In this paper, the author addresses the issue of relationship between the organ transplantation and the migratory experience. In the transplant practice the organs “migrate”, prolonging their own existence and at the same time ensuring life to the recipient. The experience of organ transplantation shocks not only the body, but also the sense of Self, and the integration process is very complicated, because the hospitality is inseparable from the intrusion. The alienating experience of transplantation reveals the foreign in our own bodies. The new organ, in fact, is an intensily ambiguous object, that evokes the Freudian concept of Unheimlich. In this contribution the author tries to identify some analytical paths that could favour the psychosomatic integration of transplanted organs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Qual è la relazione tra benessere digitale e benessere nel digitale? Pur appartenendo a due campi semantici affini, la prima delle due espressioni si riferisce all’insieme di risorse (personali e collettive), tools, app ed accorgimenti tecnico-regolativi, ideati da chi progetta il web ed i suoi contenuti, per far sì che le persone navighino nel web secondo i principi di sicurezza e benessere; la seconda si centra maggiormente sull’azione diretta delle persone nel digitale e chiama in causa le capacità critiche e riflessive dei singoli nel muoversi in qualsiasi tipo di ambiente, reale o virtuale che sia. Il benessere digitale è soprattutto frutto del lavoro di chi ha il compito di rendere l’esperienza di fruizione del virtuale il più confortevole possibile. Il benessere nel digitale è un atto volitivo, conoscitivo ed euristico durante il quale, a partire dall’identificazione dei nostri bisogni e desideri, proviamo a trovare una loro soddisfazione nel digitale. Se da un lato l’applicazione dei principi dell’ergonomia alla costruzione degli spazi digitali risulta fondamentale per promuovere il benessere digitale, dall’altra esistono diversi tipi di App che propongono ai fruitori esperienze di benessere variamente declinate. Risulta, comunque, di fondamentale importanza coniugare lo sviluppo di competenze personali di natura affettiva e cognitiva con la costruzione di habitat digitali centrati sulla persona al fine di garantire il Ben-Essere delle persone che, in maniera parziale o totale, abitano il virtuale.

This work starts from the examination of the characteristics of the scientific literature concerning autism disorders and from the analysis of the needs of the autistic subject and his family. It is focuses on the description of an integrated clinical model called Autism Open Clinical Model (A. - O. C. M.). It constitutes the hypothesis of a basic approach with which to face the evaluation and treatment of autism spectrum disorders. The A- O.C.M. represents an open system which, although starting from the integration of three models: applied behavioural analysis, Cognitive-behavioural Therapy and Gestalt Therapy, was designed to be enriched by contributions from other models and settings. It is a clinical model in continuous evolution which therefore constitutes an open system. The aim is to develop a scientific production and clinical practice characterized by a constant and profound work of comparison, integration and dialogue between scholars. It will be highlighted how this aspect, although essential to a scientific discourse, is, however, currently lacking. Therefore, in the light of the state of the art of autism research, the basic structure of the model will be described. Starting from its epistemological premise, principles and characteristics will be defined. Finally, the clinical implications will be investigated.

This work presents some insights derived from a four-session analysis with a young man. Through clinical observations and theoretical considerations, the author sheds light on the intricate processes that unfold on the path towards integration and psychological growth. The contribution delves into clinical experiences and theoretical inquiries centered around the early phases of psychic development, which profoundly shape one’s sense of self. A notable emphasis is placed on the primal communicative bond between mother and newborn, rooted in the melodic tones of the maternal language and the harmonious exchange that emerges in the initial interactions. As the reader navigates through the narrative, he/she encounter various themes: the challenges of integration, the anxieties of non-integration, the internal dynamics revolving around Oedipal issues, the interplay of aggressive and sexual impulses, and the intricate complexities of transference and countertransference. Ultimately, the author raises thought-provoking questions about the analyst’s role in tolerating and facilitating the process of psychic elaboration as the analysis nears its conclusion.

