BARBARA FRANCESCA MINCUZZI

Italian doctor of applied psychoanalysis, living on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe for 8 years. After being executive psychologist of a penitentiary service, I now work for a clinic and my private Consultancy Offices. In parallel, I have undertaken international business studies, which correspond to a progressive shift of interest from the individual to the global sphere, a genuine thirst for expanding my knowledge and seeking new challenging occasions. Its international character resonated with my disposition to overcome a superficial level of approaching people, situations and issues, my inclination to appreciate context rich in diversity, especially cultural variety of international environments, as well as my conception of “difference” in generative terms through the creative process. - University career: in different countries - Italy, Spain, France - and approaches - neuroscientific, cognitivist, psychopathological. - Post-lauream studies: Research Institute in Applied Psychoanalysis.
