***I ALWAYS reply as soon as possible to every email I receive. In the case you would not receive a reply in 2 weeks (if there are no further reasons), the only reason is the large amount of emails I receive everyday. In this case I apologize and I ask you to write to me again. You will receive a reply asap***
Research
My lines of research are organized around the improvement of the screening, the evaluation of risk factors and modalities of prevention and treatment of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and mood disorders. I use meta-analytic tools and I have expertise in systematic reviews of the literature.
