Her teachings and research specialties include the connection between body and emotion, particularly the relationship between children’s behavior (i.e., play and social interactions) and social-emotional and motor competence, and the impact of body-oriented interventions (e.g., play therapy, therapeutic touch, relaxation techniques) on children’s and adults’ health and well-being. Guida’s research is focused on typical development as well as on various clinical groups (e.g., children with hearing impairments, women with breast cancer, women victims of violence), involving collaboration with national hospitals (e.g., Hospital D. Estefânia, Lisbon; Hospital do Espírito Santo, Évora) and international institutions (Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands). Currently, she is the principal investigator of the project Knowledge Academy Out-TO-In, which was recently awarded a grant from Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. The project aims to promote children’s social-emotional competence through body-oriented practices implemented outdoors at preschools.
