Psychiatrists honored for recent paper
Sidney J. Blatt, professor of psychiatry and psychology, and Golan Shahar, assistant professor of psychiatry, recently received an award for outstanding scientific contribution from the Committee on Scientific Activities of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
The award was for their paper, "Psychoanalysis: For What, With Whom and How: A Comparison with Psychotherapy." Blatt and Shahar compared therapeutic outcome in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and found that psychoanalysis contributes to a significantly greater increase in adaptive, benevolent interpersonal schemas.

The meeting will also include the election of auxiliary officers and the board of managers and the presentation of the Toy Closets awards to individuals or companies who have demonstrated special commitment to the auxiliary's Toy Closets program, which provides a new toy to every pediatric patient who is discharged from the Children's Hospital.

The awards were officially presented by high-ranking members of the administration and members of Congress on Sept. 27 at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in Arlington Cemetery.
