Nathan Lupo has been practicing therapy for 20 years. He is a psychoanalyst and faculty member of the Lacan School of Psychoanalysis, and President of the Sacramento Psychoanalytic Society. He leads workshops on case formulation, writing and the use of dreams in analysis, and he facilitates an ongoing reading group for the discussion of primary texts in psychoanalysis. He is interested in psychoanalysis as an effective clinical practice that offers patients relief from symptoms and facilitates a sense of well-being, but also as an ethical practice of living a whole life, that is, one that integrates the myriad and complex aspects of being human.