Questa recente pubblicazione nasce in relazione ad un Articolo di Ricerca pubblicato nel 2021 su Phenomena Journal e rappresenta una ulteriore profonda riflessione in merito all’efficacia che potrebbe avere una tipologia di Trattamento Integrato in soggetti e/o giovani adulti con Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico ad Alto Funzionamento che presentano una comorbidità con un Disturbo Ossessivo-Compulsivo. A seguito di quanto sopra espresso, all’interno di questo articolo di ricerca, ci si propone di approfondire, ulteriormente, il Caso Clinico specifico di A., di cui già si è accennato nella precedente pubblicazione; A. è un giovane adulto con Disturbo dello Spetto Autistico ad Alto Funzionamento frequentante il Centro Diurno per l’Autismo, il quale, in concomitanza del periodo di lockdown causato dalla pandemia, inizia a manifestare una sintomatologia che caratterizza un Disturbo Ossessivo-Compulsivo. Per cui, inizialmente, nel precedente articolo, ci si è proposti di fare una riflessione sull’utilizzo di eventuali Ipotesi e Metodi sia di Osservazione che di Intervento che potrebbero essere funzionali e spendibili in relazione sia allo specifico Caso Clinico di A. che in relazione a casi clinici simili a questo e che vedono, dunque, l’integrazione di approcci differenti come: l’ABA, l’Approccio Umanistico-Esistenziale; l’Approccio Cognitivo-Razionalista di Ellis (Modello ABC) e/o l’Approccio Cognitivo-Costruttivista ed, infine, l’Approccio Gestaltico Integrato. In questo articolo, ci si propone, inoltre, di effettuare delle nuove Ipotesi di Intervento attraverso l’utilizzo di Processi Terapeutici innovativi, sicuri e rivoluzionari come il lavoro sullo Schema Emotivo Interpersonale e il DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) integrato con l’Approccio Terapeutico ASI di Integrazione Sensoriale e l’Approccio Gestaltico Integrato. Ad oggi, si riscontra come il suddetto Percorso Terapeutico e Riabilitativo ha sicuramente permesso ad A. di poter vivere, nel qui ed ora, uno stile di vita funzionale, gratificante e dignitoso.

This paper will focus on what the author calls the "green factor": the plant world's ability to foster profound healing and self-healing processes. This factor could be considered an element capable of promoting the analytic couple's journey in individuation through a "good enough rhythmical interaction". Such interaction is made possible by creating and maintaining, in therapy, a good level of empathy, mirroring and resonance that -- echoing natural cyclical rhythms primarily in nonverbal communication -- fosters the passage from dissociation to integration. This dynamic depends mainly on paying constant attention to the various kinds of images referring to nature (both inside and outside ourselves), i.e. attention on the "green world" that reconnects us with the wider ecosystem of which we human beings form a part. The author suggests that remembering and respecting the profound relationship between Mind and Earth or Psyche and Gaia means developing and cultivating an ecological attitude or eco-oriented epistemology, a theory according to which, individual wellbeing can be considered a fragment of the health of our planet, in the same way as the individual anima is a spark of anima mundi. This theory has been embraced by numerous scholars ranging from Jung to Bateson, Mancuso and Schore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the Italian system of second reception for asylum seekers and refugees, specifically focusing on the case of the Milan Metropolitan Area. Through a series of in-depth interviews with guests of the SAI Project (Sistema di Accoglienza e Integrazione), the research aims at assessing opportunities and obstacles encountered by forced migrants during their integration process. Particular attention is also paid to the socio-territorial characteristics of the municipalities examined, in order to outline some lines of development for the construction of an inclusive urban space.

Nonostante la iperdiversità linguistica che caratterizza molti contesti nazionali e il valore riconosciuto dalla letteratura scientifica alle lingue dei migranti come risorse per le società ospitanti, l’introduzione di tali lingue nei programmi di istruzione scolastica è una realtà consolidata solo in alcuni paesi europei. L’articolo si propone di identificare gli elementi che riguardano la formulazione degli interventi pubblici che possono condurre a un’efficace didattica delle lingua d’origine dei migranti, nonché le premesse contestuali e istituzionali che possono facilitare o ostacolare l’attivazione di processi di policy learning tra esperienze avanzate di insegnamento delle lingue d’origine (in questo studio, Austria e Svezia) ed esperienze meno avanzate in tal senso (in questo articolo, l’Italia). Il contributo affronta queste tematiche alla luce della teoria del lesson-drawing, comparando i tre sistemi d’istruzione nazionali, selezionati sulla base dei rispettivi approcci e obiettivi rispetto alle lingue dei migranti. La comparazione si sviluppa sia in termini di caratteristiche contestuali che di peculiarità delle specifiche politiche e servizi di didattica delle lingue dei migranti, sulla base di dati raccolti a partire da fonti ufficiali. I risultati della ricerca sono poi discussi alla luce della letteratura rilevante e indicano l’esistenza di molti facilitatori e di alcuni ostacoli all’attivazione di dinamiche di policy learning, proponendo al contempo alcune idee sviluppate a partire dalla comparazione sia per i policymaker che per coloro che sono preposti a erogare i servizi educativi.

