“…Such an interpretation is supported in those studies (Thorberg and Lyvers 2006) that have shown that addicts reported significantly higher levels of affect intensity compared to non-addict controls. Now, according to a clinical standpoint, one can observe that the condition of intense affective activation triggers a homogenizing form of thinking (Bria 1999;Salvatore and Freda 2011), that in turn reduces the capacity to distinguish between reality and desire, between the value attributed to one's own beliefs and their consistency with facts. Thus, the more the affective activation, the more the inability to learn from reality, to use reality for the regulation of one's thoughts, desires and beliefs, therefore to tackle social constraints and requirements effectively Venuleo and Salvatore 2008).…”

“…Based on a recent joint psychodynamic and semiotic research perspective (Salvatore and Pagano 2005;Guidi and Salvatore 2013;Mossi and Salvatore 2011;Salvatore and Freda 2011;Salvatore andVenuleo 2008, 2013), the symbolic universe can be understood as the interweaving of generalized meanings encompassing the whole experience of the social environment. 2 Meanings are the byproduct of an ongoing process of sensemaking unfolding through discursive and behavioral practices (Salvatore andVenuleo 2009, 2013).…”

It is recognised that cultural factors play a role in the onset and continuation of several mental health problems. However, there is a significant lack of empirical studies investigating the relationships between cultural factors and gambling behavior. This study assessed whether the subjective cultures through which subjects interpret and enact their experience of the social environment play a major role in increasing (or decreasing) the probability of pathological gambling. Participants, recruited in three different contexts (public health services for the treatment of addiction, casino, undergraduate course) were subjected to the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) (Lesieur and Blume in Am J Psychiatry 144(9):1184-1188, 1987), in order to identify a group of pathological gamblers-and with the Questionnaire on the Interpretation of the Social Environment (QUISE) (Mossi and Salvatore in Eur J Educ Psychol 4(2):153-169, 2011)-in order to detect their subjective cultures. The study compares pathological group (scoring >5 on SOGS, n = 34) and a healthy control group (scoring <1 on SOGS, n = 35). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare groups on QUISE scores of subjective culture. Moreover, a logistic regression was applied in order to esteem the capability of the QUISE scores to differentiate between pathological gamblers and control. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that pathological group expresses different subjective cultures compared with no gambler subjects. The theoretical and clinical implications of the results are discussed.

“…The emotion, emerging from the relation with the context, produces movement and a propositional function, which is a point of reference for the symbolic process in progress. An emotion doesn't coincide with an emotional background or with an abstract meaning, an emotion is a device used to classify events and meanings of our experiences (Angus and McLeod 2004;McLeod 2006), an emotion is an act of emotional signification (Salvatore and Freda 2011). Emotional semiosis is a categorization that generalizes and homogenizes the field of experience; it does not focus on the characteristic of the single experience, but treats it as a class (Salvatore and Freda 2011).…”

“…With my short contribution I would like to explore, from a psychodynamic and semiotic perspective (Salvatore 2004;Salvatore et al 2003Salvatore et al , 2008Freda 2008a, b;Salvatore and Freda 2011), the issue made by the authors about "depicting and explaining the semiotic-dialogical process by which the proto-narratives emerged and evolved throughout therapy and their relation with mutual in-feeding maintenance and transformation" (Ribeiro and Gonçalves in this volume). Protonarratives are recurrent meanings or themes emerging during psychotherapy through innovative moments (IMs) that are different from the ones present in the dominant self-narrative.…”

In this paper the author comments on the contribution by António P. Ribeiro and Miguel M. Gonçalves (in this journal) that offer a creative and unique perspective on maintenance and transformation of problematic self-narrative. From here the author contributes to the topic through the exploration of some issues: a) the relation, in the dialogical process of self-narrative construction, between semiotic processes that give voice to the semantic opposition and semiotic processes that give voice to the contradictory; b) the relation between sameness and ipseity in the self-narrative process; c) the role of a pathemic axis of meaning in the generation process of self-narratives. A final reflection is done on narrative as a device of clinical intervention in which the author makes a distinction between methods based on the recognition and extension of variability and methods based on the recognition of permanency so to get to variability.

“…A pesquisa: teoria, objetivos e método À luz destas premissas teóricas, este trabalho posiciona-se numa estrutura teórica culturalista de matriz socioconstrutivista e psicodinâmica (ANOLLI;2011;BRUNER, 1990;COLE, 1996;GER-GEN, 2001;SALVATORE;FREDA, 2011) que considera a família um microcontexto ou "comunidade cultural" (ROGOFF, 2003) na qual se coconstrói, compartilha e modifica o significado simbólico do projeto formativo (BYNG-HALL, 1995;FRYBERG;MARKUS, 2007). Esta, no seu papel de acomodação e propagação da cultura (MINUCHIN, 1974), reproduz a cultura do macrossistema nos seus componentes e contribui para a sua própria geração mediando os códigos específicos da sua história.…”

Resumo: A literatura evidencia o importante papel da família nos percursos formativos universitários dos seus filhos. Este estudo, a partir da perspectiva da psicologia cultural de matriz socioconstrutivista e psicodinâmica, explora a relação entre os Modelos Culturais de 270 estudantes da Universidade de Salerno e 270 dos seus pais. Ambos foram submetidos ao questionário Q.I.U. (Questionário Imagem Universidade) que se refere à metodologia ISO. Os dados submetidos à análise multidimensional evidenciaram uma continuidade entre os Modelos Culturais de filhos e pais no que respeita ao contexto social e universitário.Palavras-chave: Família. Estudante. Universidade. Cultura. Pais.
