Overview

Rivista di Psicoanalisi (originally Rivista italiana di psicoanalisi) is the official journal of the Società Psicoanalitica Italiana (Italian Psychoanalytic Society). It was founded in 1928 by Edoardo Weiss as a bimonthly publication, with its first issue appearing in 1932. The journal was suppressed by the Fascist authorities only two years later, after 14 issues. In 1954, eight years after the Italian Psychoanalytic Society was able to resume its activities, the journal was revived in Milan as a quarterly under the editorship of Cesare Musatti, who directed it until 1971. Since then, a succession of prominent Italian psychoanalysts have served as editors, including Francesco Corrao, Franco Fornari, Eugenio Gaddini, Glauco Carloni, Giovanni Hautmann, Roberto Tagliacozzo, Antonio Alberto Semi, Pier Luigi Rossi, Agostino Racalbuto, Patrizio Campanile, Alberto Luchetti, Giuseppe Civitarese, and Paola Marion. The journal is published four times a year (quadrimestrale) and, since 2021, has been edited by Alfredo Lombardozzi. Since 2016 it has been published by Raffaello Cortina Editore of Milan. The journal serves as a key forum for psychoanalytic theory, clinical practice, and research in Italy, and it maintains an active presence through its website and the ASPI (Archivio Storico della Psicoanalisi Italiana) history page.

History

Rivista di Psicoanalisi was founded in 1928 by Edoardo Weiss under the name Rivista italiana di psicoanalisi. It was conceived as a bimonthly journal, but its first issue was not published until 1932. The journal was short-lived: after only 14 issues, it was closed by the Fascist authorities in 1934. Following the end of World War II, the Italian Psychoanalytic Society (Società Psicoanalitica Italiana), of which the journal is the official organ, was able to resume its activities in 1946. Eight years later, in 1954, the journal was revived in Milan as a quarterly (quadrimestrale) under the editorship of Cesare Musatti, who guided it until 1971. Since then, the journal has been led by a series of distinguished Italian psychoanalysts: Francesco Corrao (1972–1973), Franco Fornari (1974–1978), Eugenio Gaddini (1978–1982), Glauco Carloni (1982–1986), Giovanni Hautmann (1986–1990), Roberto Tagliacozzo (1990–1992), Antonio Alberto Semi (1993–1996), Pier Luigi Rossi (1997–2002), Agostino Racalbuto (2003–2005), Patrizio Campanile (2005–2009), Alberto Luchetti (2009–2013), Giuseppe Civitarese (2013–2017), and Paola Marion (2017–2021). In 2016, the journal moved to the publisher Raffaello Cortina Editore of Milan. Since 2021, it has been edited by Alfredo Lombardozzi. The journal remains a quarterly publication and continues to serve as a central platform for psychoanalytic discourse in Italy.
