EtchegoyenE’ morto all’età di 97 anni Horacio Etchegoyen, argentino, psicoanalista di fama mondiale, noto in Italia soprattutto per “I fondamenti della psicoanalisi” pubblicato da Astrolabio. Analizzato negli anni ’40 da Heinrich Racker (negli anni ’60 fece poi una seconda analisi a Londra con Donald Meltzer), fu supervisionato da analisti del calibro di Enrique Pichon Rivière, León Grinberg, e José Bleger, rimanendo poi attivo come psicoanalista, di forte impronta kleiniana, per oltre 60 anni. Con lui perdiamo uno psicoanalista che ha fatto la storia della psicoanalisi, uomo e intellettuale di prima grandezza.
