This contribution focuses on a need and stems from the generous availability of Professor Cristina Alberini, who agreed to engage in a brief interview with the authors. The piece is further enriched by a commentary inspired by the important seminar Neuroscience and Clinical Practice: Meeting Points, held at the Sigmund Freud University (SFU) in Milan.
