Active Learning and Feedback in EFL Teacher Education Through AI-Supported Flipped Classrooms
This study examines the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within a Flipped Classroom model to enhance active learning and feedback processes in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching program. The participants were 242 pre-service EFL teachers enrolled in upper-level courses at a private university in southern Ecuador. Adopting a mixed-methods, design-based research approach, the study incorporated a diagnostic …
Voices from the war: Some notes on the emotional experience of the war in Ukraine told by two Ukrainian psychoanalysts
What is the real experience of war? How does our mind react to the sudden threats and losses of our lives, homes, and beloved objects? What understandings can it offer to make sense of the atrocities it witnesses? What adjustments can we carry out in these circumstances? Two colleagues from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and affiliated to the Ukrainian Psychoanalytic Study Group and the Institute of the Ukrainian Psychoanalytic Study Group help us to shed lig…
Working With Severe Borderline Patients: A Clinical Study of Destructiveness and Its Communicative Potential
Destructive behavior is one of the most challenging aspects when treating severe borderline patients because both the therapist and the psychotherapeutic method are called into question. Drawing on three in-depth psychoanalytic sessions of a severe borderline patient, the authors present and discuss the communicative potential of destructive behavior in the transference relationship during treatment. A step-by-step analysis and the working throug…
The Association Between Dyslipidemia and Lethality of Suicide Attempts: A Case-Control Study
Evidence supports the existence of an association between dyslipidemia, psychiatric disorders, and suicide risk due to the effects of altered lipid profiles on serotoninergic neuron membranes. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in c-reactive protein (CRP), thyroid functioning, total cholesterol, high lipoprotein density cholesterol (HDL-c), low-lipoprotein density cholesterol (LDL-c), and triglycerides (TG) serum levels in l…
On Delusional Thinking in Schizophrenia: Investigating the Communicative Potential of Delusional Emergences During Sessions
Delusions have often been considered incomprehensible, haloed with fear, dread, and awkwardness. Emotional encounters with delusions stimulate complex countertransferencial dynamics entailing the experience of the psychotic’s withdrawal from, and renunciation of, reality. We suggest that delusions represent unsymbolized emotional experiences that were so violent that the development of ordinary symbolization processes was prevented and, hence, th…
Pliable Media as Transitional Space: From Psychotic Indifferentiation Toward The Construction of Meaning in Schizophrenia
Clinical material from the treatment of a highly destructive schizophrenic patient is used to demonstrate the role and function of therapeutic mediations in promoting transformation and symbolization. Use of the Squiggle Game as a therapeutic mediation is shown to sustain the therapeutic process and to facilitate working through of the obscure and complex dynamics commonly seen in the treatment of psychotic patients. The Squiggle Game presents a …
On Becoming able to Play: Individual Child Psychoanalytic Psychodrama and the Development of Symbolization
In this paper, the authors analyze the relevance and transformative potential of individual psychoanalytic psychodrama in the treatment of children with severe impairments in symbolization. Central features of this modality, including promoting the representation of early traumatic experiences, are presented and discussed. Specific features include double-envelope containment of the co-therapists' group and play leader, consequent diffraction of …
La mente come teatro: Psicoanalisi, mito e rappresentazione [The Mind as a Theatre: Psychoanalysis, Myth and Representation]
Nowadays, psychoanalysis is struggling more than ever with the problem of the ‘representation’ of intra‐ and inter‐psychic phenomena in order to develop a deeper and more accurate understanding of
Employment status, inflation and suicidal behaviour: An analysis of a stratified sample in Italy
BACKGROUND: There is abundant empirical evidence of a surplus risk of suicide among the unemployed, although few studies have investigated the influence of economic downturns on suicidal behaviours in an employment status-stratified sample. AIMS: We investigated how economic inflation affected suicidal behaviours according to employment status in Italy from 2001 to 2008. METHODS: Data concerning economically active people were provided by the Ita…
