Psychologist, psychotherapist and researcher at the Transplant Center of the University Hospital of Catania, Italy. My research interests mainly concern the psychological aspects of organ transplantation: attachment, parental bond, psychopathology and quality of life, as risk and protective factors of therapeutic adherence. Another important research topic concerns the psychological aspects of living donation: identify any risk factors or psychological contraindications to donation, investigate the awareness and motivations of the donor-recipient couple, know the type of family relationships and dynamics, with particular attention to the quality of the donor-recipient relationship.
I believe it is essential to work in a multidisciplinary perspective.
