluated if there were some demographic differences in the W-F-C, with relation to gender, the presence of children, and the kind of j…

Is Graphology Useful in Assessing Major Depression
This study aimed to develop a handwriting analysis protocol for assessing severe major depressive disorder, in order to evaluate whether graphological analysis could be considered an objective tool and hence if it could be useful for clinicians in their early diagnosis. We modified and improved the methodology described by Lorusso et al. by proposing different graphic indexes based both on the literature and on the observation of a preliminary sa…
