Stigma and Clinical Implications in Educational Discourses
The increase in requests for certifications has created uncertainty and changes in the way minors are perceived in the school environment. The way schools categorise minors can influence their developmental path, either facilitating or compromising their psychological and, in some cases, clinical development. This article presents a study conducted with various roles that collaborate with schools in different capacities, aiming to identify how mi…
What Are They Gonna Think About Me? An Innovative Text Analysis on Social Anxiety and Taijin Kyofusho Through Madit Methodology
Meaning and translation are never-ending issues that constantly challenge researchers who work in cross-cultural settings, especially when the focus is on how people use language to express and interact in relation to their distress experiences. Many efforts have been undertaken in order to try to understand and manage the content variance that can emerge from context and linguistic differences. The present study aims at offering its contribution…

Promoting the health of gender variant children in Italy
Management of the Disease of primary Immunodeficiencies
Mental health practitioners’ narratives about gender transition and the role of diagnosis
In many European Countries, a diagnosis is needed to access the gender transition process, which has sparked debate about whether gender variance should be equated with a psychodiagnosis. This study explores mental health practitioners' perspectives about the implications of using the diagnosis for gatekeeping purposes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 Italian mental health specialists. The personal positions and interpretative r…
The Impact of Relational and Organizational–Environmental Aspects in Hospital Blood Collection
This study deals with people who underwent a blood test and consequently suffered a fainting episode in the past. This phenomenon affects many people and if not adequately dealt with, it can lead to a perception of the blood test as a serious and traumatic event, which could limit its use as a preventive diagnostic tool. These experiences have been explored by research mainly on the basis of the physiological mechanisms involved in fainting, with…
Can a prison be self-managed? A study of the informal organisation of a bolivian prison
The purpose of this study is to investigate the unique prisons of Bolivia. Their main features include the presence of wives and children, self-management of activities within the prison and the opportunity for inmates to take part in various activities. In particular, the general organisation of the prisons and the inmates’ experience, especially on an interpersonal level, is described in this study. The obtained data shows that functional and e…
Understanding and Managing Gender Identity Variance in Minors
Identities that differ from what is expected of each gender challenge the crystallised binary form of social organisation. Furthermore, having a gender-variant child is an experience that confronts parents with something unknown to them that questions most of their assumptions. In the Italian context, there is a lack of awareness about the population of transgender and gender-variant minors, and what their or their families’ needs are. In the pre…
The role of the admission phase in the Italian treatment setting
There are various and diversified ways of admission of a substance user into a therapeutic community. When these ways result from actions that are inconsistent with the general objective of the service, they may lead to adverse outcomes that substantially impact both therapeutic interventions efficacy and services efficiency. Consequences are multiple, concerning the substance user, other users of the service, professionals working at the service…
Trans people’s attitudes and beliefs regarding the diagnosis of “gender dysphoria”
In many countries, the psychological pathway is an important practice in gender transition, especially where a diagnosis is needed in order to access medical treatments and legal recognition. This filter function is a source of debate for both professionals and trans people, particularly because of its potential for equating gender variances with mental illness. Despite recent changes in health communities' attitudes toward diagnosis for gender t…
Tackling Prejudice and Discrimination Towards Families with Same-Sex Parents
What is it Like to Be a BDSM Player? The Role of Sexuality and Erotization of Power in the BDSM Experience
Evaluating a Case of Parent Separation in Social Services Through a Text Analysis
The assessment of the family system is very complex, as several factors have to be taken into account: The number of people involved (one or more children), the involvement of other partners, and the presence of legal disputes. Although evaluation practices have increased considerably, it remains difficult for services to prove their effectiveness. The questions that have guided this work have concerned how much and how do the discourses (discurs…
The Phenomenon of “Hearing Voices”
Health service and school
The present study aims to compare the Italian and the Swedish systems of special scholastic support followed by a discussion on the understandings they are founded upon and the social implications they favour. The two systems are compared using a priori criteria regarding the focus of intervention, the role of the operators, and the relation to the client. What emerges are two systems that are different in terms of the level of institutionalisati…
To Tell or not to Tell? Parents’ Reluctance to Talking About Conceiving Their Children Using Medically Assisted Reproduction
Intimate Partner Violence Against Disabled Persons
The ‘invisible’ needs of women with disabilities in transportation systems
The Construction of “Discomfort Psychological”
Although there are several studies on youth problems in school, there are few studies on how teachers report psychological discomfort of the students and on what criteria does their procedure. Considering that schools increasingly make such reports to social or neuropsychiatry services, we wanted to find out whether it is flawless (bias, etc.) and how it can affect a student's career. This research presents an investigation on how the practice of…
The power of weight and the weight of power in adolescence
Obesity is an important emerging problem in adolescence because it causes psychological distress and social prejudice. Using Ugazio’s theory, this study aims to test if the construct ‘winner/loser’ and its associated meanings are used and considered important among obese adolescents. The personal constructs of 68 participants (young and adult; obese and normal weight) were elicited through the repertory grid test and analysed using the log-linear…
