Clinical Psychology

Educational objectives

General aims:
Students are proposed to rework and integrate the knowledge acquired on the clinical psychology intervention until then.

The laboratory is aimed at promoting the practical learning of the bases of the psychodynamic and microgenetic analysis of the instituting stage of the clinical relationship - i.e. the initial mo-ments of the relationship between clinician and user, which contribute significantly to shape the intersubjective field of the clinical exchange, therefore to its subsequent evolution.

Specific aims
Students will acquire the ability to discern the different interpretative levels that they can use in different contexts.

Knowledge and understanding
Students at the end of the course will be able to differentiate the specific theories and techniques of clinical interpretation.

Basic knowledge of the methodological psychodynamic criteria at the basis of the analysis of the instituting stage of intervention

Applying knowledge and understanding
Students will be able to know the different techniques concerning interpretation and critically evaluate their use in relation to different contexts

Basic competence to understand the configuration of the other (user)’s desire

Making judgements
Students will be able to establish clinical psychological settings within different contexts

Basic competence to understand and regulate the way in which the other (the user)’s desire inter-acts with the observer’s desire in the "present moment" of the clinical exchange.

Communication skills
Students will be able to establish the relationship between psychologist and context of intervention through clinical categories

Basic ability to enter relationship with the other (the client of the intervention)’s desire

Learning skills
Students will manage the construction of the field of intervention using their acquired ability to interpret.

Basic ability to represent, account, verify and validate the decision-making associated with the analysis of the instituting stage of the intervention

Educational objectives

General aims

Students will acquaint specific issues in the domain of marital and family relationships. In particular, while we are observing the weakening of social norms, couples and families have produced many flexible models both in the expression of affective relationships and in the behaviors. According to this, the course has the goal to show the ways which distinguish clinical psychology for couples and families in the framework of relational systemic models. Besides, students will become familiar with tools for the direct observation of marital and family interactions. So, they will be able to evaluate functional and dysfunctional models in the relationship between spouses and between parents and children. Again, during the class, we will explain the topic of conflict in separation and divorce and the related interventions, such as couple therapy and family mediation. Finally, we will discuss the mentalization processes.

Specific aims
At the end of class, students will know and use the key notions to detect the complexity of the marital and family forms actually present in the social scenario. In addition, the course will allow to enlighten and understand the variety of clinical interventions such as marital and family enrichment, couple and family therapy, family mediation

Educational objectives

General aims
The course aims to explore the psychosomatic approach on the conceptualization of the disease (both physical and mental) and its development, and to define possible models of psychological interventions within the medical care settings.

Specific aims

Knowledge and understanding
Starting from the description of a classical psychosomatic approach, the student will learn the evolution that this model has undergone in the last 50 years, until the contemporary theories of BodyMind functioning, such as the model of psycho-biological dysregulation and the multiple code theory of Wilma Bucci. The role of life events and relational components in the construction of health and disease will be also analyzed. Finally, the perspective of health psychology will be explored, as a general framework for the psychological intervention of promotion and support in the medical care settings. Ways of analysis and intervention in different health and illness contexts will be defined. These objectives will be achieved through lectures, discussion groups on the topics explored, and discussion of clinical conditions.

Applying knowledge and understanding
To transmit to the student theoretical models that guide the psychological approach in care settings is a specific aim of the course. From the analysis of the individual conditions to the analysis of the demand, to the ability to reflect on one's work and on one's own positions in the contexts, the students will be guided to the learning of a specific know-how within the medical care settings. The group discussion of specific intervention models will encourage the ability to apply the theoretical concepts to real situations. The practice (individually or through simulated conditions) on the use of some evaluation tools will consolidate the possibility of knowing and using the instruments.

Making judgements
Through the discussion in small groups and the comparison with the teacher on various issues, theoretical and practical, the critical skills of the students will be supported. Through the oral report to the class group, individually or in small groups, of some themes chosen by the students according to their specific interests, the exchange and autonomy of thought and communication will be promoted.

Communication skills
The exchange, the communication and the sharing of reflections will be supported within the course in structured spaces for discussion between peers and with the teacher.

Learning skills
The student will receive at the beginning of the course a calendar in which the topics of the lessons will be described, he can so organize the study. The program will be discussed at the beginning of the course; modify it according to requests and interests of the class group will be possible.

Educational objectives

General aims:
The main objective of the course is to deepen the knowledge: a. of the relationship between cognitive processes and the bodily processes; b. of how the cognitive processes vary depending on the culture and language. Aim of the laboratory is to develop in students the capability to comprehend, evaluate and plan experiments on the topics addressed during the lectures.

Specific aims:
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - know the studies showing that the body influences and modulates cognitive processes as perception, attention, categorization and language (Dublin 1, knowledge and understanding); - know the recent literature on the influence of cultures and languages on cognitive processes (Dublin 1, knowledge and understanding); - critically evaluate the experimental studies in this field (Dublin 3, making judgments); - apply the ac-quired knowledge to new contexts and situations (Dublin 2, applying knowledge); - plan and conduct an experiment in this field and interpret its results in an autonomous way (Dublin 5, learning skills);- communicate to the others the re-sults of the experimental study conducted (Dublin 4, communication skills).

Knowledge and understanding
Students will be illustrated the recent literature on the relationship between the body and cognitive processes (embod-ied and grounded cognition) and the literature showing how cognitive processes are modulated by cultures and lan-guages. Students should demonstrate to comprehend and know these new research areas, conceiving new and original ideas, for example proposing novel experiments.

Applying knowledge and understanding
The students will have to perform exercises in the class, to prepare themselves to the written exam. They will have to apply the acquired knowledge to new fields (e.g. they will be required to apply their knowledge on motor resonance to the planning of a clinical intervention), and to plan in small groups experiments on the topics presented during the lec-ture. This will allow evaluating how much the students have understood the topics and are able to extend and apply the acquired knowledge to new situations.

Making judgements
During the lecture the teacher will stimulate the debate, inviting students to detect the limitations of the experimental studies and to propose eventual modifications.

Communication skills
The students will be invited to actively participate to the lectures, asking questions and talking. At the end of the course they will be required to report to the others the experiment they conducted, paying attention to communicate it in a clear and exhaustive way.
