ROMA PAOLO
( programma)
The 48 hours of lectures will encompass the clinical aspects of clinical psychology and will be centered on the know-ledge of classification, research methods, normal and abnormal psychology. It will be deepen the first interview of pa-tient with a male/female/couple’s psycho-clinical dysfunction, the basic concepts of a clinical and psychological as-sessment oriented in the formulation of the basic and evolved elements of the treatments in clinical psychology. The student is requested to have enough knowledge to understand the clinical features of the disorders, planning the treat-ment.
In the laboratory session, will be analyzed the psychometric instrument useful for diagnosis, and specifical-ly the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF.
Important note
Pop quizzes will be given throughout the lessons. The quizzes will cover the assigned reading(s) for that particular class day. Why would I do this to you? Research (Roediger et al., 2006) suggests that students who take quizzes learn more than students who simply study the material over and over again. Also, I don’t post the full slides. Why would I make you write so much? Research (Chi, 2009) shows that active note taking leads to better student outcomes than passive observing. You should take your own notes rather than relying on notes from someone else!

( programma)
Il programma proposto ha l’obiettivo generale trasmettere allo studente le principali conoscenze nell’ambito del colloquio clinico e dell’analisi della domanda, con un focus specifico sulle richieste psicosessuologiche e il colloquio nelle coppie. Approfondendo il corso teorico frontale di THEORY AND TECHNIQUES OF CLINICAL COUNSELING, il laboratorio permetterà la trasmissione dei contenuti teorico-scientifici più aggiornati a livello della letteratura nazionale ed internazionale, motivando lo studente a sviluppare un approfondimento personale su di essi con gli strumenti che saranno trasmessi. Il laboratorio prevede sia l’utilizzo di supporti audiovisivi per l’attivazione di discussioni tematiche, sia la discussione di casi clinici portati dal docente, sia attività pratiche quali la simulazione di colloqui con singoli e coppie. Lo studente verrà stimolato ad integrare le conoscenze e a riflettere autonomamente sulla necessità di raccogliere informazioni specifiche e di costruire una buona relazione terapeutica. I concetti teorici appresi verranno inseriti e sviluppati grazie all’utilizzo di linee guida internazionali e protocolli già strutturati e scientificamente validati e condivisi. Gli studenti verranno inoltre stimolati a riflettere sui temi trattati ed incoraggiati ad esprimere giudizi personali anche in presenza di informazioni limitate o incomplete, tenendo in considerazione le responsabilità sociali ed etiche connesse all’applicazione di determinate conoscenze e giudizi.
Nello specifico il programma affronterà le seguenti tematiche:
• Le buone prassi per un colloquio clinico
• Le tecniche specifiche per un colloquio clinico in psicosessuologia
• Tecniche e strumenti per il colloquio clinico nel caso di singoli e di coppie.
• L’analisi della domanda
• Il ruolo della relazione terapeutica, del corpo e delle emozioni
• Il colloquio clinico in un’ottica multiculturale
Al termine del corso, lo studente avrà sperimentato i principali tipi di interviste cliniche ad orientamento psicodinamico e biopsicosociale, le principali strategie di raccolta di informazioni necessarie per formulare una proposta diagnostica ed un primo piano terapeutico.
I testi di riferimento saranno costituiti da materiale didattico consegnato dal docente (linee guida e articoli scientifici internazionali) integrato ai testi previsti per le lezioni frontali [Bader, M. (2002). Arousal. The secret logic of sexual fantasies. Thomas Dunne Books, New York.; McWilliams, N. (1999), Psychoanalytic Case Formulation. Guilford, New York.; Silberschatz, G.

THEORY AND PSYCHODYNAMIC MODELS
(obiettivi)
Aims
General aims
The course aims at providing the student with a panoramic of the development of the clinical psychoana-lytic thought from its origins to the current views that integrate the clinical models with empirical research identifying the main psychopathological areas of application of these theories for both clinical assessment and intervention. A peculiar aspect concerns psychoanalytic theories of sexual disorders and paraphilic conducts.
Expected outcomes entail the capacity to apply the single clinical theories and constructs in order to formulate psychodynamic diagnostic hypotheses concerning the patients’ psychological functioning in the di-verse phases of the life-cycle considering both intra-psychic and intersubjective functioning. These capacities will also prove useful for the understanding of of the key aspects of clinical change.
Traditional lectures are devoted to the presentation of the evolution of psychoanalytic clinical theories and models of psychodynamic treatment
The labaratory revolves around the presentation of clinical material allowing the students to deal with the fundamen-tal aspects of clinical assessment of psychopathological functioning and to observe the function of therapeutic interventions in the course of psychotherapeutic treatments.
The labratory lessons should be considered mandatory.
Specific aims
Knowledge and understanding
In order to pass the exam, the student is asked to be able to analyze the main aspects of psychopathological functioning in the light of the theories presented as well as to vet the relative perspectives of clinical intervention with an emphasis on which interventions should be applied to the diverse clinical conditions and therapeutic relationship.
Applying knowledge and understanding
The use of the clinical theories will allow the student who has passed the exam to to identify the key modes of psychopathological functioning with reference to neurotic, psychotic, perverse, processing of post-traumatic experiences, severe personality pathology. The studenti s also required to identify the aspects concerning transfert and controtransfert in the course of clinical exchanges.
Making judgements
The course prompts the student to identify the specific aspects of the various clinical conditions in which the psychi-dynamic point of view can afford an an enriched understanding of individual and relational psychic suffering and allow a more articulate analysis of the project of clinical intervention.
Communication skills
Passing the exam entails the mastery of the meaning of the key psychodynamic concepts, the capacity to formulate an assessment thatcan be shared with other professional of mental health establishing a dialogue with the other diagno-stic attitudes. During the lectures attention will be drawn to the contribution that the clinical psychoanlytic point point of view can bring to equipe discussions and the formulalation of complex project of intervention in the diverse context of mental health.
Learning skills
During both traditional lectures and the laboratory the student will be enabled to test the relevance of the diverse clini-cal psychoanalytic theories for the description of the processes of thought characterizing the diverse psychopathologi-cal conditions, to verify their usefulness for the final diagnosis and assessment, for the professional exchange with col-leagues of the mental health equipe, in the planning and analysis of the process of clinical change. These skills will re-sult useful for both their application to the various aspects of developmental psychopathology proposed by the other exams of the Course of Study and in thefirst clini-cal experiences carried out after the end of the Degree.
