Please contact Mary-Joan Gerson (Chair) at mjg5@nyu.edu with questions or suggestions.

Research Committee

The Research Committee encourages and supports couples and family therapy research initiatives, including selecting the recipient of the annual Gerald Stechler Research Award.

The Public Policy Committee tries to link our integrative way of thinking to issues of social and political concern. In this time of domestic and international turmoil, a psychoanalytic/systemic perspective on family dynamics can be crucial, for example on domestic policy issues such as abortion or violence, or in understanding irrational hatred and stereotyping. The Public Policy Committee is charged to promote the application of psychoanalytic and family systemic thinking to current couple/family issues which become salient politically or culturally,  and to serve as an advisory body to the membership and the public in that regard.
