Education
Orsucci received a graduate degree in Medicine at Sapienza University of Rome in 1980 with a dissertation on semiotics in mental health. Later, he received a post-graduate degree in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the same alma mater, with a dissertation on psychotherapy research. Both degrees were first-class hons, and the dissertations were later published.

Research
He examined, in empirical and theoretical studies, how people connect and change through words, culture, movement, feelings, and body signals. These connections create complex combinations of different states. He defined this complex integration as mind-force theory, based on the work of other thinkers like Popper, Lewin, and Freeman. He also explored how this theory relates to complexity science and quantum physics. His goal was to understand human change in a general way. He applied this knowledge to neuroscience and psychotherapy, developing new ways of helping people to understand and transform their lives.
