Judith V. Jordan, Ph.D.
=======================

Director of the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute 
-----------------------------------------------------

In addition to her position at WCW, Judy is an assistant professor of
psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. After graduating phi beta kappa
and magna cum laude from Brown University, she earned her Ph.D. in
clinical psychology at Harvard University where she received
commendation for outstanding academic performance. She was the
director of Psychology Training as well as the director of the Women's
Studies program at McLean Hospital. For the past 20 years she has
worked with her colleagues, the late Jean Baker Miller, the late Irene
Stiver, and Jan Surrey on the development of what has come to be known
as the relational-cultural model of women's development.

Judy co-authored the book Women's Growth in Connection and edited
Women's Growth in Diversity and The Complexity of Connection. She has
published over forty original reports (many as works in progress at
the Stone Center) and twenty-five chapters, and been co-author for
three books. She is the recipient of the Massachusetts Psychology
Association's Career Achievement Award for Outstanding Contributions
to the Advancement of Psychology as a Science and a Profession. She
was also selected as the Mary Margaret Voorhees Distinguished
Professor at the Menninger School of Psychiatry and Mental Health
Science in the Spring of 1999. She received the annual psychiatric
resident's "outstanding teacher of the year" award at McLean Hospital
and is included in Who's Who in America. She was awarded an honorary
Doctor of Humane Letters from New England College (2001) with "utmost
admiration for her contribution to science and the practice of
psychology." Dr. Jordan also received a Special Award from the
Feminist Therapy Institute "in recognition of outstanding
contributions to the development of feminist psychology" (2002). She
is on the editorial board of the Journal of Clinical Psychology: In
Session and the Journal of Creativity and Mental Health. She has
written, lectured, and conducted workshops nationally and
internationally on the subjects of women's psychological development,
gender differences, mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, empathy,
psychotherapy, marginality, diversity, mutuality, courage, competence
and connection, women's sexuality, gender issues in the workplace,
relational practice in the workplace, new models of leadership,
traumatic disconnections, conflict and competition, and a relational
model of self. Judy frequently serves as a resource for the press on
these issues and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show.

Judy has a passion for and strong sense of mission about the work she
does at WCW. She strongly believes the existing structures of
psychology characterized by a separate-self model of development are
destructive to women and to the fabric of community for all people. By
carefully studying women's lives and women's struggles, she hopes to
help create new models of human development which might transform some
of the current distorting impact of competition, hyper-individualism,
racism, sexism, heterosexism, and classism. She feels extremely
fortunate to have many wonderful colleagues at WCW to help create
these new models and new applications. While most of her early work
arose in the context of the practice of psychotherapy, increasingly
she is applying this work to organizations and to making social
change. This work gives her hope and purpose.
