ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the conversation between the author and Ana Quiroga. While he is still intentionally ignored in many circles, Ana Quiroga believes that Enrique Pichon Riviere's teachings and his disciples’ developments have succeeded in maintaining his presence and evolving with it. Pichon was a thinker and practitioner who immediately became influential in Argentina because of his attitude, of his role as a pioneer in the development of psychoanalysis in the country. His work also resonated in France and Switzerland in the 1950s, in particular because Pichon was in contact with Lacan, Lagache, Hesnard, Nacht, and other European thinkers. Pichon was always a founder of institutions. One of the first institutions he founded was the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association, but Pichon felt very proud of his membership in the Society of Neurology and Psychiatry, where he was accepted as a full member at a very young age.
