The Masterson Institute

The Masterson Institute evolved from the work of the Masterson Group and James F. Masterson, M.D., its founder and Director. Widespread acceptance of this work led to the establishing in 1977 of The Masterson Institute, a non-profit organization for teaching and research with a faculty personally trained by Dr. Masterson. Its focus was to promote the developmental self and object relations approach to the psychotherapy of the Personality Disorders (Disorders of the Self) to teach that approach and to foster future research. The Institute became an organizational umbrella for teaching activities.

The Institute's first conference was held in 1977 followed by a series of one- and two-day conferences and study groups presented throughout the country. Since then the Institute has presented annual conferences in New York and San Francisco. These conferences and study groups created a demand for more intensive training and resulted in the formation of formal, three-year postgraduate certificate programs in New York (1986) and San Francisco (1988). In addition, a special certificate program was formed in Spokane, Washington in 1987, and a modified training program was instituted in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1987. We are currently in the process of establishing a new training program in Praetoria, South Africa through videoconferencing.

Dr. Masterson

Dr. Masterson pioneered the developmental self and object relations approach to the psychotherapy of the Personality Disorders through clinical research. He is the founding father of The Society of Adolescent Psychiatry and past president of its New York Chapter.

The body of Dr. Masterson's work is represented in the books he has written, many of which have been translated into several languages, including early work in the field of the real self, which represents a breakthrough in treatment of the borderline and narcissistic disorders.

His latest book , "The Personality Disorders Through the Lense of Attachment Theory and Neuroboilogic Developement of the Self," just published by Zeig, Tucker, Theisen, is a choice of the Behavioral Science Book Service (see Club review @ www.behavioralsciencebooks.com). His books are required reading in courses throughout the country. As an international authority on The Personality Disorders, Dr Masterson's articles and papers have been published in leading journals in this country and abroad and his books have been translated into several different languages.

Dr. Masterson maintains a private practice and offers supervision in person or by telephone. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
