Quinn Foerch is a psychoanalyst focused on advancing the role of topology for the treatment of human suffering and the reading of social and political phenomena. Formally trained in literature, psychology, and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Foerch uses these mediums to stage interdisciplinary investigations in both the clinic and culture. Steeped in a particularly Francophone intellectual context, Foerch intends to strengthen a bridge between French and English speaking psychoanalytic communities.

A correspondent member of the Association lacanienne Internationale and student since 2021, Foerch was privileged to refine his psychoanalytic vantage under the direction of Dr. Charles Melman, Dr. Marcel Czermak, and other senior members of the ALI. Foerch graduated with his baccalaureate from Flagler College in 2019, with a focus in English literature and Political Science. There, he organized several years of independent study in Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory with Dr. Wesley King, who teaches Lacan.

Coterminously, Foerch attended lectures delivered by Jean-Michel Vappereau of Topologie en extension and Jacques Siboni of Lutecium, from whom he nurtured a growing interest in topology as a writing of structure, which further defined his trajectory. Unable to remain content dividing theory and practice, Foerch pursued his M.S. in General Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 2025, optimistic to apply his theoretical outlook in a practical way inclusive of helping others. He is currently a PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program at Nova.

Author and lecturer on a diverse body of topics, Foerch hopes to transmit the teachings of Jacques Lacan and Charles Melman, especially those related to the nouvelle économie psychique, to an Anglophone audience.
