OVERVIEW
Franklin University Switzerland is partnering with the Psychologist Association of Ticino to organize a specialized training day called "From Psychological Distress to Violence: Psychopathological and Criminological Considerations." The purpose of this event is to explore the complex and multidisciplinary aspects of violence. In particular, the focus will be on the impact of violence on vulnerable groups such as women, the elderly, and children. This training day will move beyond outdated beliefs that associate violent behavior with psychological distress or abnormalities.
Key Speakers
The speakers, adjunct professors from Franklin University Switzerland, are experts in psychology, psychiatry, legal medicine, and criminology:
- Francesco Attanasio, Psychiatry
- Cristina Colombo, Psychiatry
- Emma Flutti, Forensic Psychology
- Lorenzo Fregna, Psychiatry
- Guido Travaini, Legal Medicine and Criminology
Program
The program includes in-depth discussions on treating violence, the role of psychiatric-forensic evaluations, and understanding the connection between suicide and violence, as well as emerging forms of violence. During the lunch break, FUS students will present a poster session, adding further depth to the discussions. The day concludes with a roundtable that promises an engaging exchange of ideas and a closing aperitif, offering a chance for attendees to network and discuss the day’s insights.
