At the end of the course the student shall have acquired the knowledge of the princi-pal diagnoses of clinical psychology, the treatment tecniques and the ability to rec-ognize and manage the major sexual and psychological symptoms.

Specific aims
The aims of the course are teaching the following aspects of Clinical psychology: history of clinical Psy-chology; re-search methods in clinical; theories of classification and diagnosis in adult; clinical inter-view; assessment; testing with MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF; treatment and psychotherapies.

Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and comprehension skills re-lated clinical psychology using psychological methods and integrating that with biological, social, cultural systems.

Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of this course, the students will be able to conduct a first interview/intake session, to formulate a case accor-ding to the data collected during the case formulation and the competencies necessary for point out a therapeutic plan coherent with the diagnosis and the formulation of the clinical cases.

Making judgements
At the end of the course, students will be able to develop personal, but reliable hypotheses, evidence-based, about: what to investigate during a first interview/intake session according to the different clinical features of the patient; how to deal with psychopathological topics encountered during the interview; how to integrate these data in a diagnostic pic-ture and in coherent and comprehensive case formulation.

Communication skills
At the end of the course, the students will be able in communicating skills related to clinical psychology. The students will be able to illustrate, from a psychological perspective, the characteristics of the sbj or of the couple to specialists and non-specialist interlocutors in the field of clinical psychology, psychiatry and sexual medicine. The students will be able to explain how they would choose the kind of first interview and counsel to conduct, according to the different clinical situations related to various clinical dysfunctions, how they would decide if and what to inquire and how they develop their hypotheses about the patient’s func-tioning and problems on the basis of the characteristics in communi-cations, behaviours, emotions and problems of the patients with or without psycho-clinical diagnosis.

Learning skills
During the course, the students will be given a set of references by which they will be able to deepen their understan-ding of how to deal with specific and complex clinical situations from a psychology perspective. In particular, she/he is expected to develop specific and autonomous learning skills related to clinical psy-chology with rudimental elements of sexual functioning.

- 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!

10591764 - 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.

10591759 - PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR (obiettivi)
Aims

General aims
The course will lead the student to acquire the main knowledge and skills in the field of sexual response problems, un-derstood as a somatopsychic and psychosomatic events. The frontal lectures will allow to transmit the most updated theoretical-scientific contents and to motivate a critical thinking of the students about them. The laboratory, through practical activities, will allow the students to experience the application of acquired knowledge, in particular in the de-sign of prevention interventions and research projects, but above all through the discussion of clinical cases according to the biopsychosocial model

Specific aims

Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the students will have an adequate knowledge of the biological, psychological and cultural aspects that characterize male and female sexual function and dysfunction. Moreover, they will have got the basics for the diagnosis and the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. The acquisition of such knowledge will also allow a critical re-flection on the research and development of the discipline itself.

Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student will be able to orientate him/herself on the most frequent disorders of sexual func-tion, because he/she will have experienced, especially during the laboratory, the ability to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge to the clinical, the research and the educational fields with reference to the use of a multidisciplinary team (as required by the biopsychosocial model).

Making judgements
At the end of the course, through the practical activities of the laboratory (working in small groups) and the facilitation of active participation during the frontal lectures, the student will be able to integrate the knowledge and reflect inde-pendently on the biopsychosocial variables involved in the onset and mainte-nance of sexual symptoms and disorders. Furthermore, the theoretical concepts will be included within dif-ferent realities such as disability, gender discrimina-tion, sexual abuse and risky behaviours. Students will also be encouraged to reflect on the topics covered during the course and encouraged to express personal judgments even in the presence of limited or incomplete information. They will also be stimulated to take into account the social and ethical responsibilities related to the application of clinical knowledge and judgments.

Communication skills
At the end of the course, through the practical activities of the laboratory and the active participation stimu-lated du-ring the lectures, the student will be able to communicate the acquired knowledge with a suitable professional and technical language based on the specific interlocutors (specialists and non-specialists) with whom they will have to in-terface, being able to illustrate the processes that led to their acquisition.

Learning skills
The course will provide specific clinical and research skills and terminologies. Furthermore, the bases will be laid and the instruments will be set up for a future personal deepening and a continuous and autono-mous updating of the di-scipline through specific scientific channels.

