Fernando Ulloa was born in Pigüé on March 1, 1924. He graduated as a doctor from the University of Buenos Aires in 1950, and a few years later began working with Pichon Rivière on the well-known Rosario Experience. He is considered one of the pioneers of the psychology program at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), where he taught until the infamous Night of the Long Batons. In the 1970s, he resumed teaching from the Adult Clinical Psychology Department and introduced the so-called Clinical Assemblies: hundreds of students gathered to reflect, no less: "They themselves were the objects of the clinic; they observed themselves as a community."
