l officially begin on January 1, 2014 and she will have the benefit of a year’s overlap with the current Editor, Steven Levy, M.D.

In 2003, she received the New York Psychoanalytic Society Heinz Hartmann Award for Outstanding Contributions to Psychoanalysis by a Recent Graduate. In 2006, she gave the first Ernst and Gertrude Ticho Lecture.
