Member of the School of Freudian Psychoanalysis since 2006 and Vice-President since 2020.

During her psychoanalytic training she has gained a particular experience with disadvantaged children and adolescents. In the first part of her training she studied and deepened the theories of psychosexual development and at a later time she studied the semantics of the living in neo-Lamarckian terms. She has carried out studies related to the scientific foundations of psychoanalysis, mainly in relation to the theory of suggestion.

She is currently engaged in the development of a research, which derives from a theoretical hypothesis of Franco Baldini, concerning the role of self-preservation drives in the development of some childhood psychic pathologies, until forming a new nosographic category.

She is a member of the Editorial Board of Metapsychologica: Journal of Freudian Psychoanalysis.