The birth of a new sibling can create a state of inner chaos for the first born. Conflict, aggression and regression often occur as the replaced child adjusts to his loss of exclusivity. This paper describes a short analytic sandplay case of a 5-year-old boy manifesting anger and anxiety as the birth of his new sibling approached. Throughout this individuation process, a fluid back and forth movement occurred from regression to progression, and from deintegration to reintegration (Fordham 1988), as he advanced from the regressed Uroboric phase of development, forward to the age-appropriate phase of the Patriarche (Neumann 1990). As he grieved the loss of his exclusive status, Roy worked with his aggressive feelings towards his mother and the new baby, as well as with his feelings of despair. This process developed in the context of a positive maternal transference which allowed for both moments of deep resonance, states of participation mystique, and moments of projected rage and aggression towards the 'abandoning mother'. His work in analysis resulted in an opening of the ego-Self axis, a solidifying of the depressive position, and a movement forward in development. At the end of treatment, an initiatory process into the realm of the 'Father' was activated. Roy's symptoms had diminished and he was ready to leave the regressive pull of the Great Mother and move out into the world of peers, with a strengthened ego and an expanded sense of self.

The subject of exile is a ubiquitous global theme. The result of multiple factors, it insinuates itself into events affecting people's daily lives and the development of countries. Beyond politics, a psychological reading enables us to reflect on its impact, not only on the individual or group but also in relation to the exiled family. The concept of a mythical or archetypal family can help us to clarify what emerges from contact between two communities and the challenges in their encounter. The study of a specific case - Portuguese families adjusting to life in a French-speaking region of Switzerland - reveals a pattern reproduced elsewhere, even though separate in time and space. The cultural shock emanating from a background and approach of different dynamics leads to psychological resistance on both sides - and to a negative prognosis for cultural integration. Analytical work with exiled children and adolescents allows us to glimpse how this theme intertwines with personal psychologies, pointing to its creative solution through the resolution of conflict and openness to diversity - as carried forward by new generations. It is they who are open to multicultural values, showing simultaneously a respect for ancestry and a desire for renewal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last decades, the issue of migration and its management has overlapped with the phenomenon of mountain depopulation Some small towns in Italy have responded in an original way to this double challenge, also through radically innovative projects focused on a possible dialogue among different cultures. The change in the human fabric of the last years involves the evolution of the intangible and therefore cultural heritage, to the point of questioning the concept of tradition as a legacy linked to the territory rather than to people, through original artistic solutions. The present research deals with two areas, Tuscany and Calabria, which are very different in terms of geography, history, and customs, but both equally involved in the recent anthropic changes. In particular, the study focuses on the experience of Borgo San Lorenzo, in Tuscany, where families of asylum seekers with minors in tow have bee hosted. It also focuses on two experiences of welcoming refugees in Camini and Riace, in the province of Reggio Calabria. The essay aims at analysing and comparing the results of these different projects. Da una nuova cultura a una nuova tradizione. Il dialogo culturale in alcuni borghi della Toscana e della Calabria Negli ultimi decenni al fenomeno dello spopolamento della montagna si è sovrapposto quello della gestione dei flussi migratori. Alcune realtà locali hanno risposto in modo originale a questa doppia sfida, anche attraverso progetti radicalmente innovativi come la valorizzazione della tradizione di cui gli ospiti sono portatori. Il cambiamento del tessuto umano cui si sta assistendo in questi anni comporta un'evoluzione del patrimonio immateriale e quindi culturale, al punto da mettere in discussione il concetto di tradizione come eredità legata al territorio e non alle persone, attraverso singolari soluzioni di tipo artistico. La presente ricerca si sviluppa su tre aree diverse per geografia, storia e usanze, ma toccate dal recente mutamento antropico:in Toscana, a Borgo San Lorenzo, il Villaggio La Brocchi ospita famiglie di richiedenti asilo con minori al seguito;in provincia di Reggio Calabria, la ricerca si è focalizzata su due realtà: lo SPRAR di Camini (RC), comune confinante con Riace, in collaborazione con un'associazione internazionale di volontariato; e nella vicina Riace la Casa della Poetessa, costituitasi nell'estate del 2017 con lo scopo di ospitare laboratori ed eventi culturali; infine, come trait d'union tra Toscana e Calabria, si analizzeranno due progetti sul tema dell'accoglienza realizzati dal gruppo di street artist Guerrilla Spam, il primo a Pratovecchio Stia, in provincia di Arezzo, e il secondo a Riace.

