Intensive Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy

An Integrated Model

By: Marco Sambin,Francesco Scotta

Intensive Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy: An Integrated Model (ITAP) introduces a new approach of psychotherapy. Based on psychodynamic foundations, the ITAP integrates the most recent trends in short-term dynamic psychotherapy and Transactional Analysis. This book develops an innovative, clear and complete clinical model of ITAP, and introduces the reader, step-by-step, to the theoretical basis underlying the technique of this intervention. The authors introduce the therapeutic procedure by bringing together the theory with brief clinical examples, thereby demonstrating the attitude of the intense therapist as well as which theoretical pathways to take to progress with the patient. In addition to the modulation of the technique based on the level of the patient’s suffering, there is also a systematic examination of which cases should be treated with ITAP, and in what way. Intensive Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy is a therapy which can be easily used by all therapists, and this book will be of great interest to Transactional Analysis therapists and other therapists interested in Transactional Analysis and short-term dynamic psychotherapy.

Mondo Exotica

Sounds, Visions, Obsessions of the Cocktail Generation

By: Francesco Adinolfi

Tiki torches, cocktails, la dolce vita, and the music that popularized them—Mondo Exotica offers a behind-the-scenes look at the sounds and obsessions of the Space Age and Cold War period as well as the renewed interest in them evident in contemporary music and design. The music journalist and radio host Francesco Adinolfi provides extraordinary detail about artists, songs, albums, and soundtracks, while also presenting an incisive analysis of the ethnic and cultural stereotypes embodied in exotica and related genres. In this encyclopedic account of films, books, TV programs, mixed drinks, and above all music, he balances a respect for exotica’s artistic innovations with a critical assessment of what its popularity says about postwar society in the United States and Europe, and what its revival implies today. Adinolfi interviewed a number of exotica greats, and Mondo Exotica incorporates material from his interviews with Martin Denny, Esquivel, the Italian film composers Piero Piccioni and Piero Umiliani, and others. It begins with an extended look at the postwar popularity of exotica in the United States. Adinolfi describes how American bachelors and suburbanites embraced the Polynesian god Tiki as a symbol of escape and sexual liberation; how Les Baxter’s album Ritual of the Savage (1951) ushered in the exotica music craze; and how Martin Denny’s Exotica built on that craze, hitting number one in 1957. Adinolfi chronicles the popularity of performers from Yma Sumac, “the Peruvian Nightingale,” to Esquivel, who was described by Variety as “the Mexican Duke Ellington,” to the chanteuses Eartha Kitt, Julie London, and Ann-Margret. He explores exotica’s many sub-genres, including mood music, crime jazz, and spy music. Turning to Italy, he reconstructs the postwar years of la dolce vita, explaining how budget spy films, spaghetti westerns, soft-core porn movies, and other genres demonstrated an attraction to the foreign. Mondo Exotica includes a discography of albums, compilations, and remixes.

Innovation, Democracy and Efficiency

Exploring the Innovation Puzzle within the European Union’s Regional Development Policies

By: Francesco Grillo,Raffaella Y. Nanetti

Endogenous growth theory has significantly impacted most of the developing and developed countries, shifting priorities of industrial policies towards innovation. In line with this trend, the European Union significantly increased its budgetary allocation for R&D. However, statistical data show a weak correlation between R&D expenditure and the acceleration of economic growth. Regional innovation policies display divergent returns according to different institutional conditions and policy choices. Grillo and Nanetti attempt to understand the reasons that lie behind differences in performance. Their results show that better performing innovation strategies require the following factors: clear choices of locally congruent smart specialization; strong capacity of public investment to stimulate additional private investment; clear distribution of responsibilities for decision-making and independence of policy implementation from political interference; and problem solving partnerships amongst innovators, universities, and governments that pre-exist the programmes. These factors point to a relationship between democracy (defined as openness of policy-making) and innovation (as technology-enabled growth) which is explored throughout this book.

Agriculture and Public Goods

The Role of Collective Action

By: Francesco Vanni

The debate on the future orientation of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is increasingly shaped by the role of agriculture in providing public goods, and there is a broad consensus that this approach will be particularly relevant in legitimating the policy intervention in agriculture in the future. In the context of this debate, it is not clear to what extent collective action could be taken into consideration as a valuable alternative to market or state regulation in contributing to the provision of public goods, and to what extent it is possible to design and implement agricultural policies that incorporate a collective and collaborative approach between different stakeholders in rural areas. Through an in depth analysis two case studies in Italy, the book provides insights to both the policy and the theoretical debate on the role of collective action for the public goods associated to agriculture.

Bacterial Degradation of Organic and Inorganic Materials

Staphylococcus aureus Meets the Nanoworld

By: Marziale Milani,Roberta Curia,Natalia Vladimirovna Shevlyagina,Francesco Tatti

This interdisciplinary work deals with the bacterial degradation of organic and inorganic materials such as prosthetic devices and the consequent production of non-engineered nanoparticles (NPs). Focus is put on the interaction of these, often toxic, NPs with the environment, the microorganisms and the host human body. Electron Microscopy is the method of choice to investigate bacterial colonization and degradation of plastic polymers. Hence one section of the book is fully dedicated to the most recent and interesting microscopy technologies in microbiology and soft matters. The final chapter of the book on the complex and multivariate relationships between a microscopist and electron microscopy images is dedicated to Lyubov Vasilievna Didenko (1958 – 2015), a passionate researcher who contributed substantially to the field of Electron Microscopy research and its applications in studying bacterial-polymer interactions. The book addresses researchers and advanced students working in general and clinical microbiology, nanobiology, materials sciences and image analysis fields.

