Deborah Cotroneo was born in 1998 in Reggio Calabria and later moved to Catania to attend a three-year degree course in Psychological Sciences and Techniques. During her university studies, she carried out two significant internships: the first at a residential community for women involved in legal proceedings, who lived with their children in order to assess their relationship and decide on custody; and the second at the APA (Association for Applied Psychoanalysis), an organization dedicated to research, training, and clinical practice. Attracted by the psychoanalytic and dynamic approach, she continued her studies in Clinical Psychology, doing a further internship at the 'Amici di San Patrignano' association, where she chose to remain as a volunteer after her training experience. Currently, Deborah is a student at the University of Granada, thanks to the Erasmus program, thus continuing her international academic career.
