E&A - Enrique Pichon Riviere and Arminda Aberastury

Enrique Pichon-Rivière (June 25, 1907 – July 16, 1977) was a psychiatrist considered one of the introducers of group psychoanalysis in Argentina and generator of the group theory known as Grupo operativo (Operative Groups).

Arminda Aberastury (1910–1972), was an early Argentinian psychoanalyst. She was born in Buenos Aires. Through her brother Frederico, who suffered from mental illness, she came to meet Enrique Pichon-Rivière, and married him in 1937. She joined a local, mostly European group interested in psychoanalysis.
