SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES:
Current research interests focus on the integration between Dynamic Psychology and Neuroscience, contributing to the development of multidisciplinary convergence between these perspectives. For example, some research lines have focused on investigating the somatic correlate (synchronization of physiological signals between patient and therapist) of the change process in psychodynamic-oriented therapy. Another research interest in the same field is the investigation of the psychological component as a vulnerability factor in diseases affecting the body. More generally, she is involved in research in the field of psychotherapy (focusing on the role of empathy functions in the therapeutic process) and psychopathology. In the latter context, she is addressed to the development of a psychodynamic and social model transversal to approaches aimed at describing the etiopathogenesis and general functioning of psychopathology (Harmonium model).
She has participated in numerous funded research projects primarily related to the well-being of patients and their caregivers. She is currently working on the PRIN project entitled: "Interpersonal Biofeedback Intervention Supporting Caregivers Online".



She is the author of more of one hundred scientific contributions nationally and internationally (including articles, book chapters, two monographs, and a treatise), 69 of which appear in Scopus.
