Il Disegno Congiunto della Famiglia rappresenta una novità assoluta nel panorama nazionale ed internazionale poiché è il primo strumento grafico-interattivo pensato per la famiglia per il quale sia stato costruito e validato un sistema di codifica e di valutazione analitico e sintetico. Esso consente di leggere le relazioni familiari in situazioni di tipo clinico e socio-educativo, spesso contrassegnate dalla difficoltà di utilizzare il codice linguistico o che necessitano, per essere adeguatamente comprese, di una valutazione che oltrepassa il canale dialogico-narrativo. Il testo analizza l’evoluzione dell’utilizzo del disegno familiare come strumento di indagine psicologica, sia negli interventi psicodiagnostici e nella clinica infantile, sia nelle varianti più frequentemente utilizzate nella ricerca sulle relazioni familiari. Presenta poi una versione innovativa del Disegno Congiunto della Famiglia proponendo un sistema di codifica analitico dei suoi elementi costitutivi, suddivisi in due domini: gli indicatori del prodotto (cioè della raffigurazione grafico-simbolica realizzata dalla famiglia) e gli indicatori di processo (cioè riferiti all’interazione familiare). A partire da questo primo livello di analisi viene successivamente definito un sistema di calcolo sintetico dei risultati che dà luogo ad una classificazione tipologica delle configurazioni familiari, identificate a partire dall’applicazione della griglia di lettura ad un campione estensivo di disegni. La presentazione è infine arricchita da una completa esemplificazione applicativa dello strumento in diversi contesti d’uso, illustrando una casistica che attraversa le diverse configurazioni familiari individuate., The Conjoint Family Drawing is an absolute novelty in the national and international as it is the first interactive graphical tool-designed for the family to which it is constructed and validated a coding system and evaluation analytical and synthetic. It allows you to read the family relationships in situations of clinical and socio-educational, often marked by the difficulty of using code language or who need to be adequately understood, an assessment that goes beyond the channel dialogical-narrative. The text analyzes the evolution of the use of the design family as an instrument of psychological research, Psychological interventions in both clinical and child, both in the variants most frequently used in research on family relationships. Then presents a version of the innovative design of the Joint Family proposing a system of coding analysis of its constituent elements, divided into two domains: the indicators of the product (ie, the graphic-symbolic representation made ​​by the family) and process indicators (ie reported to 'family interaction). Starting from this first level of analysis is further defined a system for calculating synthetic results which gives rise to a type classification of the family configurations, identified starting from the application of the reading frame to a sample of extensive drawings. The presentation is then enriched with a complete application examples of the instrument in different contexts of use, through a case study illustrating the different family configurations identified.

Il contributo presenta una riflessione sui processi di giustizia riparativa all'interno della prospettiva relazionale, presantando particolare attenzione alla sua capacità di rigenerare i legami interpersonali e comunitari

Il senso comune corrente conosce la violenza di genere perlopiù attraverso il racconto esasperato e minuzioso di tragiche vicende. La famiglia e la scuola spesso on sono in grado di arginare tale indirizzo mediatico e va diffondendosi fra i giovani una sempre maggiore misconoscenza del fenomeno. La ricerca descritta nel volume intende portare alla luce i processi di stereotipizzazione e leggittimazione diffusi fra i giovani.

The increasing rate of divorce has significantly changed the Italian family in the last decades. Consequently new social services and institutional answers are now needed to support families. In this direction some important services are relevant that may help marital couple through separation and support familiar generativity. This study shows the results of a qualitative research. It considers ten marital couples getting into divorce: five couples are supported by familiar mediation, the others are guided by a technical advice suggested by the judge. The purpose is to find differences about intergeneration generativity processes, in both couples, and to pick out the crucial elements that separate the generativity processes from the de-generativity one. In this research clinical interview has been used through narrative, projective prompts and graphical joined works. The symbolic relational model is represented by three dimensions: the family origin, the couple agreement and the intergenerational transition. The articulation of these three dimensions lead to the description of familiar generativity style.

The study examines the impact caused by the Alzheimer’s Disease on the family system. It considers not only the relationship between the patient and the principal caregiver, but the intergenerational organization as a whole. It is a qualitative research conducted by the symbolic-relational approach: its aims is to underline the relationship between the family organization form and the effects of caregiving process. The results find four format of family space and time which are related to different perception of pathology and to different family dynamics. Moreover they distinguish specific modalities of exchange between the families and the social and health services and the effects of caregiving process.

Objectives. To investigate the predictors of caregiver's depressive symptoms in a sample of community-dwelling Alzheimer's patients. Design. A cross-sectional study was conducted in an Alzheimer's unit speci®cally devoted to the care of demented patients in Brescia Province (Italy). One hundred and three dyads were consecutively recruited between July 1994 and July 1995. Caregivers were sons/daughters (65%) or husbands/wives; mean age was 54.6+13.2. Alzheimer's patients Mini Mental State Examination score was 11.3+8.3; patients were equally distributed among disease severity levels. The following variables have been collected: (a) background and context variables (caregiver's age, gender, marital status, education, relationship and cohabitation with the patient, employment status, satisfaction with household income); (b) caregiver's personal resources (health, social relationships and social interactions, formal supports use, and self-rated adequacy of performance as caregivers); (c) objective burden indicators (number of daily hours for assistance and vigilance); (d) primary stressors (patient's age and gender, cognitive status, functional status, frequency of behavioural disturbances). Caregiver's depressive symptoms represented the main outcome measure. Results. Being husband or wife, low self-rated health and caregiving competence, high numbers of hours for assistance and patient's behavioural disturbances and younger age were associated with caregiver's depressive symptoms. With multivariate analysis only relationship to the patient, caregiver's health and competence were independent predictors of caregiver's depressive symptoms. Conclusion. Factors related to the caregiverÐrelationship, health and competenceÐrather than to the patient constitute the main risk factors for caregiver's depressive symptomatology
