Benjamin Strosberg

Benjamin Strosberg, PhD is Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology program at Pacifica Graduate Institute and a psychotherapist in private practice. He earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Duquesne University. Dr. Strosberg’s research is deeply rooted in the human science tradition, traversing critical, psychoanalytic, and phenomenological approaches. Currently, his research carves two primary paths: a renewed clinical engagement with French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche and a critical examination of racism and anti-Semitism. His published work spans diverse topics, including teletherapy, psychosis, Jewish studies, and education, and engages with seminal thinkers such as Jacques Lacan, Emmanuel Levinas, and Theodor Adorno. Committed to advancing critical reflection, Dr. Strosberg aims to foster nuanced approaches in both academic and practical contexts. Through teaching and research, he strives to deepen understanding of pressing issues in clinical psychology while promoting interdisciplinary perspectives that can inform effective (and affective) interventions and social change. His first book is titled Anti-Semitism at the Limit: Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis (Palgrave Macmillan).
