My research interests spread across the domains of clinical and general psychology.
I am interested in studying how to implement psychosocial care programs for frail people at best. In particular, I am exploring the ways decision-making processes can improve the services supporting people with dementia and the strategies to make more effective palliative care programs.
Since late 2018, I have been co-coordinating an E+ project, the SiDeCar project, which aims to develop a Higher Education program of studies focused on psychosocial care for people with dementia.
Finally, I am interested in studying the implicit and explicit mental processes mediating reflexive representations and the ones supporting both human-human and human-objects interaction.
