Andrea Scalabrini is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, Jungian psychoanalyst, and neuroscientist. He is Associate Professor of Dynamic Psychology at the University of Bergamo, an Adjunct Scientist at the University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research at The Royal, and a member of CIPA, the Italian Centre for Analytical Psychology, and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). His clinical and research work focuses on the organization and development of the self, personality functioning, trauma and dissociation, affective disorders, and the relational processes involved in psychotherapy. His approach brings Jungian and contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives into dialogue with clinical psychology, neuroscience, and brain imaging.

Scalabrini's research investigates the self across psychological, relational, clinical, and neurobiological levels. He examines how bodily, emotional, relational, and cognitive processes contribute to the sense of self; how early relational experience shapes its development; and how disruptions may be associated with trauma, dissociation, personality pathology, affective disorders, and altered experience of self and others. His work also addresses spontaneous brain activity, self-referential experience, intersubjectivity, emotional regulation, and the ways personality organization and trauma-related processes shape emotional communication and interpersonal synchrony in psychotherapy. The broader aim is an empirically grounded neuropsychodynamic model connecting subjective experience, relational processes, psychopathology, and brain dynamics.

In clinical practice, Scalabrini works primarily with adults experiencing personality-related difficulties, trauma and dissociation, mood disorders, relational problems, and disruptions in identity and continuity of self. His approach is psychodynamic and Jungian, attending to the development of the self, early relational and emotional experience, dissociative processes, and the restoration of psychological integration. Symptoms are considered within the wider context of a person's life history, emotional organization, relationships, and characteristic ways of experiencing self and others.
