Giovanni Liotti

Dr Giovanni Liotti, MD (né en 1945). Psychiatre et psychothérapeute, il enseigne actuellement à l’Ecole Post-Graduée de Psychothérapie APC à Rome, Italie, ainsi qu’à l’Ecole Post-Graduée de Psychothérapie de l’Université Salaisienne à Rome, Italie. Il s’intéresse aux applications cliniques de la théorie de l’attachement, exprimé en premier lieu dans un livre co-écrit avec V.F. Guidano (Cognitive processes and emotional disorders, Guilford Press, 1983). Il s’est focalisé pendant les trente dernières années sur les liens entre le traumatisme, la dissociation et la désorganisation de l’attachement. Pour ses contributions à cette thématique, le Dr. Liotti a reçu en 2005 le Pierre Janet’s Writing Award (The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation) et en 2006 le International Mind and Brain Award (Université de Turin, Italie).

Nous avons invité Giovanni a faire une intervention sur le thème Attachement désorganisé, trauma complexe et dissociation, en octobre 2016.
