Editoriale - Editorial

The online version of Rivista di Psicologia Clinica (Journal of Clinical Psychology), founded in 2006, is now on its 11th year of publication. This is its 25th issue. Rivista di Psicologia Clinica was published on print from 1982 to 1997, including two short breaks. The printed version published 41 issues. In addition to 14 years of publication on print, there are 11 years of publication online. In addition to 41 printed issues, there are 25 online issues, overall resulting in 66 issues published by the journal. Let’s briefly look at our readers, their geographical distribution and the journal usage. The goal of our publications is not oriented to uncritically increase the number of our readers but, according to a coherent editorial policy, to develop the debate on the definition, methodology, epistemology and practice of Clinical Psychology. These aspect are linked each other based on the constant evolution of clinical practice in psychology and psychotherapy

La cultura locale di Roma e delle sue periferie urbane nella rappresentazione dei resti archeologici - The local culture of Rome and its urban suburbs in the representation of the archaeological remains

Nel presente lavoro viene proposta l’analisi della relazione come luogo del problema che caratterizza l’intervento psicologico clinico quale alternativa alla diagnosi. Tre esempi clinici aiutano a cogliere come la relazione sia il luogo del problema che s’intende affrontare; sia con il lavoro d’assistenza in ambito familiare, che scolastico o sociale. La funzione psicologica può cambiare radicalmente il lavoro assistenziale, mutando obiettivi inutili e obsoleti in interventi efficaci. Ciò è possibile se l’intervento cambia il proprio obiettivo, spostandolo dalla singola persona disabile o problematica, alla relazione entro la quale l’intervento si contestualizza.The research, carried out within a project research of national interest (PRIN) directed by archaeologist Professor Clementina Panella, has the purpose to detect the local culture of inhabitants of the center and the outskirts of Rome, paying attention to the archaeological remains and their cultural contribution. Three components of local culture emerged in this research; all of them are reported to a cultural context that people feel as organized by the pursuit of power and the enhancement of the mass media as factors that give notoriety and popularity then power. One of the three cultural repertoires, characterized by young participants and residents in the outskirts of Rome, enhances the archaeological remains as components of a fun culture. The fun, in combination with culture, is experienced as an effective alternative to the power and the pursuit of powe

Monitoring CO₂ Hazards of Volcanic Origin: A Case Study at the Island of Vulcano (Italy) during 2021–2022

The La Fossa volcano is near the inhabited zone of the island of Vulcano and is a suitable case for studying gas sources of different geological origins. Since the last eruption, fumarolic-solfataric activity has interested this area with fumarolic emissions, mainly at the top of the volcanic cone and at Vulcano Porto. In recent decades, the anomalous degassing zones on the island have not significantly changed their location. On the contrary, there have been several significant changes in the emission rate due to the addition of volcanic gas. In these zones, CO2 flux from the ground is responsible for a decrease in the indoor air quality. A recent increase in volcanic degassing led to an increase in the gas hazard in the inhabited area of Vulcano Island, and people were temporarily displaced from Vulcano Porto. The results of this study show that a monitoring system can be used for the early detection of transients in soil CO2 flux (φCO2) in the anomalous degassing zone of Vulcano. Synchronous monitoring of φCO2 and outdoor air CO2 concentration has shown variations in volcanic degassing that affect outdoor air CO2 concentration in the populated zone of Faraglione
