Dr. Wanyoung Emmanuel Jeremiah Kim-Murphy, also published under the name "Wanyoung Kim", is a clinical psychoanalytic psychotherapist, philosopher, and applied researcher, whose work explores consciousness, subjectivity, and human experience. A Korean-American, multilingual polyglot and certified translator, she is trained in both philosophy and psychology, and holds a PhD in Philosophy from the European Graduate School, an MA in Philosophy from The New School for Social Research, and an MSc in Psychology from Capella University, all earned with high honours or distinction.
Dr. Kim holds over 14+ years of combined experience both within academia as it regards creative publication and research, and corporate enterprise environments. Her private therapeutic work as a clinician and medical health psychotherapist, and also an accredited life and career coach, and spiritual director combines Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis with informational dynamic field theory, phenomenological and philosophical therapy, and contemplative methods drawing from Early Buddhism and Mahayana (including Tibetan and Zen Buddhism), as well as Catholic theology, offering a space of transformative healing and self-understanding for every patient.
Dr. Kim-Murphy offers various professional consultations and services to clients, including spiritual direction, life coaching, and therapy, at her official website, https://drwkim.com. Her doctoral dissertation, Cosmophenomenology: The Alterity and Harmony of Consciousness (2018), proposed an early framework for a physicalist yet post-materialist understanding of consciousness, anticipating directions now explored in theoretical physics and cognitive science. Dr. Kim has edited books for Palgrave, Cambridge, and Bloomsbury publishing houses. She has also published English translations of Alain Badiou's Nietzsche Seminar I, 1992-1993 (which has been cited widely and translated to Serbian), and philosophical essays by Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Blanchot.
