    A Psychotherapy? No... A Lifetime...

    About this ebook

    Sometimes the therapeutic journey brings up a strong need to “fix” its most significant stages. So it happens that the person discovers a poetic vein in speaking and narrating. It’s owing to this, that a client was able to track a pathway, to write a story of sorrow and of memories, nice and unpleasant; that the protagonist of the therapeutic process caught in her memory, slowly, slowly. And equally slowly, slowly she shaped the emerging figures in the fog with the aid of her psychotherapist. This piece of work shall lead the reader into the secrets of a therapy that turns out to be the research of the “true” story of the childhood of everyone of us. Each poem testifies how difficult it is to recall the past, to rebuild it through the renewal of emotions, anguish, experienced and concealed, until you find their sense by means of a crude, maybe cruel rereading of reality. It’s as if we have many pieces of a puzzle of which we have lost the picture.

    Nata in Australia. Laureata in psicologia a Padova.Quattro anni di studi presso il Facilitator Development Institute di Roma, dove ho acquisito la qualifica di psicoterapeuta Rogersiana.I miei docenti sono stati Carl Rogers, Chuck Devonshire, Gorge de Rita, Nat Raskin.Nei quattro anni di Roma il mio tutor è stato Chuck Devonshire al quale debbo molto per la sua sensibilità e capacità di trasmettere con il metodo di insegnamento “non direttivo” i concetti basilari della Terapia Centrata Sulla Persona. Questi docenti provengono dal Centre for the Study of the Person, Università di La Jolla a San Diego in California.Per altri quattro anni ho frequentato un gruppo di supervisione condotto da Chuck Devonshire.Facendo tesoro di tanta esperienza con lui e di anni di mia libera professione sono riuscita a pescare quei “fili” che affondano nella storia della persona e che “accanitamente” emergono dai fondali e diventano i protagonisti del nostro modo di essere (la” tendenza attualizzante” distorta di Rogers). Da questa esperienza nasce il mio libro: “Una psicoterapia? ...No ...Una vita”.Da molti anni sono docente di Sessuologia Clinica presso il Centro Italiano di Sessuologia. Collaboro con il Servizio di Sessuologia Clinica del Dipartimento di Psicologia dell’Università di Bologna e ho scritto vari articoli di sessuologia.

      Dedication

      JUNE 1989

      TO YOU MY FRIEND IN HOSPITAL

      I said to you: Hold on to the other end

      of the red string and pull hard

      until you to feel your substance.

      I know about your fear of getting lost forever.

      It’s immense, and when it speaks

      one really disappears

      if there is no one there who knows the way

      for having walked it slowly.

      But am not able to tell you

      how to live the moment

      and remember, at least something,

      and together plan.

      I still need long absences;

      I think it’s this, that is saving my life.

      Maybe all our struggle

      is a powerful request

      for respect and for righteous silence… 

      Don’t walk in front of me

                                                               I may not follow

                                                        Don’t walk behind me 

                                                              I may not lead