This article is part of the ongoing debate on the role that the Italian school can have in contemporary society. A deeply changing society in which the relationship between education and the world of work is changing, the constitution of heterogeneous classes from the point of view of cultural origin is increasing and there is an increase in early school leaving. Part of the literature deals with the problem by looking at the school’s ability to integrate diversity often using a diagnostic approach. Diversity in this logic is hardly conceived as a resource, more often understood as a deficit of the individual or the environment, to be corrected. In this article I propose to think about the integration of diversity as an opportunity for the school to rethink the question posed by pupils and families. I will report an intervention conducted in a school wishing to present itself as a place of educational excellence, grappling with the problem of integrating diversity, with particular reference to cultural diversities. From the reporting of the intervention, developed through the theoretical and methodological model of the analysis of the demand, it is possible to detect how dealing with the experiences that organize the school context will allow dealing with the encounter with cultural differences as an opportunity for the development of the school and its customers.

Gli studi sull’autismo che mostrano un maggior grado di evidenza scientifica derivano dall’Applied Behavioral Analysis (Aba) e dall’orientamento Cognitivo-Comportamentale. La psicoterapia della Gestalt ha iniziato ad occuparsi di autismo recentemente. I concetti della psicoterapia della Gestalt, tra cui il concetto di confine di contatto, il principio di adattamento creativo e la prospettiva fenomenologica del campo organismo-ambiente, sono centrali per le caratteristiche dell’autismo e, in particolare, per la specificità dell’autismo ad alto funzionamento. Psicoterapeuti della Gestalt hanno, inoltre, evidenziato il valore della spiritualità nel trattamento delle persone con autismo. Ciò è di forte pregnanza scientifica in quanto la salute comprende gli aspetti fisici, sociali, psicologici e spirituali come rappresentato dall’Oms nel documento Promoting Mental Health del 2004. La finalità di questo lavoro è produrre un contributo nella direzione del confronto e dell’integrazione. L’obiettivo è porre le basi per la costituzione di un modello integrato per il trattamento del disturbo autistico ad alto funzionamento. Al fine di attuare tale logica d’integrazione, sulla base dello studio dei dati scientifici e della mia esperienza clinica, saranno identificati i principi attivi presenti in questi tre approcci (Aba, psicoterapia Cognitivo-Comportamentale e psicoterapia della Gestalt). La messa a punto di un mix di principi attivi consente di ottenere un maggior controllo dei possibili limiti ed effetti collaterali presenti in ciascun orientamento. Il passo successivo è la conduzione dell’assessment mediante questi criteri d’integrazione. A tale scopo, saranno individuate delle aree d’intervento in cui sarà descritto l’esame delle specifiche caratteristiche.

Starting from the interpretations of the philosophy of history that have sought a paradigmatic place, capable of representing a nodal point, an umbilical cord between cultures and civilizations, like a reality characterized by crossings and plurality, this article discusses the possibility to build in the contemporary world, characterized by crossings and migrations, a physical and existential, metaphysical and pedagogical perimeter in which to realize the hospitality understood in the manner of Derrida: a destabilizing category that deconstructs the relationship with an atavistic exclusionary nomos.

Riassunto L’articolo descrive l’esperienza di accoglienza in famiglia di titolari di protezione internazionale sperimentata a Milano a partire dal 2016. A fronte di molteplici esperienze simili, già presenti sul territorio italiano, la peculiarità dell’esperienza milanese è il coinvolgimento di quattro attori protagonisti: l’ente locale (Comune di Milano), il Terzo Settore, la società civile e il titolare di protezione internazionale. La presenza del Comune di Milano, e indirettamente del Ministero dell’Interno, finanziatore del progetto, sancisce il riconoscimento istituzionale di una prassi che fino ad oggi ricadeva soltanto sulla società civile.

In the En - cyclical Brothers All, on several occasions, Pope Francis speaks of full citizenship even for immigrants. To what extent can the theological vision of fraternity help democratic states to review the law on reception and equality among citizens? We need a new reflection on the phenomenon of migration and an opening to the world that cannot be exclusively economic and financial, but above all social, cultural and legal.

