Marina Amore, psychologist, psychotherapist, and specialist in psychosomatic disorders, is a lecturer and a training and supervising analyst at ISIPSÉ (Institute of Specialization in Psychoanalytic Psychology of the Self and Relational Psychoanalysis). She is a member of the National Committee for Mental Disciplines of SIPNEI (Italian Society of Psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology), and a member of both IARPP (International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) and IAPSP (International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology). She also serves on the Editorial Board of PNEI Review. Her clinical approach integrates relational theory and Self Psychology, with a specific focus on somatic experience within intersubjective dynamics. She works with young adults and adults in individual, couple, and group settings. She emphasizes the clinical relevance of exploring bodily and somatic processes in the experience of the self and in intersubjective communication, especially in virtual contexts, which are increasingly common in contemporary clinical practice. With over 35 years of experience, she has devoted her career to the study of implicit and nonverbal communication—including somatic states and symptoms—within the framework of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. More recently, she has explored new ways of expanding sensory inquiry in dream analysis, particularly effective in once-weekly individual settings. She conducts individual and group training and supervision aimed at developing the therapist’s perceptual and sensory sensitivity, and at using bodily experience as a tool for clinical exploration. She has published several works on the role of the body in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and, in 1998, received an award from SIMP (Italian Society of Psychosomatic Medicine).

She lives and works in Milan, Italy.
