The Force of Imagination

Psychologist and psychoanalyst trained at the Institute of the Peruvian Psychoanalytic Society. Throughout my professional career, I have developed a range of clinical, institutional, social, group, and psychodramatic interests. I lived in Barcelona, Spain, for several years, where I participated in the critical psychiatry movement and had the opportunity to engage with influential figures such as R.D. Laing and Franco Basaglia. Upon returning to Peru, I was involved in the development of a therapeutic community and a day clinic, experiences that further strengthened my interest in institutional and community-based approaches to mental health. I have been a university professor for more than thirty years. I also served as President of the Peruvian Society of Group and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I currently work as a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specializing in couples, families, and groups, as well as in psychoanalytic psychodrama. My professional and academic interests are centered on psychoanalysis and its diverse clinical, relational, institutional, and social applications.
