El comité ejecutivo de la HFFL con profunda tristeza informa la partida de Carmen Navarro-Nino, fundadora de la Houston Freudian Field Library, el día 28 de Marzo de 2022.
Carmen fue una luchadora incansable, un testigo de su deseo de vivir, que se animaba también por su deseo y trabajo dirigido a la causa analítica y la difusión de la enseñanza de Jacques Lacan.
Somos sensibles a su partida y expresamos nuestra profunda gratitud por lo que nos ha brindado en los últimos 20 años; una labor sostenida a través de los seminarios de lectura, estudio de casos clínicos, carteles Lacanianos, supervisiones y análisis individuales.
Enviamos nuestras cariñosas condolencias a su esposo Luis Fernando-Nino, su hija Edith y su hijo Hans, a sus amados nietos y a sus familiares, así como sus amigos y colegas de la AMP, NLS, Lacanian Compass, NEL Caracas y FIBOL en el mundo.
Tomamos prestado las palabras de la AMP ante la partida de Judith Miller, quien ofreció a Carmen gran apoyo para empezar la HFFL, cuando dijeron: “No hay orfandad cuando ha habido transmisión”.
Honramos su Memoria.

Dear HFFL Members,
It is with deep sadness that the HFFL Executive Committee informs the passing of Carmen Navarro-Nino, founder of the Houston Freudian Field Library, on March 28th, 2022.
Carmen was a tireless warrior, an example of her desire to live, which was also fueled by her desire and work for the analytical cause and the dissemination of Jacques Lacan’s teaching. We are sensitive to her departure and we express our deep gratitude for what she has given us in the last 20 years, a sustained work through reading seminars, clinical case studies, Lacanian cartels, individual supervision and analysis.
We send our heartfelt condolences to her husband Luis Fernando-Nino, her daughter Edith and son Hans, her beloved grandchildren and their family members, as well as her friends and colleagues at WAP, NLS, Lacanian Compass, NEL Caracas and FIBOL around the world.
We borrowed the words used by the WAP upon the loss of Judith Miller, who offered Carmen great support to start the HFFL: “There is no orphanhood when there has been transmission”.
We honor her memory.
Executive Committee of the Houston Freudian Field Library

In this *interview, Carmen Navarro Nino, AP, AMP, NLS, shares her ideas and experience in founding the Houston Freudian Field Library.
Through this conversation, Carmen explains how she, together with some valuable colleagues, started the Lacanian Reading Seminars in 2002 and how, with the support of Judith Miller and Michèle Laboureur, co-founded the HFFL.
Carmen explains the work and activities that have been taking place in Houston, TX and the interrelations between the HFFL and FIBOL (International Federation of Lacanian Orientation Libraries), AMP/WAP (World Association of Psychoanalysis), NLS (New Lacanian School) and Lacanian Compass.
During the interview, Carmen also remarks the elements that helped her to sustain her orientation towards Lacan’s teaching and how the opening of a space to reading his teaching has produced effects on her own clinical practice as well. In good spirits, Carmen encourages the younger generation and anyone interested in Psychoanalysis to approach and work with the analytical cause “as good things can come out of it”, as her experiences well proofs.
We thank Carmen for her generosity, transmission, and sustained desire to work for the analytical cause in the USA.
