Silvia Montefoschi (1926 – 2011) was an Italian Jungian psychoanalyst.
Montefoschi was born in
Rome. She started studying
psychoanalysis after the degree in
medicine and in
biology. She was a student of
Ernst Bernhard, (in turn student of Jung). She was distinguished, since her first works, for an interpretation in dialectical key of the Jungian thought.
From the vision of the psychoanalytic relationship as an intersubjective evolutionary relationship, she theorized the universal meaning of the human cognitive experience as process of self-consciousness and evolution of the being.
After 1977, she began focusing on issues of
intersubjectivity in a unified reading of the history of psychoanalysis from
Sigmund Freud to
Carl Jung and to this day, applying the "
principle of individuation" to the same psychoanalysis and its history.
