Lending a Helping Hand to Others Dampens Effects of Everyday Stress

 04 September 2016
Providing help to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers can mitigate the impact of daily stressors on our emotions and our mental health, according to new research published in Clinical Psychological Science “Our research shows that when we help others we can also help ourselves,” explains study author Emily Ansell of the Yale University School of Medicine. “Stressful days usually lead us to have a worse mood and poorer mental health, but our findings suggest that if we do small things for other...

A one-night stand can lead to true love

 24 July 2016
Donatella Marazziti: " It is not surprising that love may spring from a hook. Indeed, love is a human attribute that may occur suddenly in different situations. What is really important  is that the  individuals are ready, that is to say, prone to meet other individuals and “vulnerable" to fall in love. Obviously, only time will tell if the one-night meeting is the first stage of  a long-lasting relationship. However, in Italy we say that “at the time of war and at the time of love all means are licit”"

The Science of Heartbreak

 05 April 2016
According to Georgianna Donadio, MSc, Ph.D.  in the Huffpost Women: "Like most healthcare practitioners, I often hear clients discuss their fear of loving or trusting another person after they have been terribly disappointed or hurt in a romantic relationship. Being deeply hurt or emotionally wounded through deception, rejection or infidelity cuts to the quick of the human heart. Many of us would like to be able t...

Psychiatry and terrorism: exploring the unacceptable

 27 March 2016
Sometimes humans have short memories or, at least, they tend to forget bad events. Probably this is also promoted by the constant flow of information and news bombarding us every second, so that it is difficult to extract what should be retained and not forgotten. Let us consider what happened after the terrorist attacks in Paris (France), San Bernardino (USA), and Bamako (Mali), just to mention some of the most recent and relevant in terms of number of victims. They were round the clock news broadcasts; interviews with witnesses, family members of victims or injured individuals, or common people; several debates with experts of different disciplines; funeral cere...

10 Habits of Chronically Unhappy People

 15 March 2016
Happiness comes in so many different forms that it can be hard to define. Unhappiness, on the other hand, is easy to identify; you know it when you see it, and you definitely know when it's taken ahold of you. Unhappiness is lethal to everyone around you, just like second-hand smoke. The famous Terman Study from Stanford followed subjects for eight decades and found that being around unhappy people is linked to poorer health and a shorter life span. Happiness has much less to do with life circumstances than you might think. A University of Illinois study found that people who earn the most are only a smidge happier than the average people who work for them. Life circumstances have ...

Leggi la riflessione di Donatella Marazziti e di Mario Campanella, e la nostra rassegna stampa "Dinanzi all'omicidio di Roma si resta attoniti: si uccide un coetaneo non avendo alcun senso della morte, come se si uccidesse un "mostro" alla Playstation: è la riaffermazione della critica kubrickiana in Arancia meccanica, qualcosa che sconvolge".

8 Ways To Tell The Difference Between A Mature Relationship And An Immature Relationship

 02 March 2016
1. Immature relationships leave unanswered questions in their wake. But mature relationships don't ask them in the first place. "Is she faithful? Does he love me? How long will we be together?" The mature relationship doesn't require this kind of validation. There's trust, comfort, and security in them.   2. Immature relationships are often missing something. But mature relationships feel complete. There isn't the feeling of something missing at all. There is no void to fill, no ...
