Aldo Naouri (22 December 1937 – 18 May 2026) was a French paediatric psychologist and psychoanalyst.[1]

Life and career

Born into a Libyan Jewish family in Benghazi on 22 December 1937, Naouri was the tenth child of his illiterate, widow mother.[2] In 1942, his family was expelled from Libya due to their French citizenship and settled in Orléansville, French Algeria. He began his studies in medicine at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon in 1956.[3] He specialised in pediatric psychology and centered much of his practice around psychoanalysis,[4] particularly towards the end of his career.[5]

Many of Naouri's statements sparked controversy, his stances deemed "reactionary" by Le Point.[6] In 2013, controversy arose from statements made in his book Prendre la vie à pleine main, in which he recounted a time when he advised a new father to rape his wife after she had refused to have sex following childbirth.[7] This statement was connected to another he made in 1998 regarding rape, which Janine Mossuz-Lavau said "totally disqualified" him.[8] He attempted to justify his statement by saying he always condemns rape, including marital rape.[9][10] He also faced criticism regarding his respect for the dignity of children in an open letter written by David Dutartre, a member of the Observatoire de la violence éducative ordinaire.[11]

Naouri died in Paris on 18 May 2026, at the age of 88.[12]
