Bibliography

Le lezioni teoriche riguardano i principi generali che sottendono all’utilizzo della comunicazione nella pratica clinica e organizzativa, con particolare riferimento ai gruppi. Dal paradigma fenomenologico vengono definiti gli strumenti fondamentali che riguardano la relazione professionista/utente e famiglia, le strategie che vengono utilizzate per la conduzione di gruppi con finalità pragmatiche o di ricerca, la tipologia della ricerca psicosociale come approccio privilegiato di indagine e le interazioni sociali nella cura Vengono inoltre trattate le nuove forme di comunicazione, quali quelle multimediali, con particolare riferimento all’utilizzo di piattaforme e la costituzione di comunità di pratica.
Sono previsti anche laboratori in cui i corsisti si sperimentano attivamente sui temi trattati teoricamente; in particolare si effettuano simulazioni di focus group, si presentano e discutono i risultati di alcune ricerche di tipo psicosociale, si utilizza l’aula di informatica per attivarsi sulla piattaforma on line, si raccoglie una narrazione di malattia e la si discute in gruppo.
