Abstract
Questo studio esplora la presenza ed il ruolo della rabbia, quando è retroflessa, negli attacchi di panico e nei disturbi d'ansia, adottando una prospettiva fenomenologico-gestaltica. L'ipotesi centrale è che la rabbia inespressa possa manifestarsi nella persona attraverso sintomi ansiosi e di panico, agendo come un “allarme interno” innescato da trigger ambientali o stress. La ricerca indaga la difficoltà nel riconoscere ed esprimere la rabbia - spesso sostituita, nella narrazione, da termini come “frustrazione" o “tristezza” che la persona riferisce all'interno di un setting terapeutico. La somministrazione di un'intervista semi-strutturata costruita ad hoc ad un campione pilota ha fornito dati preliminari che indicano la presenza della rabbia, spesso non riconosciuta, in situazioni nelle quali non si è ottenuto ciò che si desiderava; l'osservazione dei risultati suggerisce inoltre che la rabbia, una volta riconosciuta, può essere trasformata in consapevolezza auto-affermativa e in comunicazione assertiva. L'analisi semantica dei dati mira a fornire una descrizione fenomenologica della rabbia retroflessa nei disturbi d'ansia, evidenziando l'importanza di interventi terapeutici orientati al riconoscimento emotivo e ad una gestione efficace dei sintomi.
