Dana Amir ( Hebrew: דנה אמיר; born 1966) is a full professor at Haifa University, clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, poet and literature researcher.
Dana Amir was born and raised in Haifa [1] and attended the Hebrew Reali School. She has B.A. in psychology and philosophy, M.A. in clinical psychology and Ph.D in the philosophy of psychoanalysis. She wrote her PhD thesis on The Lyrical Dimension of Mental Space. All degrees were obtained from Haifa University. [2]
Dana Amir is a clinical psychologist, training and supervising psychoanalyst, at the International Psychoanalytic Association and at the Israel psychoanalytic society. She is a full professor, vice dean for research and head of the interdisciplinary doctoral program in psychoanalysis, department of counseling and human development at Haifa University, and the editor-in-chief of Maarag - the Israel Annual of Psychoanalysis (published by the Hebrew University). [3]
Her research, which received the Israel Science Foundation research grant more than once, focuses on the connection between language and psychopathology. [4] Amir developed several psycho-linguistic concepts which map various pathological dimensions: "Pseudo-Language" versus "Concrete Language", [5] "Psychotic Syntax", [6] "Autistic Syntax", [7] "The Chameleon Language of perversion" [8] and "the inner function of the witness". [9] She is also researching modes of traumatic testimony, [10] and the language of the perpetrator. [11]
Dana Amir published seven poetry books, and her poems were published in various journals in Hebrew as well as in Anthologies in French and Spanish. [3]
Tzipi Non-Gross, Tal Nitzan and Haim Be'er wrote in their argument to award the Nathan Alterman poetry prize to Dana Amir: “Dana Amir’s book is an impressive collection that includes a new poetry division and an essay on poetry inspired by Duineser Elegien by Rilke. The compilation follows the evolution of Amir’s poetry and enable the understanding of this poetry in its metamorphosis: This is a dialogue poetry per se, intimate and exposed. Amir’s poetry is characterized by a combination of sensitivity and wisdom. Its subtle and penetrating glance is crystalized here into pure, divine lyrics, and produces an exquisite and appealing volume, one of the most beautiful ever written in Hebrew”. [12]
