Dr. Pietro Castelnuovo-Tedesco, a nationally recognized psychoanalyst, was born and raised in Florence, Italy. His father was acclaimed composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco.

As a psychoanalyst, Dr. Castelnuovo-Tedesco was a training and supervising analyst at the St. Louis Psychological Institute as well as the James G. Blakemore Professor of Psychiatry at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He was also the president of the American College of Psychoanalysts, as well as a member and fellow of several other psychiatric associations.
