Juan-David Nasio (born 1942 in Rosario, Argentina) is an Argentinian psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and writer. He is one of the founders of Séminaires Psychanalytiques de Paris.

Biography

After qualifying as a doctor from the University of Buenos Aires, Nasio completed his residency as a psychiatrist at the hospital in Lanús. In 1969, he emigrated to France where he attended the classes of Jacques Lacan.

He was a professor at the University of Paris VII Sorbonne for 30 years from 1971 and for three years had a seminar in the école Freudienne de Paris (1977-1980). After its dissolution in 1980, he founded the Séminaires Psychanalytiques de Paris (1986). He received the French Legion of Honour.

In addition to participating in Lacan's seminars and translating his Écrits into Spanish, he is the author of 27 books published in French, six of which have been translated into English.

Editorial summary

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1942, 1969, 1971, 1977—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1942-01-01. The account is most persuasive where Juan-David, Nasio and French can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french psychoanalyst (born 1942). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q360905. VIAF identifies the subject as 105532871. The Library of Congress control number is n85152936. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1942, 1969, 1971 and 1977.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