The article reports intervention concerning integration of disability, carried out during the Covid 19 health emergency by a roman cooperative which operates a service of school integration/ scholar inclusion. School’s closure during lockdowns and distance learning reorganization, enlightened problems concerning the relationship between school, families and disability. Treated as failures of collusion, those problems made it possible to develop a school demand on its goals. All the intervention programs that will be proposed move from a culture’s exploration, which organizes social inclusion of disability, and is founded on promoting competence on coexistence/togetherness, meaning competence to stay within relationships oriented to an objective, which in this case is apprenticeship/ education/learning.

In this article, I begin by outlining the qualities and attributes associated with experiences of mana, focusing particularly on the way the term 'mana' was used by C.G. Jung in his published work. I note that Jung associated mana with the accumulation and transfer of psychic energy (libido), with the appearance and appropriation of elemental fire, and by extension, with the metamorphic experience of constellating consciousness. In this context, informed by Jung's accounts and modes of expression, the term mana personality becomes a provisional designation for a recurrent dynamic of archetypal experiential configurations whose telos appears to be the reorientation of consciousness to its origin.

This paper analyzes the exemplar story of Tariq – a minicab driver born in London in a family from Lahore – and his gradual change from “English” to Pakistani, from “western” to Orthodox believer. An existential parable marked by three main phases: the construction, elaboration and reconstruction of events, narrations and memories by Tariq; his detachment, if not rejection, from the “western” integration of his brothers; his idealization of the country of origin and “local” relationships to which is added the religious choice gradually acquired as a whole as a new way of life. All this will be analyzed from a performative and procedural perspective of anthropology.

Questo contributo presenta i risultati di una ricerca condotta nel centro storico di Napoli, in cui l’obiettivo primario è stato quello di analizzare il rapporto tra immigrati e territorio, e le reciproche interazioni tra queste due dimensioni nel processo di integrazione. Le principali domande di ricerca sono state: in che termini il “luogo nuovo” si prospetta come spazio di accoglienza e di integrazione? Quali sono le principali variabili che entrano in gioco nel favorire o ostacolare questo processo? Spostarsi dentro il territorio può essere un elemento di forza, o piuttosto il risultato di una strategia di esclusione? Quali sono le implicazioni in termini di mobilità abitativa, lavorativa, rapporti di prossimità con il vicinato e con gli autoctoni in generale? Tutto questo in un contesto, quale quello del centro storico di Napoli, denso di identità materiale e immateriale e attraversato da visibili processi di innovazione sociale e commerciale. Nel rispondere a queste domande la ricerca più in generale si è posta l’obiettivo di indagare la misura in cui essi si sentano dentro o fuori luogo in città.

Nel contributo sono presi in esame alcuni momenti decisivi che, nella seconda metà del secolo scorso, hanno solidificato l’idea di Europa. Le dinamiche analizzate trovano terreno fecondo, in particolare, nella riflessione di un illustre messinese europeo: Enrico Vinci. La ricerca, condotta, attraverso testimonianze dirette sul suo operato e sul suo pensiero, articoli da lui firmati e altri documenti dell’archivio personale, si pone un obiettivo: tracciare le linee che più hanno caratterizzato il sogno vinciano di Europa. Un sogno che abbiamo ereditato.

This article examines how school staff in two Austrian cities negotiates the intersecting structures of inequality in which 'migrant' pupils are positioned in the context of Austrian education and integration policies. For our analysis, we choose an intersectional approach and conducted in-depth interviews and seven focus groups with school staff. Our results indicate a connection between inclusive forms of intersectionality and a holistic integration approach on the one hand, and a connection between exclusive intersectionality and assimilatory integration approaches on the other. Overall, our results show ambivalences in the framing of intersectionality and integration indicating open-ended negotiations of integration at Austrian schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article, we discuss the integration measures related to (primarily newly arrived) migrant children in the Slovenian educational system. On one hand, we examine the existing systemic approach (policy and legislation), and on the other, the experiences, observations and opinions of members of the educational community (teachers, principals and school counsellors). We analyse the application of integration policy guidelines in schools' everyday practice. Presented policy guidelines focused on migrant children's integration are well developed and cover most of the key challenges that must be addressed to successfully tackle challenges related to the integration of migrant children. The problem, however, is that guidelines are not binding and financially supported on a permanent basis. These factors contribute to the success of integration in specific school settings. The autonomy of schools regarding the integration guidelines reveals the crucial importance of personal engagement, intercultural awareness and competences of members of the educational communit y.