10591761 - PSYCHOMETRY AND PSYCHOMETRIC EVALUATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE (obiettivi)
Aims

General aims
The course aims to provide students with an introduction to issues related to health, wellbeing, and quality of life, as well as a deepening of psychometric methods and statistical techniques to quantify "humanistic outcomes." The measurement of these "outcomes" is increasingly appreciated in the eval-uation of the effectiveness of health interven-tions, including the clinical interventions, and it is based entirely on the collection of information related to the pa-tient's point of view, using psychophysical methods of scaling or methods psychometric construction and validation of questionnaires.
The lectures are designed to deal with the conceptual aspects of the theory of measurement in psy-chology (reliability, validity), as well as prepare students for the conceptual definition of physical, men-tal and social health, wellbeing and quality of life. The laboratory offers students the opportunity to ex-periment with the administration, scoring, and in-terpretation of measures of health and quality of life; to practice the methods of data analysis necessary to evaluate the psychometric properties of health measures; to deal with the translation, validation and norming aspects of a self-assessment health questionnaire. Attendance at workshop classes is strongly recommended.

Specific aims

knowledge and understanding
Students who successfully pass the exam will be able to understand: issues related to the measure-ment of health, wellbeing, and quality of life; the concepts of reliability and validity of health measures reported by patients; the basic principles of "classical" and "modern" psychometric theories. Further-more, they will be able to understand the con-struction methods and the linguistic and cultural adapta-tion of questionnaires related to the measure of "humanistic outcomes"; will know the primary meth-ods of data analysis applied to the measurement of health

applying knowledge and understanding
Students who pass the exam will be able to consciously use a wide range of psychometric tools for clinical assessment; knowing how to translate, adapt, and validate a psychometric health assessment tool; to be able to independently con-duct the analyzes necessary to demonstrate the reliability and va-lidity of these tools.

making judgements
Students who pass the exam will mindfully use a wide range of psychometric tools for clinical assess-ment; knowing how to translate, adapt, and validate psychometric health assessment tools. They will be able to independently con-duct the analyzes necessary to demonstrate the reliability and validity of these tools.

communication skills
Students who pass the exam will have acquired the mastery of the technical vocabulary of the psy-chometric discipli-ne, and of the health sciences that constitute the application field of these techniques. The mastery of this vocabulary will allow students to interface both with the more strictly clinical as-pects of the discipline and with other professio-nals who converge in the health sciences.

learning skills
Passing the exam implies the acquisition of learning skills that can be spent in the specific context of psychometrics applied to health, and in the more general autonomy in reading advanced scientific texts, which will be addressed in the course of studies, and in particular in the preparation of the de-gree thesis. Furthermore, the practical laboratory ac-tivities allow the student to be able to learn appli-cable crossover methodologies in the solution of patient evaluation problems.

At the end of the course, the students will be able to explain how they would choose the kind of first interview to conduct according to the different clinical situations related to deviances, how they would de-cide if and what to inquire and how they deve-lop their hypotheses about the patient’s functioning and prob-lems on the basis of the characteristics in communica-tions, behaviours, emotions and problems of the pa-tients abused or abusing.

Learning skills
During the course, the students will be given a set of references by which they will be able to deepen their understan-ding of how to deal with specific and complex clinical situations in deviances and paraphilias.

General aims
This course is aimed at clinicians, mental health professionals, counsellors, ethicists, basic researchers, fertility staff with an interest in the area of sexuality and fertility. It will combine expertise from the fields of clinic, sexology, psycho-logy, ethics, patient-centered care including the importance of sexuality within fertility care. This includes an opportu-nity to learn about the relationship between sexual functioning and infertility, sexual dysfunctions, issues of discrimi-nation and equality, and gender differences. The course will also present interventions to improve sexual well-being and fertility education in sub-fertile and infertile couples, and the incorporation of communication about sexual diffi-culties in the clinic's routine care. Participants will hear the latest evidence-based guidelines on how to assess sexual functioning and to support patients to produce better outcomes related to sexual wellbeing.

