 | Maggie Scarf |
Journalist and best-selling author Maggie Scarf will be the guest at a Jonathan Edwards College (JE) master's tea on Thursday, Feb. 17.
Scarf will relate her current studies in trauma, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome to returning soldiers from Iraq in the 4 p.m. talk which will take place in the master's house, JE, 70 High St. The talk is free and the public is invited to attend.
A writer in residence at JE and a senior fellow at the Bush Center in Child Development and Social Policy, Scarf is the author of two books for children and five books for adults. These include "Unfinished Business: Pressure Points in the Lives of Women," a book about women and depression, and "Intimate Partners: Patterns in Love and Marriage," a book about couples, both of which were on The New York Times best-sellers list. Her most recent book, "Secrets, Lies, Betrayals: The Body/Mind Connection," has been submitted for the Pulitzer Prize and is a selection of the Book of the Month Club. These books have also appeared in many foreign editions.
Scarf, a frequent contributor to The New Republic, Self and The New York Times Magazine, has made many television appearances, among them "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "The Today Show" and "Primetime Live," and has been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines including People, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Newsweek.
Scarf has been honored with many awards and fellowships for her writing on psychology and family life, including a first prize National Media Award from the American Psychological Foundation; The Connecticut United Nations Award, which cited her as an Outstanding Connecticut Woman; and a Special Certificate of Commendation from the American Psychiatric Association for an article on patient confidentiality titled "Keeping Secrets," which was published in The New York Times Magazine.
