Alice Lombardo Maher, MD, is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in full-time private practice in NYC. She trained at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Institute now known as PANY. In recent years, she has been working to transfer what she knows about individual dynamics to the world stage, with the goal of developing a theory and methodology to facilitate dialogue across vast human divides. She has a non-profit organization dedicated to this goal. She co-created two mental health documentaries, designed and co-taught an emotional literacy curriculum for middle and high school students, and she is now co-teaching a similar curriculum at a community college. She is developing online dialogue projects, including one with APsA members, under the name Waging Dialogue. Her book, Catalysis: A Recipe to Slow Down or Abort Humankind’s Leap to War, was published in 2018. She is also working on the development of an app to facilitate dialogue between and among people with ideological differences.
