My research focuses on the philosophy of psychiatry and classical psychoanalysis, grounded in an academic background in philosophy, from aesthetics to the philosophy of language. My multidisciplinary research project aims to correlate and find possible points of interaction between philosophy, pragmatism, and psychopathology. Specifically, my research seeks to examine the contribution of Harry Stack Sullivan, the founder and main proponent of the psychodynamic field known as interpersonal psychiatry or interpersonal psychoanalysis, shedding light on his pioneering socio-environmental approach.
