My research focuses on intersubjective processes and their relationship with health, psychological well-being, and learning. Intersubjectivity refers to the human capacity to share emotions, intentions, symbols, narratives, and meanings with others. I approach this field from the perspective of interpersonal neurobiology, which integrates the psychological, relational, and neurobiological dimensions of human development.
This framework also has an applied dimension involving the use of video for psychotherapeutic purposes. I have trained in Video Intervention Therapy (VIT), developed by Dr George Downing, and I am accredited as a trainer and supervisor by the International Institute of Video Intervention Therapy. I am also certified to use Ruth Feldman’s Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) system in research. CIB is an internationally used observational system for coding interactions between children and their caregivers. This line of research is currently being developed through the TEVI-CIB project, which examines interactions between caregivers and children who have experienced or witnessed violence in the home. Its aim is to contribute to a better understanding of their relational needs and to the personalisation of therapeutic interventions.
A further line of research focuses on reflective learning and the role of university tutoring in students’ personal and professional development. In this field, I have contributed to the development of the RITHE model, an individual tutoring approach designed to foster reflection on experience, the integration of learning, and the construction of professional identity. I also study university tutoring and mentoring as contexts for the transmission, deliberation, and development of values.
