Psychologists play an essential role in improving people's quality of life. It is not only a matter of resolving or preventing mental health diseases, but also of promoting overall psychophysical well-being, enhancing existing resources and creating new ones through empowerment interventions.

One promising area for intervention is lifestyle and people's relationship with food and their bodies.

Maria Morandi, psychologist, shared her experience in this area in a Open Lecture for students of Patrizia Catellani's "Psychology of Food and Lifestyles" course. She offered tools and insights for building a professional identity aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles characterised by mindful eating, pleasurable movement and greater acceptance of oneself and one's body.