Based upon the qualitative research among members of the Slovenian educational community, the article discusses the child-centred approach in relation to the education of migrant children in Slovenia with the aim to explore to what extent child-centred perspectives are included in Slovenian educational spheres. The framework for the analysis is Starkey's (2017) three-dimensional understanding of child-centred education that differentiates between agentic, humanist and cognitive dimension. The results show a significant gap between the education policy documents in the field of integration of migrant children and everyday practices in Slovenian schools in r elation to child-centr ed education.

The article examines recent public debates on migration and integration in Austria, Denmark, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and the UK. Shifts in public opinion relate to the 2015 mass migration termed as a crisis, while recent years have seen a substantial move of immigration policy and public debates from proclamations of democratic values towards a recently much harsher approach to immigration and integration. We argue that a gap exists between public opinion, policies, and discourses formulated at the EU and national levels. This gap might indicate that it is not the public opinion which influences public policies but rather the established legal and policy "crisis" frameworks, coupled with media landscapes that considerably affect the majority's perception of immigrants' rights and their pr ospects for integration.

Democracy requires that we recover its legal conception, which derives from a natural situation. At its center is the person who constantly needs to be recognized by society, but society, as a space of infinite relationships, must in turn be directed by the superstructure of the State. Young people are the basic cohesive force in encounters between persons and diverse cultures, and their formation ensures the process of democratic and social integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of integration in psychotherapy between theoretical models and clinical practices arose early and was linked to dissatisfaction with theoretical models and the search for common factors. The integration was initially theoretical, seeking a common basis in learning theory and exploration of mental functioning. Then appeared the first examples of transtheoretical integration that explored the therapist's interventions and assimilative integration who wanted to build an eclectic practice. The age of theoretical integration saw attempts to merge psychoanalysis and behaviorism, behaviorism and humanistic approaches, behaviorism and cognitivism (the only success story) and cognitive and psychodynamic models. Transtheoretical integration then prevailed again thanks to new key variables: the therapeutic relationship, the common factors and the contextualist model. The institutionalization of the integrative movement made possible the birth of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI). The integration remains a clinically significant movement but it is unlikely to provide a common theoretical basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although a wide literature has highlighted the importance of studying the acculturation processes and its implications as a risk factor for the psychosocial adaptation, currently, very few instruments developed on ad hoc basis for adolescents are available. The present paper offers a review of the instruments for evaluating acculturation among adolescents. Based on an international literaturebased analysis, structural features, psychometric qualities, strengths and points of weakness are indicated for each presented measure. Psychometric features, which needs to be gathered in order to advance assessment methods and techniques in this area, are discussed to help both choosing among existing measures and promoting research aimed to the development of specifically designed measures.

Those who experience integration issues - as migrants or as receivers - know that integration is the result of a very long - and sometimes very hard - mediation effort. Both parties need to take up the responsibility of the negotiation, that often gives rise to strong emotions and requires to compromise between resources and opportunities of a economic, as well as psychological and affective, nature. In the introduction possible relationships between foreigners and the land they have moved to are outlined, and possible fantasies prompted by their arrival. The paper focuses on the crossing of borders by new entries in a small psychotherapy group, and the dynamics of hospitality, acquisition and integration. The arrival of a new patient in a group bears similarities to the arrival of a newborn sibling, but also with the arrival of a foreigner from a different culture. A number of clinical vignettes will show how the borders of the therapy group change after each new entry and the extensive work that must be done to re-define and re-shape the identity and culture of the group. As migrants take a stance about those who have never left home, new patients prompt fantasies about siblings who have left the small therapy group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The institute of ius soli, the criterion for the acquisition of citizenship, according to which one becomes a citizen because is born on the territory of a sovereign state internationally recognized, regardless of the citizenship of the parents, despite its ancient origins has always been at the center of great debates and continuous legislative interventions because this institute generates great divisions between those who intend it as a battle of civilization and who believes that it is exclusively a danger that contributes to the loss of any national identity of a people. The examination of the ius soli passes through ancient and modern state regulations, as well as magisterial documents and canonical laws, aimed, above all, to offer serious reflection on current issues, sensitizing the legislator, and jurists in general, to act to guarantee migrants and refugees the dignity of human beings.
