First, the Greetings :
a cordial and sincere greetings of welcome to all visitors of this blog that the intention of the writer wants to be essentially an area of \u200b\u200bconfrontation, dialogue and communication between social scientists, not just Italians. A virtual space, but for me it represents something more: maybe a little of my home, my studio with my books and things more expensive, the place where I could meet and compare calmly and openly with many colleagues and friends .
me introduce myself: My name
Francesco Panza, I am a sociologist working for over twenty years in the National Health Service (NHS). They are leading sociologist at the role of Local Health Unit (ASL) Salerno 1, where he served as Regional Director of Social Services ( http://www.aslsa1.it/ ). I am a professor of Sociology at the School of Education University of Health Professions of the Campania Region. I deal with planning and evaluation of socio-health and continuing medical education (CME). I played and I work in collaboration and consultation on behalf of public and private institutions (ministries, regions, municipalities, schools, universities. ...), Research Centres profit and non-profit organizations of the Third Sector. I wrote several articles for journals and authored and edited several books, among them, your mirror. Manual of socio-health care for the elderly (Salerno, 1989), Seniors do (Salerno, 1990), The assessment of discomfort in the prevention of youth (Salerno, 1995), practitioners and Addiction (Rome, 1998 ). There are also national secretary of the National Union of Italian sociologists (SINS) ( http://www.sindacatosociologi.it/ ). For years, with great determination, but also many difficulties, along with other colleagues in the union and other professional associations and academic sociologists ( SISS, AISP, ASC, ANS, sois, Trento 62, CONSCOM ...) We are trying to promote and raise, through a series of initiatives (cultural, social, political, institutional, legislative, parliamentary, etc..), The professional role of the sociologist in society and especially at work, trying to create new opportunities and employment opportunities for graduates in sociology. All this in light of recent European and national regulations that set the guidelines for the legal recognition and accreditation of non-regulated professions and professional registers from Orders as is the case of the profession of sociologist.
The editorial initiative: a major challenge but also an opportunity to the best use for the revitalization of the profession of medical sociologist:
As part of this revitalization and promotion places the volume I edited entitled sociologist in Italian National Health Service. The innovative contribution of sociological science in pursuit of health , which by 2008 will be released for the types of FrancoAngeli Milan in the series of Health and Society - Research Section and marketability - by Prof. Costantino Cipolla. The book, which contains an 'interesting preface by Giuseppe De Rita (Secretary General of CENSIS), is rich in ideas, analysis, ideas and concrete proposals and consists of about 500 pages. Currently the book is in an advanced stage of processing.

Descrizione sintetica dei contenuti del volume:
1. Nella prima parte dal titolo “ Aspetti storici, istituzionali ed organizzativi della sanità italiana ” l’autore traccia an update of the Italian NHS identikit describes its main institutional and organizational aspects. An organization that is the product of a long and complex historical and political process that is described by the author in its early stages and most significant features. Subsequent chapters then looks to emerge, through the results obtained from three different surveys, the situation on the health of the Italian population and the level of the departments of our NHS. Finally, the author carries out a study on possible developments of the Italian health, inspired by current issues of federalism and discussed health care and process of corporatization.
2. In the second part entitled "The contribution theoretical and applied sociology and sociology of health care" , with chapters titled " Some of the major theoretical and methodological approaches of sociology of health and health " and "L 'evolution of health sociology in some Western contexts and perspectives of development of the sociology of health in Italy " are retraced some of the most important steps that have characterized the development in the western world and in Italy, sociology and the sociology of health first health then. These chapters highlight, in particular, the theoretical approach, epistemological and methodological paradigms that identify with the cultural and scientific knowledge in medical sociology. In Italy, the framework has developed since the seventies, at the University of Bologna, around the Achilles Ardigò scientific thought, the founder of the First Postgraduate School and its many skilled employees, primarily by Constantine onion which continues even today, the important opera.La sociology of health, the state, is characterized by a strong systemic-relational approach, phenomenological worlds of life, all organically correlativista systematized within the paradigm. A wealth of science that in recent years, it appears to have further enriched, and that makes the science of sociology in the field of health, wellness and lifestyle, absolutely alive and present. A body of knowledge that highlights, in a clear and incontrovertible, that the path heuristic, epistemological and methodological framework that is still far from exhausted. The Sociology of Health is faced with important tasks. On the subject of health / disease, for example, it should be noted as still prevail, albeit in a milder form than in the past, a "tangible knowledge separation" between the various scientific disciplines and professions (eg. Between biology, medicine, psychology and sociology itself) that is reflected, inevitably, a significant negative effect on quality of health services provided for citizens-users. Sociology, because of its specific heuristics, methodology, epistemology and epistemological, between different disciplines, is certainly capable of knowing how to read and interpret in an integrated and systemic in its social reality and complex phenomena. It, like mission, there is the difficult goal of encouraging a synergistic inter-connect three different disciplines and professions, and at the heart of its activities and its objectives, the person, the citizen, its needs and its legitimate right to health. This vision of strategic change, the question of what contribution can and should provide the framework and the sociologist who works today in the National Health Service.
