Il Rorschach rappresenta ancora oggi lo strumento con maggiori potenzialità diagnostiche nel panorama dell'assessment di personalità. Malgrado ciò, le questioni irrisolte sul piano metodologico e teorico-interpretativo continuano a minare la credibilità e l'utilità del test, portando le ricerche degli ultimi dieci anni a spostare l'attenzione su alcuni aspetti cruciali del suo futuro impiego. Il presente manuale, oltre a rappresentare un'agile guida clinico-interpretativa dello strumento corredata da numerosi casi clinici ed esempi di refertazioni, nasce proprio con l'intento di aggiornare il professionista rispetto ai più recenti sviluppi applicativi del test, quali l'utilizzo collaborativo/terapeutico e l'ambito giuridico-peritale. Degni di nota sono il capitolo degli autori sulle principali configurazioni di indicatori al test facilmente riscontrabili in contesti giuridico-peritali, e le ultime linee guida in ambito clinico e forense, approvate dal Centro Italiano Psicodiagnostica Integrata (CIPI), punto di riferimento metodologico e deontologico di qualsiasi esperto Rorschach.

While in a Russian-administered holding camp in Katowice, Poland, in 1945, Primo Levi was asked to provide a report on living conditions in Auschwitz. Published the following year, it was then forgotten, and has until now remained unknown to a wider public.

Dating from the weeks and months immediately after the war, Auschwitz Report details the authors’ harrowing deportation to Auschwitz, and how those who disembarked from the train were selected for work or extermination. As well as being a searing narrative of everyday life in the camp, and the organization and working of the gas chambers, it constitutes Levi’s first lucid attempts to come to terms with the raw horror of events that would drive him to create some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature and testimony. Auschwitz Report is a major literary and historical discovery.

Rivolto a psicologi, psicoterapeuti, psichiatri e a tutti coloro che a diverso titolo lavorano nel settore della psicodiagnosi, questo manuale pratico-operativo costituisce il primo tentativo di restituire validità ad un test che sin dalla sua creazione ha risentito troppo della mancanza di una solida base scientifica. Grazie al lavoro di diversi esperti del settore, appartenenti al Centro Italiano Psicodiagnostica Integrata (CIPI), si sono potuti coniugare i tradizionali indici interpretativi presenti nella letteratura mondiale con le evidenze empiriche di una ricca casistica clinica. L'unione tra 'vecchio' e 'nuovo' permette oggi di proporre il Test del Disegno della Casa come un valido strumento nella diagnosi della personalità, sia nel contesto clinico che in quello giuridico-peritale, per comprendere al meglio il funzionamento psichico di bambini, adolescenti e adulti. La presenza di numerosi disegni, l'esplicazione dei casi clinici e gli esempi di refertazione psicodiagnostica completano il manuale rendendolo un'opera di facile consultazione e di immediata applicazione pratica.

La copiosa corrispondenza tra Leonardo Sciascia e Roberto Roversi - più di duecento lettere, finora del tutto inedite - testimonia una profonda stima reciproca che con il passare del tempo diventa robusta amicizia. Dai consigli di lettura all'invio di dolci natalizi, dalle richieste di libri d'antiquariato ai commenti su scrittori contemporanei, l'intenso carteggio mostra due importanti protagonisti del panorama letterario del Novecento e il loro deciso impegno civile e politico per lo sviluppo democratico del nostro Paese. Si tratta di pagine - a volte affettuose, a volte telegrafiche - che lasciano intravedere anche teneri momenti di vita privata. Un aperto e stimolante confronto tra due grandi 'utopisti' -come li definisce Antonio Motta - che si scambiano idee, giudizi, emozioni, progetti offrendo al lettore un prezioso spaccato del lavoro culturale di una generazione straordinaria.

This volume examines the location of memories and histories of popular music and its multiple pasts, exploring the different ‘places’ in which popular music can be situated, including the local physical site, the museum storeroom and exhibition space, and the digitized archive and display space made possible by the internet. Contributors from a broad range of disciplines such as archive studies, popular music studies, media and cultural studies, leisure and tourism, sociology, museum studies, communication studies, cultural geography, and social anthropology visit the specialized locus of popular music histories and heritage, offering diverse set of approaches. Popular music studies has increasingly engaged with popular music histories, exploring memory processes and considering identity, collective and cultural memory, and notions of popular culture’s heritage values, yet few accounts have spatially located such trends to focus on the spaces and places where we encounter and engender our relationship with popular music’s history and legacies. This book offers a timely re-evaluation of such sites, reinserting them into the narratives of popular music and offering new perspectives on their function and significance within the production of popular music heritage. Bringing together recent research based on extensive fieldwork from scholars of popular music studies, cultural sociology, and museum studies, alongside the new insights of practice-based considerations of current practitioners within the field of popular music heritage, this is the first collection to address the interdisciplinary interest in situating popular music histories, heritages, and pasts. The book will therefore appeal to a wide and growing academic readership focused on issues of heritage, cultural memory, and popular music, and provide a timely intervention in a field of study that is engaging scholars from across a broad spectrum of disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical perspectives.

