Abstract
This article discusses our work within a medical student counseling service in Naples, Italy. Having briefly described the Italian scholastic system, we indicated the main characteristics of our service, Next, some of the more frequent student complaints, featuring those more directly causing academic failure or under-achievement, are presented, and possible explanatory hypotheses are discussed. A counseling service within the university can help create a physical and mental space for students to rely on, where those troubles, often difficult to recognize and share with others, can be faced and worked through at least in limited fashion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
