Marie T. Hoffman

Welcome to my author page!

I am on the faculty of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and practice as a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst at the Brookhaven Center for Counseling and Development which my husband of 42 years, Lowell Hoffman, and I founded. There, along with our associates, we provide a depth psychotherapy that is sensitive to peoples' spirituality. My husband and I are both graduates of New York University's Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and we also provide training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy through Brookhaven Center.

Over the last decade, sensing the deep lack of dialogue between the disciplines of psychoanalysis and religion, I have published articles on their intersection, focusing on the enrichment these disciplines can bring to each other. In 2006, I had the honor of being named Stephen Mitchell Scholar, and have been a visiting professor at Rosemead School of Psychology and Fuller Theological Seminary as well as a visiting lecturer at Wheaton Graduate School. My husband and I are founders and co-directors of the Society for Exploration of Psychoanalytic Therapies and Theology (www.septt.org), and a psychoanalytic institute (BIPACT) that integrates psychoanalysis and faith. We also initiated a psychoanalytic track for CAPS, the Christian Association for Psychological Studies. I am co-editor of Routledge's Psyche and Soul book series, as well.

It is through my experience of coming to deeply know and love those with whom I have worked, that my books have been birthed. Their destinies and mine became intertwined in the creative works I trust you will read.
