Dr. Marian Margulies is coordinator of infant and child development and director of research in the mental health department
at St. Dominic's Family Service Center in the Bronx. She earned her doctorate in developmental psychology from The Ferkauf
Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, and is on the faculty of the Columbia Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant program
in New York for 2007-2008. Dr. Margulies completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Rose Kennedy Center at Albert Einstein
College of Medicine in the area of infant joint attention. She is a graduate of the child and adolescent program at the Westchester
Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and the Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the William
Alanson White Institute in Manhattan. Dr. Margulies is also a research fellow of the Yale Child Study Center having completed
the psychoanalytic research training program there. Marian also serves as affiliated faculty at the YCS Institute of Infant
Mental Health in New Jersey. Dr. Margulies lectures and writes on child development and infant mental health.
The
International Psychoanalytic Association recently awarded Dr. Margulies a grant to enable her to pursue attachment related
research using a videotape feedback intervention with mothers and their infants who reside in foster care. Her study is being
conducted at St. Dominics. Marian's philosophy of parenting is to partner with parents as they navigate the sometimes
turbulent waters of parenting, to accompany them on their journey of discovery of themselves as parents, of their children's
true spirits and of ways to meet in moments, so that the parent-infant and parent-child dance is one of attunement, one that
is mutually choreographed and constantly evolving. Given the challenges of parenting today, Dr. Margulies offers tools to
work through these challenges, empowering parents to discover their own sources of strength and deep knowledge about themselves
and their children.
Dr. Margulies produces and hosts a local access cable show "Conversations with Dr. Marian",
a television show that spotlights topics about parenting and infant and child development. (For sample video clips, go to
"My Cable TV Show" page.) She is currently spearheading and organizing a scientific exchange program between infant
mental health professionals in New York and Latin America. She is fluent in Spanish and Hebrew.
Dr. Marian Margulies
has a private practice specializing in parenting, infants and young children with offices in Larchmont and New York City.
