Dr. Vincenzo Di Nicola's work addresses the unmet health needs of three vulnerable groups – children, families, and ethnocultural communities – producing transdisciplinary syntheses with practical impacts. He developed an important clinical guide for work with immigrant families, providing tools for effective therapy with ethnocultural communities, migrants, and refugees. His work on child psychiatric problems across cultures remedies gaps in understanding problems such as eating disorders, selective mutism, and trauma by integrating ethnocultural factors into child psychiatric treatment. Moreover, Di Nicola's work in social psychiatry translates the powerful social determinants of health research into clinical and community services, advocacy, health-care planning, and policy-making.
