CV / Résumé

SUMMARY

I work in the medical field and find particular interest in studying trauma — specifically how recognizing individual pain can help one understand his or her self better as well as the society at large. In accomplishing this, we utilize not only psychoanalytical tools, but also artistic creative expression to find a deeper understanding.

My numerous publications and presentations reflect an emphasis on Bionian thought, especially around the concept of “creativity," which I also incorporate in the Venetian art exhibition space Castello925 (of which I am the Director), as well as in the K-Now-L-Edge Project, which is devoted to the study of creativity and how it develops in a dance between art and psychoanalysis. Additionally, I manage a private practice in both Modena and Venice.
