About K. Movallali

   

      Born in Chiraz in 1948, Kéramat Movallali moved to France in 1975. Continuing his university studies (Paris VIII, V and VII) as well as his psychoanalytic training, he worded (from 1979 to 1985) as a psychologist in Champagne-Ardennes, then from 1985, as a psychoanalyst in the Paris region. In charge of supervising several palliative care teams in the Yvelines region, he set up a hospital-based chronic pain consultation in 2008.

 

      His publications in Iran have introduced the Lacanian clinic to Persian-speaking readers. Fundamentals of Psychoanalysis (Mabani-e ravankavi) has been in constant publication since 2005. He also wrote Time and Mind (Zehn-o zaman) on dreams, as well as a book on logics and topology (topolojy-é tammana), aimed at students and professionals. In 2024, he managed to publish the first volume of his Encyclopedia of Psychoanalysis (Dayeratol-maaref-e ravankavi), followed by Mourning and Melancholy (soug va melankoli), Divided Man (Enssan-e monghassem), and the first volume of his Interpretation of Dreams, From Sumer to Freud (Taabir-e khaab, az Sumer ta Freud).

      He has also written two books in French on the subject of dreams, Contribution à la question du rêve (Harmattan, 2007) and Le temps et le cerveau (Harmattan, 2017), the English translation of which was published the same year by Routledge (Dreams, Neuroscience, and Psychoanalysis).
