Psychodiagnostic Evaluation
The psychodiagnostic service covers adults, couples and families and uses two methodological tools: interviews and psychological tests.
From time to time, a battery specifically aimed at examining and deepening the discomfort that emerged during the interviews will be chosen.
At the end of the diagnostic pathway (2 to 3 meetings) there is a restitution interview and the delivery of a document in which what emerged from the assessment is summarized and the most appropriate intervention to follow, if any, is indicated.
A special focus is on the psychological assessment of adolescents who are in a complex phase, a transitional period between childhood and adulthood in which changes occur on multiple levels. It is a delicate phase of life that encompasses great change and great disorientation, with significant physical and psychological transformations that children and their families must face.
It is a period of life that is characterized by the intensity of emotions, the importance of the peer group and a change in the relationship with parental figures. The service also arranges for parental support to help deal with the hardships that may arise.
The society with which adolescents measure themselves is difficult to understand and “inhabit,” reference points are constantly changing, and uncertainty is often a constant. The adolescent is subjected to the intrusion of mass media that convey messages and information and issue more or less direct invitations to behave in a certain way. The greatest risk is that of conforming to the will of impersonal objects (fashions, lifestyles) perhaps penalizing one’s more individual desires and abilities because of the need not to feel excluded.
Helping adolescents and their families is useful in preventing or curbing distress by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and offering guidance for healthy development into adulthood.
Psychiatric counseling is provided by a psychiatric physician and allows diagnosis of a possible psychiatric disorder as well as identification of the most appropriate drug treatment. The presence of the medical figure of the psychiatrist makes it possible, through integrated teamwork, to consider all aspects of the disease and to intervene in a complex manner in all types of psychopathological disorders.
Among the activities aimed at colleagues, the Foundation offers advice and supervision on conducting expert opinions and consultations in the legal field.
Specific support is offered to those among colleagues who use the Rorschach according to the Roman Rorschach School method, to address and respond to those who question its validity in the legal field.
