Written in English, for clinicians
I am an Italian psychologist and psychotherapist. Most of my writing is in Italian; these volumes are not translations but standalone English texts, written for colleagues who work in English.
They share one commitment, which is that the clinical question is not whether ADHD exists, but what we do in the room with a person who arrives with that word already written on their forehead.
The compendia
Short, dense, clinical. Rather than manuals or literature reviews, each one takes a question we actually meet in session and stays with it long enough to be useful on Monday morning. All digital, so you download them the moment you buy.
The debate asks whether adult ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition or the misrecognised trace of early adversity. This volume refuses the either/or and reads attentional dysregulation as a relational history too, without swapping one label for another.

For clinicians who meet adults already diagnosed, or arriving at the diagnosis on their own, and are not sure what to do with it. The strengths-based turn breaks the grammar of deficit, but does not move the plane of the discussion.

AI and psychotherapy, and structural sycophancy, meaning why a model optimised not to displease will, by construction, tend to agree, and why meeting something that does not agree with you is a large part of what our work is.

The book · 181 pages
A clinical and ethical guide to psychotherapy in the age of artificial intelligence. Your patient has often already spoken, since by the time she reaches your office, the hardest thing she had to say has been said to something that is not a person.
This is not a book about technology. It is a book about clinical work in a moment that changed underneath us, written for licensed clinicians, by a psychodynamic psychotherapist.

Printable instruments for session work with adults, adolescents and children, built on the same premise as the compendia, with no norms, no scoring and no cut-offs. They are there to open a conversation, not to close one.
A one-page field note: three questions to sit with before the label gets written.

Asking who matters produces a list. Asking a patient to place people at a distance produces a picture they have to explain to themselves.

An eight-part grid for organising your own attention when a patient uses AI between sessions. Not a questionnaire.

Between-session tracking that asks for four marks a day and produces a shape, instead of a table nobody learns from.

The first session back is not a resumption, it is a reunion, and almost none of what it stirs up announces itself.

Psychoeducation that explains what a symptom is for, and not only what it is. The omission is never neutral.

Scales with two poles and no numbers. A number out of ten is the least informative thing a person can say about themselves.

The opening is the session's most diagnostic stretch, and it is usually wasted on «how was your week?».

The anxiety is doing something. Worth finding out what, before trying to remove it. Two halves: for the child, and for the parents.

A child of six has no word for most of what happens in them. Every sheet begins in the body, and only then moves toward language.

I read Clinical Psychology at Sapienza University of Rome and have been a licensed psychologist since 2018. In 2022 I completed the four-year specialisation in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at SPS in Rome, training in Demand Analysis, an approach that is not satisfied with the symptom, but asks what the request for help means inside the history and the contexts of the person who brings it.
Alongside clinical practice I have worked on the organisational side, with the distress that comes from work and the organisations that produce it. That double vantage point runs through everything I write, because suffering never lives in a vacuum but inside relationships, contexts and cultures.
I see clients online and in person in Itri, near Rome, and I work in Italian, English and Spanish.
For clinical supervision, a first consultation, or anything about the compendia, writing to me is the fastest route. The rest of the site is in Italian, but you can switch language from the menu at the top.
For clinicians. They assume you already sit with patients and take for granted the vocabulary of the consulting room. Two of them are also readable by an informed non-specialist, but the address is professional throughout.
PDF, and PDF plus EPUB for the longer two. Delivery is an instant download from Etsy the moment you buy, so nothing is shipped and nothing arrives later by email.
No. They are standalone English texts, written for colleagues who work in English. The Italian editions cover different ground and live on Gumroad.
Yes, online, individually or in small groups. I work in Italian, English and Spanish. Writing to me is the fastest way to see whether it makes sense for the case or the team you have in mind.
