How Do Collaborative Approaches Shape Power Dynamics in Therapeutic Relationships? Evidence From Recovery‐Oriented Mental Health Services
INTRODUCTION: Recovery-oriented mental health services emphasise collaboration, empowerment and service-user involvement. However, less is known about how power is enacted within relationships described as collaborative. This study explores how power dynamics are interactionally produced, negotiated and made visible within recovery-oriented therapeutic relationships. METHODS: The study involved 15 service users from an Italian recovery-oriented m…
Body-Related Existential Dilemmas During Gender Transition
The scientific literature shows that gender transition is effective in improving the general well-being of transgender people. However, so far, little attention has been paid to the actual role of the body concerning the existential dilemma that holds the person hostage during transition. This study investigates the relationship between the body-here considered in its concrete, experienced, imagined, and intersubjective dimensions-and gender iden…
Qualities of mentalization and perception of parental mirroring in a group of Italian transgender people
Online Sexual Activities in Italian Older Adults
Introduction Online sexual activities (OSAs) are sexual behaviors involving online sexual content and stimuli and are categorized into non-arousal (N-OSAs), solitary arousal (S-OSAs), and partnered arousal activities (P-OSAs). As such activities in older age remain largely underexamined, this study aimed to explore OSAs in a sample of Italian older adults, analyzing their associations with gender and sexual orientation, considering sexual permiss…
Multiple Sclerosis And Maternity
Considering women living with multiple sclerosis (MS), motherhood may represent a complicated event. Our aim in this study is to explore the personal meanings related to maternity and illness in women living with this disease. We have involved twenty women suffering from MS and we have administered an open interview introduced by a trigger question as a prompt aimed to elicit a narrative of their experience of illness, wishes, doubts, fears and l…
Minority Stress and Mental Health in Italian Bisexual People
Bisexual people are a strongly stigmatized population experiencing health disparities caused by social stigmatization. The predominant framework helping to understand these health disparities and the impact of stigma on mental health of social groups belonging to a sexual minority identity constitutes the minority stress theory. In Italy, studies assessing this model in bisexual populations are very limited. Within this framework, the current stu…

Parenting Desire and Minority Stress in Lesbians and Gay Men
Despite the rapid increase in lesbian and gay (LG) people who desire and decide to become parents, LG childless individuals may encounter serious obstacles in the parenthood process, such as minority stress. Notwithstanding, the psychological processes by which prejudice events might affect the desire to become parents are still understudied. As an extension of the minority stress theory, the psychological mediation framework sheds light on these…
Internalized Transphobia, Resilience, and Mental Health
Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people are a highly-stigmatized population. For this reason, they might internalize society's normative gender attitudes and develop negative mental health outcomes. As an extension of the minority stress model, the psychological mediation framework sheds light on psychological processes through which anti-transgender discrimination might affect mental health. Within this framework, the current study ai…
Binswanger, Daseinsanalyse and the Issue of the Unconscious
Drawing on Ludwig Binswanger's work, this paper seeks to reconstruct historically and theoretically his relationship with Freud and Psychoanalysis and to trace his ideas with regard to the Unconscious. Tied to Freud by a friendship lasting thirty years, it started mainly from his encounter with the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Alexander Pfänder, Franz Brentano, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Martin Buber that Binswanger developed an origina…
Normalisation Versus Medicalisation of Sexual Disturbances During Menopause
Adult Attachment and Transgender Identity in the Italian Context
A clinical focus on the redefinition of the Internal Working Models of transgender people can inform psychologically-focused interventions, which transgender people can benefit from
Gender Identity Disorder and Attachment Theory
Until now, studies related to gender identity disorder (GID) in adult patients carried out within the framework of attachment theory have been scarce. The current research project aimed to explore the theme related to the specific nature of the current states of mind with respect to attachment in adult male patients suffering from GID, and to evaluate simultaneously the level of psychopathology associated with conditions of GID. The first 18 pati…