Around the world in 80 days with Pope Francis

By: Francesco Primerano

Around the World in 80 Days with Pope Francis you could be summed up in a series of apostolic journeys and pastoral visits that he has addressed with great passion and devotion during the two and a half years of his pontificate. These paths are called Apostolic because the Pope is the successor of the Apostle Peter and are considered travel courtesy diplomatic heads of state or local representatives of the host State. The Pope seeks to spread joy and love messages traveling between different locations around the world and meeting all the human race. With this manual you want to review again the apostolic journeys of our dear Pope during his 21⁄2 years of pontificate: from Rio De Janeiro to the Holy Land, from the island of Lampedusa in Assisi, from South Korea to the Philippines, from Naples in Turin, from Sarajevo to South America, from Cuba to the United States. Basically we try to celebrate his world tour in 80 days, trying to spread the messages of peace, love and freedom among the fundamental stages of the human being. Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni con Papa Francesco si potrebbe riassumere in una serie di viaggi apostolici e di visite pastorali che lui stesso ha affrontato con grande passione e tanta devozione nel corso dei due anni e mezzo del suo pontificato. Questi percorsi vengono chiamati Apostolici in quanto il Papa è il successore dell'apostolo Pietro e sono da considerarsi viaggi di cortesia diplomatici tra capi di Stato o rappresentanze locali dello Stato ospitante. Il Papa cerca di diffondere gioia e messaggi d'amore, viaggiando tra le diverse località del mondo e incontrando ogni razza umana. Con questo manuale si vogliono ripercorrere i vari viaggi apostolici del nostro caro Papa nel corso dei suoi 2 anni e mezzo di Pontificato: da Rio De Janeiro alla Terra Santa, dall'Isola di Lampedusa ad Assisi, dalla Corea del Sud alle Filippine, da Napoli a Torino, da Sarajevo al Sud America, da Cuba agli Stati Uniti. In sostanza si cerca di celebrare il suo giro del mondo in 80 giorni, cercando di diffondere i suoi messaggi di pace, amore e libertà tra le tappe fondamentali dell'essere umano.

Pope Francis on the Jubilee of mercy

By: Francesco Primerano

The humility, loyalty, goodness, joy of life, tolerance, some are moral wealth of Pope Francis. Indeed without the importance of these values would not exist this our friend, the same friend that changed decisively and sincere habits of our dull existence. You can define a genuine Pope saying real things: words of truth and humility are his strength. Despite its simplicity, he decides about everything that could go on in the church and surroundings. For these and other reasons the essential December 8, 2015 began a year of mercy, which will conclude at the end of 2016: an unprecedented jubilee in which Francis puts his will, his strength, his tenacity and a lot of planning. A Jubilee that takes place not only in the basilicas of Rome, but also in every diocese in the world and in all places of pain. L'umiltà, la lealtà, la bontà, la gioia di vivere, la tolleranza, risultano alcune ricchezze morali di Papa Francesco. Effettivamente senza l'importanza di questi valori non esisterebbe questo nostro amico, lo stesso amico che ha cambiato in maniera decisa e sincera le abitudini della nostra noiosa esistenza. Si può definire un Papa autentico che dice cose reali: parole di verità e di umiltà sono la sua forza. Pur nella sua semplicità, decide su tutto ciò che potrebbe andare avanti nella chiesa e dintorni. Per questi ed altri essenziali motivi l'8 dicembre 2015 ha avuto inizio un anno di misericordia che si concluderà a fine 2016: un giubileo senza precedenti in cui Francesco ci mette la sua volontà, la sua forza, la sua tenacia e molta progettualità. Un Giubileo che si svolge non soltanto nelle basiliche di Roma, ma anche in tutte le diocesi del mondo e in tutti i luoghi del dolore.

Ave Maria

By: Papa Francesco,

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Ave Maria

By: Papa Francesco,

Ave, Maria, piena di grazia": così comincia la preghiera che ci viene insegnata fin da bambini e che, soprattutto nelle difficoltà, riaffiora sulle labbra e nei cuori. "Dio saluta una donna, la saluta con una verità grande: 'Io ti ho fatto piena del mio amore, piena di me, e così come sarai piena di me sarai piena del mio Figlio e poi di tutti i figli della Chiesa'. Ma la grazia non finisce lì: la bellezza della Madonna è una bellezza che dà frutto, una bellezza madre." In questo nuovo libro, Papa Francesco affronta il mistero di Maria percorrendo verso per verso l'Ave Maria in un dialogo vivo e fertile con don Marco Pozza, teologo e cappellano del carcere di Padova. La Madonna "è la normalità, è una donna che qualsiasi donna di questo mondo può dire di poter imitare": "lavorava, faceva la spesa, aiutava il Figlio, aiutava il marito". Eppure, questa creatura "normale" diventa lo strumento di una nuova creazione, di un nuovo patto: "all'inizio la ri-creazione è il dialogo tra Dio e una donna sola". Ed è sulla donna e il suo ruolo che s'impernia la riflessione del Papa: "La Chiesa è donna, la Chiesa non è maschio, non è 'il' Chiesa. Noi chierici siamo maschi, ma noi non siamo la Chiesa". Nella seconda parte del volume, l'Ave Maria entra in carcere, segno e mezzo di conversione e consolazione.
