Guglielmo Gulotta

Summary
Guglielmo Gulotta has been a full professor (retired since 2009) at the University of Turin, Department of Psychology. He continues his career in law as a criminal barrister of the Milan Court, and his law activity takes him all around Italy. He is a psychologist and a psychotherapist. Despite his retirement as an academic, Guglielmo Gulotta continues to give lectures and participate in important national debates regarding psychology as a science of human facts. His major expertise concerns the forensic setting, having been one of the first Italian criminal barristers to have a psychology specialisation. This dual competence (law and psychology) has promoted a novel and enriched approach to studying criminal law and to go beyond the mechanical application of the legal norms to the forensic case. His scientific career has been witnessed by his work done in various areas of psychology and the law. Gulotta is the Editor of two scientific series with the Milan Publisher – [Giuffrè]: Juridical and Criminal Psychology Series and Notebooks on Psychology Series. He has published up to now, as an author and a co-author, 50 books, and more than 300 scientific papers, some of them in different languages. Gulotta is considered one of the most prominent contemporary authorities in Juridical and Forensic Psychology in Italy. His fundamental scientific work lies in the complex and controversial task of reducing the gap between the law and psychology, and in creating a bridge between these two areas of human investigation and behaviour. The scientific influence of Guglielmo Gulotta has spread widely from criminal law through: attribution theory; child abuse allegations; ethics in psychology and in professional practice; forensic neuroscience; forensic psychology; humour in life and in psychotherapy; interpersonal influence studies; mobbing; psychoanalysis and individual responsibility; psychology of last will and testament; social psychology as a science of everyday life; systemic theory and family conflicts; touristic psychology; victimology.