Specific aims
- To increase understanding of how to approach the question of sexuality in fertility patients
- To update current knowledge on the etiological role of sexual dysfunctions in reproductive health and the im-pact of diagnosis on sexuality
- To learn on how to communicate with patients about their sexuality and sexual problems
- To familarise participants with guidelines and good practice

knowledge and understanding
This course should provide participants with
a) an understanding of the need to approach the patient's sexuality;
b) an updated understanding of the etiological role of sexual dysfunction in reproductive health;
c) an in-depth understanding of the impact on sexuality of trying to conceive and an infertility diagnosis;
d) practical tools and techniques to communicate with patients about their sexuality and sexual problems;
e) familiarity with guidelines and good practice in this area.

applying knowledge and understanding
Tools and processes in the specific field that make knowledge, understanding and thinking visible to both teachers and students can take the form of a wide variety of simple scaffolds. These are designed to prompt or deepen individual or collective thinking, while simultaneously revealing where learners are in their learning at any point in time.

making judgements
Students will have opportunity to demonstrate the depth of their new knowledge and understanding through mea-ningful application and sharing with an audience.

communication skills
Communicate with colleagues at work or with patients is an essential skill. Communication training course combines proven-by-practice methods with new insights and ideas that will grow your communication skills to address different audiences effectively through breakout sessions, exercises, and case applications.

learning skills
Learning skills are often called the 4 C’s: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating. Kee-ping in mind these skills students learn, and so they are vital to success in school and beyond.

General aims
The Educational goals of the course are related to psychopharmacology in sexology. At the end of the course to student shall have acquired the knowledge of the dysfunction present in many psychiatric dis-eases and their psychopharma-cological treatment, as well as the side effects of many psychotropic drugs on sexual functioning, and of the ability to recognize and manage the different situations.

Specific aims

knowledge and understanding
The aims of the course are teaching the following aspects of psychopharmacology in different clinical situ-ations:
Many psychopharmacological treatments often have sexual side effects, which alter the quality of life and very often lead to drop out of treatment
Many subjects with a psychiatric disease have sexual disorders too, as symptoms of the disorder, inde-pendently from pharmachological treatment
Often the two conditions overlap, differential diagnosis and treatment are difficult
Sexual dysfunctions are symptoms of the following psychiatric disorders: depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), eating disorders, psychosis, bipolar disorder
Sexual dysfunctions are side effects of antidepressant treatment, lithium treatment, antipsychotic treatment

At the end of the course, the students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and comprehension skills re-lated to diffe-rential diagnosis between primary and secondary sexual disorders and psychiatric disorders or side effects of drugs

applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of this course, the students will be able to conduct a first interview and write a psychological and psychiatric status of the patient, regarding psychiatric disorder, pharmacological treatment and related sex-ual dysfunction, to formulate a case according to the data collected during these interviews and the compe-tences necessary for developing a therapeutic plan coherent with the diagnosis and the formulation of the clinical cases.

making judgements
About 70% of the course will be based on academic lectures and the left 30% will consist in group discus-sions of ac-tual clinical sessions of clinical cases, developing the student’s abilities in making clinical judge-ments, diagnosis, dif-ferential diagnosis and therapeutic choices. At the end of the course, students will be able to develop personal, but re-liable hypotheses, evidence-based, about: what to investigate during a first interview/intake session according to the different clinical features of the patient and his/her disorder: sexu-al dysfunction related to psychiatric disorders, psy-chiatric drugs, both, and plan treatment options for each different clinical case.

communication skills
At the end of the course, the students will be particularly able in understanding differences between sexual symptoms of major psychiatric disorders and sexual side effects of psychotropic drugs. They will be able to conduct a clinical in-terview focused on these topics. At the end of the course, the students will be able to support psychiatrists in building a treatment plan for both clinical situation, integrating psychological support with psychopharmacological treatment. In particular, they will be skilled in working for enhancing adher-ence to treatment.

learning skills
During the course, the students will be given indication for technical tools such as slides, text books, DSM-5, and a set of literature references by which they will be able to deepen their understanding of how to deal with specific and com-plex psychiatric and psychological clinical situations with sexual dysfunction, as well as references for differential diagnosis of pychotropic drugs sexual side effects and their treatment.
