“ How Do You Manage It? I Couldn’t; I’m Way Too Jealous !” A Qualitative Research on How Polyamorous People Deal with Their Partners’ Relationships
3), with a mean age of 30.6 years. Interviews focused on experiences of partners' other relationships, moments of distress, and resources used to restore emotional balance over time. Transcripts were analyzed independently by two raters using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Five superordinate themes emerged: (i) The bittersweetly warm experience of having a metamour; (ii) Loss, rejection, and neglect (real or imagined) undermining…
On the talkability of death
Psychotherapists often serve as reference figures within the patient–therapist relationship, and the stability of the therapeutic setting is universally recognized as a beneficial therapeutic factor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the meaning-making of losing one’s psychotherapist due to their death and how such unfortunate events are managed when therapy is provided by private practitioners. Ten adult former patients were interv…
Involuntary Celibacy (Incel) Identity
The term incel is a neologism combining “involuntary” and “celibate”, describing men who experience involuntary absence from sexual and romantic relationships. Incels frequently espouse conspiratorial and misogynistic ideologies, often engaging in verbal aggression. The present study aimed at qualitatively exploring the emotional experiences and beliefs articulated within an online incel community, contributing to the formation of its collective …

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a concerning, widespread issue with serious health, social, and financial \nconsequences. Previous studies highlighted the role of insecure attachment patterns in predicting IPV \nvictimization. This study investigates attachment classifications among women survivors of IPV referred to \nantiviolence centers, as determined by the Adult Attachment Interview and compare them with a control \ngroup. Additionally, t…
Closing circles
Introduction: Research on lesbian and gay parent families has mostly focused on parenting quality and child development, yet little attention has been given to the transformations in families of origin’s dynamics following the transition to parenthood. Aims and Methods: In this qualitative study, we explored the experiences of 35 lesbian parents and 35 gay parents, regarding family-of-origin ruptures following coming out (CO) and the reconciliati…
The role of language in nonbinary identity construction
Languages influence how gender is perceived in a specific culture. Italian, for instance, consistently marks gender-binary distinctions, thus contributing to the underrepresentation of nonbinary gender identities. The present study explored how nonbinary Italian speakers define themselves and their gender identity and expression through language. Forty nonbinary participants were administered a semi-structured interview exploring how the semantic…
Deepening Sexual Desire and Erotic Fantasies Research in the ACE Spectrum
Over the past 30 years, an increasing number of people have identified within the asexual (ACE) spectrum recognizing an absence/low/situational sexual attraction to individuals of any gender. The current study aims to deepen the knowledge of sexual desire, erotic fantasies, and related emotions within the ACE spectrum. A total of 1072 Italian volunteers were recruited to take part to the present study via social media. Data were collected from Oc…
Referential processes in dreams
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a collective trauma for the world population. Psychoanalytic literature has long proposed that dreams are a key point of access for understanding the deepest functioning of the mind. Using the multiple code theory (Bucci, 1993) as a framework, this study aims to explore the emotional and cognitive responses of the general population to COVID-19 through their dreams. A total of 613 dreams were collected in an online …
Monkeypox spread among men who have sex with men
The majority of monkeypox (Mpox) cases in the 2022 outbreak have been traced back to mass gathering events in May, primarily among men who have sex with men (MSM). While some quantitative studies exist in the literature, focusing mainly on the link between Mpox knowledge, conspiracy theories, and vaccination hesitancy, there is a dearth of qualitative or mixed-method research that examines the beliefs surrounding this phenomenon, particularly inc…
Lockdown dreams
Introduction In the current study, following the continuity hypothesis and considering the adaptive function of dreaming, dreams were investigated from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, focusing on how the COVID-19 restrictions impacted dream frequency, content, and emotions during the lockdown in an Italian sample [N=598, aged 18-70 years (M = 30.9; SD = 10.9)]. Methods The participants were recruited through an online survey in which …
Non-Binary Clients’ Experiences of Psychotherapy
Non-binary people may face specific challenges in psychological settings. Psychotherapists often display a lack of preparation for non-binary gender identities, resulting in overt or subtle forms of prejudice that compromise the therapeutic alliance. The present study aimed to provide data on non-binary clients' positive and negative experiences within therapeutic relationships. Twenty-five interviews were conducted with non-binary people in the …
Paola on the couch
Psychoanalytic accounts of gender variant patients in the literature are rare. Psychoanalysis with these patients suffers from historical biases that determine short-sighted and pathologizing interpretations of gender diversity. This contribution provides an account of a long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy taking an open and affirmative approach to gender reassignment. The patient was a trans adult woman, Paola, during the crucial years preced…
From a Symptom-Based to a Person-Centered Approach in Treating Depressive Disorders in Adolescence
The case discussion showed the importance of providing clinically meaningful assessments to plan for effective treatments in youth populations.

Queer generativity in lesbian, gay, and bisexual older adults
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) older adults may have had the opportunity to reflect on and process stressful life experiences, and they may be more inclined to practice queer generative behaviours aimed at strengthening sexual minority identities and supporting the sexual minority community. The present study explored the unique patterns of generativity practiced by 27 Italian LGB older adults (60 years and older) through semi‐structured interv…
Is It Autism? A Critical Commentary on the Co-Occurrence of Gender Dysphoria and Autism Spectrum Disorder
An increasing amount of literature revealed a link between GD and ASD. Both GD and ASD are complex and heterogeneous conditions characterized by a large variety of presentations. Studies have reported that individuals with GD tend to have higher prevalence rates of autistic traits in comparison to the general population. The purpose of this commentary is to provide, through the description of a clinical case, our reading and a possible interpreta…
Gender Diverse Children and Adolescents in Italy
In recent years, Italy, similar to many other countries, has witnessed an increase in children and adolescents presenting gender incongruence.
