The 9th edition of the IPD/NPSA Rome Conference was held on the 25th and 26th of January 2025 in a hybrid format (in person at Hotel d’Azeglio or online). The conference addressed the topic of body image construction, exploring both theoretical research on its formation and clinical research on eating disorders and dysmorphophobia.

On Saturday, the dialogue on body image formation involved the perspective of philosophy of mind (S. Gallagher), neuroscience (V. Gallese)  and neuroaesthetics (L. Oppenheim) with Dr. Luca Caldironi as chairman.
On Sunday, clinical cases and a panel discussion addressed the clinical issue of how to deal with body image disorders, with a lively contribution from the audience.
