The 60th anniversary of the publication of George Kelly’s The Psychology of Personal Constructs was marked, in 2015, by the 21st International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology. His two volume work set out personal construct theory as a radical new approach to psychology. Although Kelly was a clinical psychologist, personal construct psychology has had an extraordinarily broad range of influence and application, extending beyond the clinical setting to include areas as diverse as education, organizational and management development, social psychology, the arts, law and politics. It presaged constructivist developments in many spheres of knowledge, and its innovative research methods have been used in a vast number of studies focussed on the exploration of personal and interpersonal meaning. The 21st International Congress was held in the UK at the University of Hertfordshire, forty years after the first such congress. This volume presents contributions by many of the Congress’s delegates, whose chapters reflect the diversity of contemporary applications of personal construct psychology, and the continuing relevance and vitality of Kelly’s ideas and methods.

Il titolo del libro allude alla volontà di allargare gli orizzonti di riferimento dei cittadini e degli operatori nei confronti delle dipendenze. Il panorama sociale e terapeutico italiano è infatti cambiato a livello istituzionale e normativo; l'organizzazione dei servizi per la prevenzione e la cura si è modificata, facendo registrare differenze nelle offerte tra le diverse regioni italiane; infine, a causa della crisi economica, sono stati operati tagli nelle risorse per il trattamento delle dipendenze. Di ciò bisogna tenere conto. Il caso del gioco d'azzardo patologico viene scelto dai curatori del testo come esempio nell'evoluzione del concetto di devianza e dipendenza sociale da trattare.
This edited volume examines concepts of sincerity in politics and international relations in order to discuss what we should expect of politicians, within what parameters they should work, and how their decisions and actions could be made consistent with morality. The volume features an international cast of authors who specialize in the topic of sincerity in politics and international relations. Looking at how sincerity bears on political actions, practices, and institutions at national and international level, the introduction serves to place the chapters in the context of ongoing contemporary debates on sincerity in politics and international theory. Each chapter focuses on a contemporary issue in politics and international relations, including corruption, public hypocrisy, cynicism, trust, security, policy formulation and decision-making, political apology, public reason, political dissimulation, denial and self-deception, and will argue against the background of a Kantian view of sincerity as unconditional. Offering a significant comprehensive outlook on the practical limits of sincerity in political affairs, this work will be of great interest to both students and scholars.
This book originates from a multiple year research project on ICT and justice in a number of EU countries. Among the project's major objectives was the development of new methodologies for facilitating ICT-based innovation in the judiciary.

Cosa si intende oggi per “giurisdizione”? Questa nozione immemorabile sta cambiando nelle società contemporanee sempre più globalizzate? Quali sono le nuove sfide e i nuovi territori che è necessario scoprire? Trentaquattro studiosi, dall’Italia, dall’Europa e da altre culture giuridiche offrono, in una serie di saggi in italiano e in inglese, la versione aggiornata ed arricchita delle relazioni presentate al XXIV Colloquio biennale della Associazione Italiana di Diritto Comparato (AIDC) tenutosi nel giugno 2017 a Napoli. I contributi hanno una prospettiva ampia e comparata, guardando ai sistemi esistenti, alle esperienze di successo e ai fallimenti, ai modelli che si è potuto trapiantare, oppure che hanno determinato un rigetto. La nozione di “giurisdizione” richiede di essere costantemente misurata nei suoi rapporti con gli altri poteri costituzionali, con l’emergere di nuove controversie e di nuovi attori, con le teorie giuridiche e politiche.
