LA PSICOLOGIA DELL’EMERGENZA OGGI

[Autom. eng. transl.] The term “emergency” is certainly among the most recurring ones in recent years in Italy. As of February 2020, i citizens of all ages and social conditions they concretely understood what happens when a national government decrees a state of emergency. It deals with of an exceptional political condition, in which, for serious reasons, ordinary practices they are suspended and someone takes over extraordinary powers. In this condition, a many people are asked to change their own behaviors, due to danger looming, not confrontable with ordinary resources. By definition (and also for Italian law), an emergency condition it can't last too long, because extraordinary rules and behaviors, in the long run, they risk compromising mental health, civil coexistence and all the activities necessary for survival and growth of people.
