Mariella Battipaglia is a physician, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and Jungian psychoanalyst based in Rome. She holds teaching and supervisory functions (socio ordinario con funzioni didattiche) within AIPA (Associazione Italiana di Psicologia Analitica) and is a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Her medical background and psychiatric specialization provide the foundation for a clinical practice that integrates psychopharmacological and psychoanalytic approaches.

Battipaglia has developed particular expertise in the integrated treatment of eating disorders and nutritional pathology, as well as in the clinical management of anxiety-depressive and trauma-related conditions. She works at the Brain Clinic of Salvator Mundi International Hospital in Rome, where she brings her combined psychiatric and analytical training to bear on complex clinical presentations. Her scholarly interests lie at the intersection of Jungian theory, neuroscience, and intersubjectivity, with published work exploring the somatic matrix of the analytical couple and clinical reflections on trauma.

She is an active contributor to AIPA's continuing education program, having coordinated cultural seminars on themes such as the body in analytical practice and the integration of embodied reverie within the psychoanalytic setting. Her work reflects a contemporary Jungian sensibility attentive to the somatic and relational dimensions of the analytical encounter.
