Rafael E. Lopez-Corvo is a psychoanalyst. He served on the editorial board of the International Journal of Psycho-Analysis and was an associate professor at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has a private practice in Toronto.[1] He is a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association.
All along his extended career he has managed to conciliate his mainstream psychoanalytic affiliation with independent and original lines of thought and research, spawning through stucturalist approaches to child evolution, group dynamics and psychology, theological determinants of gender psychology, the mind of the addict and its treatment, self-envy and other topics.
Though independent in thought, research and method, Rafael E. López-Corvo is an expert in the teachings of Wilfred Bion whom he considers has laid the foundations of future psychoanalysis.
