This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “L’errore nasce sempre dalla tendenza dell’uomo a dedurre la causa dalla conseguenza.” (Arthur Schopenhauer). La diagnosi, è, in generale, il tentativo di identificare la natura, la causa di qualcosa e, con questo significato, è usato in medicina e psicologia. È quindi il tentativo di riconoscere una malattia o una psicopatologia in base a dei sintomi o “segni”. L’insieme di questi, possono ricondurre ad alcune configurazioni, dette patognomoniche, che, più o meno generiche, sono ritenute in grado di caratterizzare il quadro clinico di una malattia o sindrome. Purtroppo, molti segni si sovrappongono anche nelle varie sindromi e malattie in medicina e, per quanto riguarda i disturbi psichici, siamo ancora ben lontani da avere compreso i meccanismi causali alla base della maggior parte dei disturbi. Le scoperte, delle scienze del comportamento e delle neuroscienze hanno fornito dati importantissimi riguardo ai processi, anche biochimici, implicati e ciò ha chiarito alcuni dubbi a livello molecolare ma non ha offerto al momento dati conclusivi sulle cause dei disturbi psicopatologici. Questo è un punto fondamentale: un’alterazione di alcuni importanti neuromediatori, ad esempio, rappresenta un epifenomeno, un difetto funzionale non una causa di per sé, a meno di non considerarla, correttamente, una causa a sua volta conseguenza di un’altra causa. Questo, in medicina, si chiama “processo” e non eziopatogenesi ed ha a che fare con il “come” e non con il “perché”. In ogni caso, i manuali statistico descrittivi dei disturbi mentali come le ultime versioni del DSM e del ICD, dei quali questo testo tiene ovviamente conto, sono indubbiamente una sicura base e anche una fondamentale colonna per la diagnosi clinica in psicopatologia ma il loro utilizzo deve essere considerato utile ma non sufficiente perché la diagnosi clinica, a sua volta, deve produrre una previsione scientificamente valida e verificabile, la prognosi. La diagnosi funzionale quindi, non può che essere considerata una sorta di seconda colonna dell’impianto diagnostico in grado di fornire, con gli strumenti oggi scientificamente disponibili, delle ipotesi affidabili e previsioni accurate così da formare una architrave sulla quale fondare l’intervento terapeutico, sia esso farmacologico, psicologico o integrato. Questo manuale cerca di fornire strumenti e metodi che possono e, in alcuni casi, debbono essere utilizzati nella pratica clinica dallo psicologo e dallo psichiatra. Certamente non sono tutti quelli che potrebbero essere a disposizione dei clinici ma sicuramente quelli qui descritti sono stati ritenuti utili per non incorrere in troppi errori di valutazione, spesso dovuti a due fenomeni altrettanto pericolosi, la sottovalutazione del problema e la sopravvalutazione di sé da parte del clinico. In appendice, sono poi presenti alcuni casi clinici esplicativi di diagnosi funzionali e copie di relazioni peritali, tutte su casi clinici reali.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation de l'éditeur : "The interactions between law and culture in addressing the legal problems at the end of a life are currently being discussed in many countries. The discourse on this issue should be multidisciplinary, taking into account its legal, medical, ethical, philosophical and anthropological aspects. The concepts designed to manage the legal problems that occur when a life comes to an end are closely linked to the culture of each country. For this reason, countries with different cultural backgrounds have been selected for this comparative end-of-life study. In France, Germany and Italy, which have a continental legal system, the United Kingdom, which has a common law system, and India, the various religions and cultures exert an important influence on the modernisation of the legislation in this respect. The book deals with recent legislative changes and developments in the countries surveyed."

Download or read book Oedipus and the Couple written by Francis Grier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title consists of a diverse series of contributions and reflections on couples and the Oedipus complex from leading psychotherapists and psychoanalysts in the couples field. All contributors base their theories on a contemporary Kleinian/object-relations psychoanalytic viewpoint and this helps the reader feel that there is a basic underlying unity to facilitate meaningful links between the ideas and themes in different chapters. The chapters have been organized into three sections. Whilst united in the focus on the Oedipus situation, the individual styles and voices of the authors are very varied. The first three chapters are primarily theoretical. The second section comprises chapters that make use of artistic and cultural themes from the worlds of literature and film to explore Oedipal couple issues. The final section consists of chapters that are specifically clinical in their focus. The manifest focus in most chapters is on the couple, but there are variations on this theme.
