Omar gelo – Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of Salento, Italy and Sigmund
Freud University Vienna, Austria.
When talking about psychotherapy, we are faced with the necessity of
distinguishing the practice of psychotherapy (i.e., psychotherapy practice)
from the science of psychotherapy (i.e., psychotherapy science). While actually
every clinician knows well what it means to be a psychotherapy practitioner,
there is actually a struggle with the question “when is a psychotherapy a
scientist?” The present speech tries to shed light on this question.

Nowadays there is a constantly increasing number of professionals who
deliver aid to patients with the psychic disorders. If treatment of mental
illness by psychiatrists does not bring questions, features of assist by
psychotherapists and psychologists remain unresolved and contain many
contradictory positions, without solutions which is impossible to provide a
complete view of the assistance for persons who need it.
HAPPINEss, QUALITy OF LIFE, HEALTH IN THE sysTEMIC VIEW
gianpaolo Lombardi – Psychotherapist and psychiatrist at the Insitute of
Family Therapy of Florence in Florenc, Insitute of Family Therapy of Pisa-Livorno
in Pisa, public health service (A.S.L, Ser.T) in Florence, teacher of relational and
family therapy, member of Italian Society of Psychiatry (SIP), member of Italian
Association of Institutes of Family Therapy (AIFT). Italy, Florence – Pisa.
Happiness, Quality of life, Health are three similar concepts in everyday
language, but very different in a reconstruction from a historical and
epistemological point of view. Heraclitus, Aristotle, Epicurus, Democritus
speak of happiness from a philosophical approach. K. Galbraith, who
observed how the welfare economy had failed to promote a harmonious
development of all societies.
Erich Fromm in «to have or to be» poses the problem of existence of
way of life based on having: “I am what I have and I consume”. From year
1970 onwards begins to exist the right to expect an overall well-being; in
essence, the general clinical picture of the patient’s life goes beyond the
symptoms expressed.
The Easterlin paradox or paradox of happiness 1974 teaches us how the
“systemic therapists” the therapists using systemic thinking, in the broad,
sense,are central in being custodians of “relational goods”. Actually there is
an increasingly difficult to distinguish “normality” and “pathology”, given
the complexity of the term «Health», and the prevention in today’s society
could be the kind of care more consistent from a postmodern perspective.
My observation is that, the concept of quality of life, could become,
more and more, an interesting parameter to be investigated in a path of
family psychotherapy and research; more coherent, from an epistemological
perspective, than clinical evaluation.

THE LIFE LINE PATHOBIOgrAPHICAL МETHOD AND sELF-
ATTITUDE IN DrUg ADDICTs
Mikhail Budnikov – clinical psychologist at the medical center «Behterev»,
postgraduate student at the department of clinical psychology at Herzen
University of Russia, Saint-Petersburg.
We studied 66 drug addicts carrying out the program of inpatient
rehabilitation in the medical center «Behterev». We used the Life line
method to investigate crisises and conflicts in a biography and in a system
of attitudes of an addictive personality. Such defects of self-consciousness
as an interruption of Self continuity and a disharmony of self-attitude
were revealed. An accurate psychological diagnostics and individual
psychotherapy allow to harmonize self-attitude and to lessen the need to
abuse drugs which is an illusory and compensatory way of Self defence.

Currently there is a worldwide trend towards using clients’ feedback
measures in psychotherapeutic and psychological work, when clients
are given the possibility of evaluating the process and outcome of such
services. Using feedback reduces risk of premature termination and increases
effectiveness of psychological treatment. Russian versions of Outcome rating
scale and Session rating scale will be presented as the easiest-to-use and
briefest measures in worldwide practice.

Application of atonal music in a musiс therapy is insufficiently studied,

causes less than resistance, than classical music, leading to more expressed
decrease in level of anxiety and strengthening of adaptation resources of

Taking into consideration the traumatic experience in the relationships
of such clients and their parents, we may avoid one-sided perspective
of the disturbed eating behavior as solely the habitual eating pattern
(not taking into account the relational component) and avoid accidental
reproduction of the traumatic situation. Working with the client`s episodes
of hyper excitation having their roots in earlier relationships, and avoiding
the frustration of the client`s intention for contact allow us to create a
supporting introject and reduce the clients` need to delimit their anxiety
with the help of overeating.
