Hello!

​

I'm Adriana Tanese Nogueira, a half-blood Brazilian and Italian who grew up in Milan, Italy, since 5 years old. 

​

Milan is my hometown. I spent my youth in the best of the time and place, when cultural initiatives were intense and social movements actives. I studied Comparative Culture (and Languages) in an experimental high school. From there I attended Philosophy at the Università degli Studi di Milano, an amazing place, an ancient medieval monastery turned into a Hospital, and finally University. I spent hours in the little inner courts studying amongst columns and red bricks walls transpiring history. How gorgeous is to be surrounded by the marks of the past!

​

I was endowed by a very peculiar personal past, as my father fought against the military dictatorship that took power in Brazil in 1964, thus forcing us years later to flee to Italy, thanks to my Italian mother. At age 16 I felt the need to go in analysis. Being bicultural, speaking two languages, and asking many questions, I needed to work on myself. 

 

I spent eight years with Clara Serina, who founded later the Centro di Ricerche Evolutive dell'Essere with her first class of students, me included (later became CREDES). Diverging on theoretical issues, I moved to her teacher, the. remarkable thinker and post-jungian analyst, Silvia Montefoschi. That same year, 1988, I started my own practice, being my first little patient Andrea, a 7-year-old violent boy. I was 23, it took me three months to have him change his behavior. He and his parents spent two years with me. Since the beginning I showed a tendency to work with families.

But I was not meant to stay in Brazil. In 2006 I moved to the USA. From here, my activities in Brazil grew without any planning. It simply happened. I have written several books since then and transitioned to my original field, psychology and psychoanalysis. 

 

I consider myself an educator.

Psychoanalysis, according to Silvia Montefoschi, has only two vocations: being repressive or revolutionary.

We choose the second one.

I moved to the USA in 2006, continuing and decreasing my activities.

​

In 2009, I started a collection of books on humanization, totaling ten titles, three of which were translated into Spanish.
