Role of narcissism in parental alienation phenomenon. A narrative review
Riv Psichiatr. 2024 Mar-Apr;59(2):45-51. doi: 10.1708/4259.42357.ABSTRACTParental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is a term addressed to describe negative, psychopathological feelings, thinking and behaviours, including hostility and fear, exhibited by children who have been alienated from one parent by the other parent. Despite its relevance in the clinical psychology field, theoretical and empirical contributions to understanding and deepening the many facets of this concept are still few. In particular, literature aimed at disentangling the alienating parent's psychological characteristics is scarce and fragmented. Our contri...

Delay in the fine-tuning of locomotion in infants with meconium positive to biomarkers of alcohol exposure: a pilot study

Mini-Z validation for burnout and stress evaluation: an observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Burnout is very common among employees and especially among healthcare workers and a routine assessment seems to be necessary to be able to prevent the syndrome. The Italian version of the Mini-Z includes ten items, is more user-friendly and aims to assess not only Burnout subscales, as in the previous tests, but also well-being factors and has applied a rigorous approach, including forward translation, back translation and cognitive debriefing.PMID:38651774 | DOI:10.1708/4259.42359 (Source: Rivista di Psichiatria)

Switching from paliperidone palmitate 3-monthly long-acting injection to oral aripiprazole in a pregnant woman with schizophrenia: a case report and short review
Riv Psichiatr. 2024 Mar-Apr;59(2):75-79. doi: 10.1708/4259.42361.ABSTRACTTreatment with long-acting injection (LAI) antipsychotics, such as paliperidone palmitate, has improved the quality of life in terms of symptoms and prevention of relapses in patients with schizophrenia. Although there are plenty of evidences about the efficacy and safety of paliperidone palmitate 3-monthly injection (PP3M) in adults with schizophrenia, literature appears lacking about the use of LAIs during pregnancy. We hereby describe the clinical case of a pregnant woman affected by schizophrenia (DSM-5-TR), taking pharmacological treatment of PP3...

On the relationship between incestuousness and destructivity: some reflection from an expert case.
CONCLUSIONS: A careful historical, anthropological, documentary reconstruction, the examination of the relational set-up of the various subjects involved, and not only the clinical and psychodiagnostic aspects, are the indispensable premises, in order to make overall sense of crimes in families of particular complexity, difficult to decipher, such as those exposed in the present scientific work.PMID:38651777 | DOI:10.1708/4259.42362 (Source: Rivista di Psichiatria)

War as a psychic fact.
Riv Psichiatr. 2024 Jan-Feb;59(1):1-3. doi: 10.1708/4205.41942.ABSTRACTWar is a complex issue and, as such, observable and studyable from different perspectives, including political, economic, anthropological, sociological, ethnological, etological, historical and psychological. Psychiatry's interest in war has a historical root, just think of the Psychoanalytic Congress held in Budapest in September 1918, on "war neuroses". Current interest is directed to psychic mechanisms operating in the war phenomenon and on the consequences that collective trauma produces in acute, chronic and in subsequent generations.PMID:38362782 ...

Huntington's disease prevalence in Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our study reveals that HD disease affects the population of Asia to a lesser extent than in Europe. The plausible explanation for differences in prevalence is that in some countries, the affected individuals will not self-refer to HD screening for fear of social stigma, negative influence in marriage, and lack of genetic and neurological testing. Another explanation is that studies that used genetic testing exclusively were able to identify the CAG repeats, subgroups of CAG repeat A1 & A2, and haplogroup C, which has less predisposition to high HD prevalence in Asians compared to the Caucasian population.PM...

Early identification of risk for eating disorders in Italian secondary school students: a cross-sectional study

Evaluation of a psychoeducational intervention adapted from the Falloon model for first episode psychosis: a one-year follow-up real-world study
CONCLUSIONS: The results clearly show that family psychoeducational intervention according to the adapted Falloon model, specifically focused on crisis and early stress management, is effective in improving treatment adherence, clinical outcome and social life of first-episode psychotic patients. The limit is the lack of a control and randomization.PMID:38362785 | DOI:10.1708/4205.41945 (Source: Rivista di Psichiatria)

Counseling in the face of crisis: supporting mental health in Tor Vergata University students during the Covid-19 era
CONCLUSIONS: The increasing prevalence of distress among young individuals represents an urgent public health concern that necessitates immediate intervention. It is crucial for countries to adopt a comprehensive approach to promoting psychological and mental health. University counseling services serve as an effective initial intervention to address the negative impact of mental illness on academic performance, social interactions, and emotional well-being in young individuals. They also play a pivotal role in the early identification of individuals at risk of developing severe psychiatric disorders. Sportello Studenti ha...

Mental health interventions in Italian prisons: are we ready for a new model? Suggestions from the Parma experience
Riv Psichiatr. 2024 Jan-Feb;59(1):35-42. doi: 10.1708/4205.41947.ABSTRACTMental health interventions for Italian prisoners with mental disorder remain a problematic issue, despite radical changes in psychiatric care and a 2008 major government reform transferring mental health care in prison to the National Health Service. Indeed, prison has increasingly become a place of severe psychological distress, where also serious mental illnesses sometimes occur. In this contribution, we commented on the recommendations recently proposed by the Emilia-Romagna Region on how structuring mental healthcare interventions in all regional...
