My name is Fabia E. Banella. I am a psychologist from Rome, where I work and live. I received my psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Relational Psychoanalysis and Self Psychology (ISIPSè, Rome). While I was in training I developed a strong interest in Infant Research, which I nurtured by working and studying the child’s early interactions in Ed Tronick’s Laboratory (Boston). Afterward I completed my PhD in infant socialemotional development and I founded the Brazelton Touchpoint Center (Rome), which offers training for professionals working with families and children. At this stage I teach Psychology at St John’s University (Rome Campus) and I work in my private practice with children, adults and families in Rome. I joined IARPP in 2012 for the Anniversary Conference in NY, and I have been actively participating ever since. I am a Board Member of IARPP and the Co-Chair of the Child, Adolescent & Parent Committee.