Tutti gli indici descritti, sui quali si fonda l'interpretazione, sono tratti sia dai recenti studi di carattere internazionale, sia dalla tradizione scientifica in materia, ma anche dalle evidenze empiriche di chi da anni ha a che fare quotidianamente con i test psicologici nella clinica e nelle aule di tribunale.

Il postumano è lo spazio geometrico in cui si tratteggia un'altra umanità, al di là degli steccati individualisti e antropocentrici, ibridata con l'animalità e la tecnica. Se è vero che la nostra idea di umanità nasce in opposizione a quella di animalità, con Aristotele, Cartesio o Heidegger, è altrettanto vero che una nuova idea di umano può cominciare solo dalla rottura dei confini umani/non umani che falsamente abbiamo edificato. Leonardo Caffo e Roberto Marchesini dialogano, attraverso la filosofia e la letteratura, la scienza e la politica, cominciando a dipingere questo affresco di ibridazione tra i viventi in cui esistere significa, finalmente, esistere insieme. Non un libro sulla 'questione animale', dunque, ma proprio sulla 'questione umana', perché è impossibile pensare un altrove se prima non mettiamo ordine tra le presunte magnifiche sorti e progressive.

Along the undisturbed shores, especially of the Mediterranean Sea and the European North Atlantic Ocean, is a quite widespread plant called Beta maritima by botanists, or more commonly sea beet. Nothing, for the inexperienced observer's eye, distinguishes it from surrounding wild vegetation. Despite its inconspicuous and nearly invisible flowers, the plant has had and will have invaluable economic and scientific importance. Indeed, according to Linnè, it is considered 'the progenitor of the beet crops possibly born from Beta maritima in some foreign country'.  Recent molecular research confirmed this lineage. Selection applied after domestication has created many cultivated types with different destinations. The wild plant always has been harvested and used both for food and as a medicinal herb. Sea beet crosses easily with the cultivated types. This facilitates the transmission of genetic traits lost during domestication, which selection processes aimed only at features immediately useful to farmers and consumers may have depleted. Indeed, as with several crop wild relatives, Beta maritima has been successfully used to improve cultivated beet's genetic resistances against many diseases and pests. In fact, sugar beet cultivation currently would be impossible in many countries without the recovery of traits preserved in the wild germplasm.  Dr. Enrico Biancardi graduated from Bologna University. From 1977 until 2009, he was involved in sugar beet breeding activity by the Istituto Sperimentale per le Colture Industriali (ISCI) formerly Stazione Sperimentale di Bieticoltura (Rovigo, Italy), where he released rhizomania and cercospora resistant germplasm and collected seeds of Mediterranean sea beet populations as a genetic resource for breeding and ex situ conservation.  Retired since 2009, he still collaborates with several working breeders, in particular, at the USDA Agricultural Research Stations, at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science (CAAS), and at the Athens University (AUA). He has edited books, books chapters and authored more than 150 papers.Dr. Lee Panella is a plant breeder and geneticist with the USDA-ARS at Fort Collins, Colorado.  He earned his B.S. in Crop and Soil Science from Michigan State University, an M.S. in Plant Breeding from Texas A&M University, and a Ph.D. in genetics from the University of California at Davis.  His research focus is developing disease resistant germplasm using sugar beet wild relatives.  He is chairman of the USDA-ARS Sugar Beet Crop Germplasm Committee and has collected and worked extensively with sea beet.  Dr. Robert T. Lewellen was raised on a ranch in Eastern Oregon and obtained a B.S. in Crop Science from Oregon State University followed by a Ph.D. from Montana State University in Genetics. From 1966 to 2008 he was a research geneticist for the USDA-ARS at Salinas, California, where he studied the genetics of sugar beet and as a plant breeder, often used sea beet as a genetic source to produce many pest and disease resistant sugar beet germplasm and parental lines, while authoring more than 100 publications.
