After qualifying as a doctor from the University of Buenos Aires, Nasio completed his residency as a psychiatrist at the hospital in Lanús.^[3] In 1969, he emigrated to France where he attended the classes of Jacques Lacan.^[4]

He was a professor at the University of Paris VII Sorbonne for 30 years from 1971^[3] and for three years had a seminar in the école Freudienne de Paris (1977-1980). After its dissolution in 1980, he founded the Séminaires Psychanalytiques de Paris (1986). He received the French Legion of Honour.^[5]

In addition to participating in Lacan's seminars and translating his Écrits^[6] into Spanish, he is the author of 27 books published in French, six of which have been translated into English. Including English, his books have been translated into 14 languages: German, Chinese, Korean, Danish, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, and Turkish.^[7]
