Description: The presentation “Women’s Lives in Transition: Novelists Amy Bloom and Lisa Gornick In Conversation” provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain insights from two authors who are also psychotherapists. Their conversation offers dynamically rich and complex perspectives on women’s lives across various developmental stages, encompassing themes such as family dynamics, love, work, and mental health. By exploring the intersection of literature and psychology through the lens of these authors’ works, participants can deepen their understanding of women’s experiences over time and across the developmental spectrum, including birth and death, love and loss, work and home, and the complexity of women’s mental health concerns.

Anne Adelman, PhD, will facilitate a conversation between authors/psychotherapists Amy Bloom (In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss, 2022; I’m Right Here, forthcoming Summer 2025) and Lisa Gornick (Ana Turns, 2023). As therapists and authors, they each have unique, dynamically rich and complex perspectives on women’s lives across the developmental spectrum, navigating the pulls of family, love, work, body and mind.
