PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES
I have obtained significant Clinical Psychiatric experience since leaving university in a wide range of specialisations; each qualified role has allowed me to gain considerable specific knowledge. The diversity in each role beginning as a Medical officer for the Italian Army through consultancy for detoxification and rehab, criminal and civil law and public psychiatric services has offered me the possibility to expand and grow professionally, giving me the opportunity to learn and apply a varied technical and studied approach to my work.
Through the years I have collaborated with various entities dealing with public psychiatric services and rehabilitation thus acquiring strength and knowledge in facing and dealing with the various tasks involved in such work. Through it all my responsibilities have increased in direct relation to the quality, reliability and punctuality I apply to my work. This experience has therefore allowed me to direct it towards the accredited and modern praxis’ in personal treatment, penitentiaries, the mentally unstable and criminals. At the same time I continued to direct my interests and studies
towards forensic psychiatry and criminology to the point of being able to work in this field exclusively as a university teacher and consultant for the regional and national High Courts.
