congratulations, mama!!

i am very proud of my mom, mary, who is the first recipient of the annual phyllis w. meadow award for excellence in shrinkage the field of psychoanalysis (or something like that, although i don't have the official title).

phyllis w. meadow was a pioneer in the public acceptance of psychoanalysis as an independent profession, and she profoundly increased understanding of the subject in the u.s. and abroad.

mom was presented with her award yesterday in manhattan at phyllis meadow's center for modern psychoanalytic studies, and here are photos from the event!
