Sexuality, Gender & Education
The debates on gender and sexuality are widespread today. Many claim that a cultural war is being waged between “conservatives” who uphold the time-honored values of family and sexuality and “liberals” who promote an agenda to redefine these traditional roles. Since the public is often uninformed about the science and philosophical currents undergirding the questions of gender and sexuality, the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum organized an academic symposium in Rome to shed light on the debate. This book gathers the insights of that symposium, which integrated the disciplines of medicine, neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, history, philosophy, moral theology, biblical stud...
Il valore di sé
La visione psicologica e psicopatologica dominante identifica valore di sé e autostima: questo libro delinea un modello differente, che distingue nettamente tra l’uno e l’altra. Il valore di sé è una struttura che riguarda il fondamento emozionale e identitario dell’essere e dell’intero organismo CorpoMente di ogni persona; mentre l’autostima è un sistema di processi autoriflessivi e continui sul valore e su tutti gli altri nuclei del Sé, di estrema rilevanza per lo sviluppo e il benessere mentale ed esistenziale di tutti gli esseri umani. Il modello proposto in questo lavoro consente di comprendere come e perché le lesioni al valore e la conseguente disistima di sé costituiscano la matrice generativa dei più severi quadri psicopatologici, per cui ne va specificato il ruolo in ognuno di essi, in interazione con altri processi. Proprio perché giudica affettivamente lo stato del valore, se l’autostima è attaccata e alterata si generano estrema sofferenza e molteplici alterazioni psicopatologiche: una costellazione di traumi tra i più gravi che possano colpire l’essere umano.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Health Inequalities
This pioneering study examines inequalities experienced by LGBT people in health care and considers the role of social work in addressing the inequity. The book is organized into three parts: the first provides a policy context in four countries, the second examines social work practice in tackling health inequalities, and the third considers research and pedagogic developments. The volume's distinctive international approach features practice vignettes as well as key theoretical perspectives on the components of health inequalities, including social determinants of health, minority stress, ecological approaches, and human rights. With a preface from Gary Bailey, president of the International Federation of Social Workers, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Health Inequalities will be relevant to an interdisciplinary, international audience of social work educators, practitioners, and students.

Queer Theories: An Introduction
This is a short and accessible introduction to the complex and evolving debates around queer theories, advocating for their critical role in academia and society. The book traces the roots of queer theories and argues that Foucault owed an important debt to other European authors including the feminist and homosexual liberation movements of the 1960–1970s and the anticolonial movements of the 1950s. Going beyond a simple introduction to queer theories, this book situates them firmly in a European and Italian context to offer a crucial set of arguments in defence of LGBTQI+ rights, in defence of the freedom of teaching and research, and in defence of a radical idea of democracy. The narrati...
The Body in Autobiography and Autobiographical Novels
This volume explores a web of complex relationships between body and mind, discussing the efforts of individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds to define, to achieve, or to reject the “normal”; and, in some cases, to put something else in its place. After considering the problems arising from other people’s perceptions of non-standard bodies, the book turns to gender: is it written “upon the body”, established at birth, determined only by physical traits and distinguished by material things such as clothes; or is it written “within the body”, defined through the subject’s own feelings? It considers what happens when “males” consider themselves “female”, and “females” consider themselves “male”. It concludes with the analysis of four books, by different authors with different sexual orientations. Two of these volumes might be considered “genuine autobiographies”, while the other two are novels which include numerous autobiographical features that reflect the authors’ own thoughts.
