E&A - Enrique Pichon Riviere and Arminda Aberastury

E&A

Pichon Riviere was the father of Social Psychology in Argentina, and my grandfather. Arminda Aberastury was a pioneer in children and teenagers psychoanalysis, and my grandmother. His son Joaquin, my father, and I worked on this image book to tell a story like it has never been told before.

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.

All works have been done by Clara Pichon Riviere between 2007 and 2022.
