Bio

I am Nicolás Garrera-Tolbert, PhD, LP, a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychoanalyst, philosopher, poet, and translator (Spanish/English/French). I received my psychoanalytic training at Apertura para Otro Lacan (Buenos Aires) and the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (New York City). In philosophy, I have held teaching and research positions in various academic and cultural settings: Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, and the United States. Currently, I'm a lecturer of philosophy at St. Francis College (Downtown Brooklyn) and keep a private analytic practice in Manhattan. My current research focuses on the philosophical foundations of psychoanalysis and I am preparing a manuscript on the concept of psychoanalytic subject from a Lacanian perspective.
