ABSTRACT

I completed my professional three-year training in art therapy in Italy in 2013. I am a member of the Italian Association of Art Therapists (APIArT). My background is in Counselling, Psychosynthesis and Psycho-Oncology. I have always been interested in meditation and in end-of-life care, and I have attended some courses run by Frank Ostaseski, the founding director of the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco (USA). I have also attended professional courses in creative writing and autobiography. I have developed an approach of deep attention and respect for people, for their rights and for their different needs.
