DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSES OF THE ACADEMIC PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING SERVICE

  • The Service is aimed exclusively at students who, due to psychological or psychosocial difficulties, manifest significant difficulties in academic progression and meet at least one of the following conditions:
    • the candidates have not passed an exam in the last two examination sessions;
    • the candidates have not booked any exam in the last two examination sessions.
  • The Service provides free psychological counseling interventions, intended as relational processes based on listening and support, and characterized by the use of abilities and strategies aimed at the activation and re-organization of the personal resources of the individual, for the purpose of making choices and changes possible in situations perceived as difficult by specific subjects, in full respect of their values .
  • The service does not provide any services other than psychological counseling, such as psychotherapy or psychiatric treatment.
  • The counseling intervention consists in a maximum of 6 online interviews with a Service operator. The first interview is devoted to the detection of psychological distress, such as anxiety and depression, or psychosocial distress, such as family or work-related stress, and its negative effect on academic performance.
  • In the event that the discomforts detected can be traced back to a psychopathology, the counselling intervention can be provided but only on condition that it is focused on the present or the recent past, and has the main objective of helping the student overcome academic difficulties, always under the reasonable assumption that the intervention can be effective. On the other hand, the students will be advised to refer to a territorial service in their place of origin if: 1) they present a psychopathology and the counselling intervention is not deliverable due to the high possibility that it will be ineffective or ineffective with respect to overcoming academic difficulties; 2) they present a psychopathology and the counselling intervention has not been effective with respect to overcoming academic difficulties.
  • The responsible of the Academic Psychological Counseling Service is Prof. Rossella Shoshannà Procaccia.
