Mentalization in Asylum Seekers with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
This study explores the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the two major dimensions of mentalization (self and other-oriented) in asylum seekers resettled in Italy. It is important because it is the first study addressing the role of mentalization in asylum seekers with PTSD. Twenty asylum seekers scoring above the cut-off for the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) were contrasted to twenty asylum seekers without PTSD on…
Psychopathological effects of the Coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) imposed lockdown on vulnerable patients in treatment in a mental health outpatient department for migrants and individuals in poor socioecono…
BACKGROUND: The effects of Sars-Cov-2 pandemic may increase vulnerability of migrants. AIMS: To investigate the effects of the governmental lockdown on the mental health of vulnerable migrants in treatment at an outpatient department. METHOD: In a telephone survey post-migration living difficulties and psychopathological symptoms were investigated, particularly post-traumatic thoughts and nightmares, anxiety, depression, feelings of tension and i…
Media reverberations on the ‘red line’
This study uses a CADS (Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies) approach to identify a series of axes around which degrees of persuasion can be mapped in debates about international affairs. The author investigates how US and UK news media reported Obama’s use of the term ‘red line’ to describe the potential transgression if Syrian leader Assad used chemical weapons on civilians, which Assad then did. The article examines the connotational, argumentat…
The Psychological Impact of Epidemic and Pandemic Outbreaks on Healthcare Workers
The ‘transformative’ power of ‘integrated metaphor’ in counselling
Given the centrality of metaphor in the (re)structuring of experience ( Burns, 2005 ; Loue, 2008 ; Roffman, 2008 ) and of bodily experience to the notion of conceptual metaphor in cognitive theory ( Lakoff & Johnson, 2003 [1980] ; Lakoff, 1993 ; Gibbs, 2006 ), this paper investigates the ‘transformative power’ of metaphor in ‘talking cure’ practices – Counselling and Psychotherapy – to implement its application potential. An experimental integrat…
Psychological issues and construction of the mother-child relationship in women with cancer during pregnancy
An analysis of cognitive aspects, emotional processes, and maternal attachment in cases of cancer during pregnancy may contribute to the development of a model of care, both in an evolutionary and in a psycho-oncology context, with implications for clinical practice
In lack of 'Will'? Strategic 'Future-ness' and Barack Obama's experiment
Time is conventionally conceptualized in terms of space, also affecting the articulation of identity. The relation between time, space and identity will be discussed through theoretically questioning the formal expression of future time, and particularly "will" future, in English to observe its potential cognitive and pragmatic implications - i.e. how 'future-ness' can become "strategic" - on identity construction - cf. "progressive identity" - a…
Through a woman's eyes’ narratives of the nation
Given the centrality of bodily experience to cognitive theory and to the notion of conceptual metaphor, gender turns out to be a possible category of research for a culturally oriented cognitive-based linguistic analysis of persuasion in political discourse. More specifically, conceptual metaphor, for its very characteristic of embodiment, is intrinsically interesting because of issues of both gender perception and representation. The relation be…

Governments are run by humans who have sympathies and moods. The study of leaders' personalities, albeit not widespread, is an important tool for foreign policy analysis. Plus, friendship is a feeling that decision-makers like to express for each other. This paper analyses the activity of Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's three times premier, who has made 'friendship' a central tenet of his personal foreign policy. Three cases are considered, namely, Be…
Metaphor at work in the analysis of political discourse
The crucial historical moment represented by post 9/11 may undoubtedly be considered responsible for the subsequent hardening of American political rhetoric. And yet, the sudden increase of consensus catalysed by George W. Bush and the consequences of his international policy bring his modus persuadendi up for discussion. The aim of this article is to present a framework for a metaphor-based critical analysis of persuasion in political discourse.…
