ENDORSEMENTS
Hillel I. Swiller, M.D., F.A.G.P.A., D.L.F.A.P.A.
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Director, Division of Psychotherapy Department of Psychiatry Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NYC
I have known Fran Weiss since 1996 when I first had the opportunity to observe her work at a conference of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. I was so impressed by her that I invited her to join the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She has proven to be an invaluable addition to our faculty. She has made solid contributions as an expert in disorders of eating and in group psychotherapy. She has distinguished herself with her innovative work in the field of body image and its application for psychotherapeutic approaches to obesity. Although her best known work is in this particular area, she also has an extensive background in clinical work in women's health issues as they impact individuals, couples and their families. She has as well an impressive history as an advocate for women's health. Finally, I want to note that she is an excellent teacher who captivates and inspires her students.
