Dr. Orna Reuven

I’m a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, a member of Tel-Aviv institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TAICP). My Ph.D. dissertation focused on the control processes typical to OCD and conceptualized the intriguing dynamics between attempts to control internal events (as thoughts and feelings) and external events. Along side my teaching at Reichman University, I teach clinical psychology graduate students at Tel-Aviv University. I write of the complexities of love and passion in the therapeutic relationship, of meeting between psychoanalysis and the arts, and of the wide spreading effects of anxiety and trauma.
