“Fatti vivo!”. Un’esperienza di counseling universitario

Abstract

This article analyses the establishment and development of a university counseling service named “Fatti Vivo!” (Stay in touch!) which opened in Rome in 2008. The author describes how by starting from an individual psychotherapy the counseling progressively developed into a psychodynamic group of psychotherapeutic practice. The paper also describes the difficulties encountered in pursuing this practice in a university institution due to economical, organizational and cultural issues.
