Alberto Fabris

I am a psychoanalyst and university researcher with over fifteen years of international experience. My passion for intercultural understanding and diverse modes of thought led me to live and study in France for more than a decade, where I attended the Écoles Normales Supérieures in Paris and Lyon. Subsequently, I continued my studies at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. I hold a PhD in philosophy and currently teach and conduct research at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, where I have developed an extensive portfolio of scientific publications.

​

In addition to my academic career, I have had the opportunity to engage in secondary education teaching in Belgium, an experience that deepened my understanding of educational institutions and allowed me to interact with young students aged 11 to 18.

​

My life is split between Brussels—where I live with my partner Caterina, our daughter Allegra, and our cat Pinni—and Venice, where I continue my teaching and research activities.

​

My approach to psychoanalysis was driven by the need to confront the anxieties associated with professional and existential precariousness, a condition deeply felt by many of my generation. This need for understanding intertwined with my previous reflections on institutional dynamics and their potential for oppression, inspired by thinkers like Foucault, Basaglia, and Graeber. This intellectual journey and introspective exploration led me to decide to become a psychoanalyst myself.

​

The path to becoming a psychoanalyst requires intense personal analysis and meticulous training, which I pursued at the Association of European Psychoanalysts, an institution that values interdisciplinarity and the integration of diverse analytical methodologies and practices.
