PSYCHOLOGY OF EMERGENCY

because psychological well-being is a right of every person

Some of the people who participated in the establishment of PsyPlus Onlus had already experienced the tragedy of the emergency professionally or personally. Several of us have matured their interest in the subject having known closely the catastrophe of the earthquake in L'Aquila and its surroundings, in 2009. The event that instead marked the start of our operations in the field of emergency psychology is Instead, it was the earthquake that hit a large part of Central Italy in August 2016. Since then, knowing how to stay in an emergency and knowing how to operate effectively to contain its traumatic impact, has become an important part of our mission.

Earthquake 2016: two years later

 Two years ago a strong earthquake struck central Italy. On the night of August 24, our psychologists were present in Amatrice for the memorial ceremony for the victims. Under the awning set up in the square, where the hotel-school stood, we proceeded with the reading of some stories related to the earthquake. At the end, a torchlight procession headed towards the church of Sant'Agostino, in front of which the names of all the Amatrician victims of the earthquake were read. At 3.36 am the bells ring, one for each deceased. Silence.
 

Spectators of a world that exalts individuality: the narcissistic society

"When wealth occupies a higher position than wisdom, when fame is more admired than dignity and when success is more important than self-respect, it means that culture itself overestimates the image and must be considered narcissistic". (Lowen TO.)

The term narcissism has now become part of the common lexicon, has become a hashtag, often acts as a frame for descriptions of successful businesses in the various areas of daily life and seems almost a patented term to describe our time.