3. In the third part, entitled "The contribution theoretical and clinical application of sociology and social therapy," the book deals with two specific chapters, respectively entitled " From the definition of the profession of clinical sociologist sociology as a reference for the exercise professional sociology " Luison Lucio (who died prematurely in September) and" Outlines of Social Therapy "Maurizio Covarelli, some of the fundamental themes that characterize the specific cultural and scientific examination of these two interesting and innovative branches of sociology. In particular, the authors emphasize the theoretical approach, epistemological and methodological paradigms of cultural and scientific latest clinical sociology and social therapy. It also highlights the strong marketability of these disciplines in the professional field, in health and in particular on the clinical side, treatment and prevention.
4. In the fourth part entitled "The profession of sociologist today within the NHS and Contributions direct experiences " volume presents, from this point on, as a handbook for use immediately spendable, a tool for dissemination and communication through which the author, based, as mentioned, the theoretical foundations and methodological Western sociology of health in its various phases, provides the reader with useful and practical information on the state of health of the profession of sociologist and the role he plays in today's complex organizational machinery of the national health service. In practice we try to give a concrete answer to the questions of all time: Who is the sociologist? And most importantly, what does it do? It seeks to highlight the contribution operational and technical-scientific and sociological science, and this "new professional" is able to provide, in terms of "value added" to the complex and delicate social and health system organization. In this part of the reasoning of the initial volume, with a strong theoretical base, he moved on the more pragmatic " of interpersonal skills and know-how . Specifically it seeks to understand the role of the sociologist today, after almost thirty years, since A. Ardizzone, C. Cipolla, E. Minardi and many other prominent academics, following the law 833/78 establishing the National Health Service, starting from the first timid concrete experiences, "imagined ”, parafrasando C. Wright Mills, quale potesse essere il destino professionale del sociologo in sanità. L’autore, prendendo spunto da tali previsioni e ipotesi, molte delle quali rivelatesi addirittura “ profetiche ”, cerca di capire cosa è cambiato realmente dal punto di vista della professione del sociologo all’interno del SSN.L’autore, con la necessaria cautela metodologica, attraverso la realtà lavorativa quotidiana vissuta e narrata dagli stessi protagonisti intervistati, raccoglie le riflessioni e le testimonianze di alcune significative esperienze professionali maturate e realizzate proprio dai sociologi sanitari in alcuni specifici contesti lavorativi.Un contributo professionale che potremmo definire “ad alto valore aggiunto”, innovativo e sicuramente spendibile ai fini del perseguimento degli obiettivi di salute, di ben-essere e per il miglioramento degli standard di qualità delle prestazioni socio-sanitarie erogate a favore dei cittadini. Il volume, intende dimostrare concretamente, nonostante i tanti problemi che ancora investono la professione del sociologo in sanità ed il suo pieno riconoscimento istituzionale, quanto di positivo sia stato fatto in questi ultimi decenni, sul piano della legittimazione dalla professione del sociologo sanitario e della salute. Un travagliato, difficile e complesso percorso di accreditamento professionale, ancora non conclusosi e che, proprio in questi ultimi anni, sulla base di specifiche European and national legislative directions, it is in a phase of implementation. Finally, one last consideration: the positive results thus far from the sociological profession, would not have been achieved without the important and decisive contribution of the sociology academic, scientific and professional associations and proactive action taken by trade union organizations .
