TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Homophobic bullying: critical considerations, and legal-institutional interventions JO - Rivista di psichiatria A1 - Brusco, Paolo A1 - Nivoli, Giancarlo A1 - Depalmas, Cristiano A1 - Nivoli, Alessandra A1 - Milia, Paolo A1 - Lorettu, Liliana SP - 23 EP - 28 VL - 55 IS - 6 N2 - Instances in the increase of homophobic bullying mean a major interest in order to develop strong bullying prevention programming which should be a major priority for adults, governments and institutions responsible to promote and ensure a responsible development of society. The complexity of the problem requires a multidisciplinary approach of a comprehensive nature. Starting from the construction of gender identities, and taking into account and understanding the biological aspects, external influences, and arising contrasts during the process, a young person faces adolescence: a transition period when sexual orientation or preference faces higher risks as the person has to come to terms with a mismatch between scales of knowledge. The outcome will result in an inter-generational conflict which becomes a prejudice. By acquiring the desired characteristics of mind and body, adolescents develop their own cognitive skills. Thus we can consider homophobic bullying in its psycho-sociological implications. The aim of this paper is to delineate an explanation of the topic in a scientific, educational and professional way, and at the same time to take into account all legal and institutional issues.
