JULIE RESHE

​

[apart from being a pathetic failure] I am a Ukrainian-born philosopher and the author of a negative psychoanalytic approach. With over 300 patients, I have extensive experience as a negative practitioner.

​

I earned my PhD studying psychoanalysis at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts under the supervision of Alenka Zupančič. In addition, I studied existential therapy at the University of Oxford and hold certification as an APPA philosophical counselor.

 

At present, I hold the position of a Visiting Professor at University College Cork and University College Dublin. I am also a Director of the Institute of Psychoanalysis, Global Center for Advanced Studies. I have given lectures and public talks at institutions including the Sorbonne, University College London, the University of Essex, and the University of Oxford.

​

My recent publications appeared in AEON, Springer, Everyday Analysis, Sublation Media, 3:am Magazine, Penumbr(a), The Philosophical Salon, knife.media, among others. My latest books are Negative Psychoanalysis for the Living Dead: Philosophical Pessimism and the Death Drive (Palgrave, 2023), Death and Love: Psychoanalytic and Philosophical Perspectives (co-edited with Todd McGowan, Routledge, 2025), Negative Essays on Death, Love, and Depressive Realism (Negative Press, 2026).​
