Deivede Eder Ferreira | Psychoanalyst & Author | Published Works | Official Author Page

Deivede Eder Ferreira is a psychoanalyst, author, and founder of ABRAFP – the Brazilian Association of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, an institution dedicated to the international development and dissemination of psychoanalytic thought and interdisciplinary research. With academic training in Philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Ferreira integrates psychoanalysis, philosophy, literature, and cultural analysis into a coherent and globally oriented body of work.

He is the creator of the Psicoanálisis Esencial Collection, an international editorial project published by ABRAFP and conceived to present the foundational authors of psychoanalysis through clear, structured, and conceptually rigorous volumes. Designed as a unified intellectual corpus rather than a set of isolated titles, the collection introduces thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, Jacques Lacan, Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Erich Fromm, Wilfred Bion, and Sándor Ferenczi to Spanish-speaking readers seeking a systematic and serious engagement with psychoanalytic theory.

His publications, available in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Turkish, address core themes of psychoanalysis, including the unconscious, desire, subjectivity, trauma, love, death, and the philosophical foundations of psychic life. His writing is characterized by conceptual clarity, theoretical rigor, and accessibility, establishing bridges between classical psychoanalytic theory and contemporary cultural questions.

Through books, essays, courses, and multilingual editions distributed internationally via academic and library platforms, Ferreira contributes to the consolidation of psychoanalysis as a living intellectual tradition. His work reinforces ABRAFP’s mission to promote psychoanalytic knowledge across cultures and languages, fostering dialogue between psychoanalysis, philosophy, and global culture.
