Luigi Zoja

Luigi Zoja (born August 19, 1943) is an Italian psychoanalyst and writer.

After taking his diploma, Zoja returned to Zurich to work at a clinic for several years.

He also practiced for two years in New York City, during a period that bracketed the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D. C. He has taught regularly at the Zurich Jung Institute, and also on occasion at the Universities of Palermo and Insubria.

[1] Most of his essays interpret present-day predicaments (addiction, limitless consumption, the absence of the father, hatred and paranoid projections in politics, etc.)

by placing them in the light of persistent ancient patterns, as expressed in myth and classical literature.
