Her first book entitled ‘Working with Survivor Siblings in Psychoanalysis’ explores a previously neglected area in the field of psychoanalysis, addressing under-theorized concepts of siblings, disabilities and psychic survivorship and won the 2023 Sandor Ferenczi Award from the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. The Sandor Ferenczi Award is given for the best published work in the realm of psychoanalysis related to trauma and dissociation in adults and/or children and her book is available for purchase here:
