Testimonials

"I experienced Fran Weiss's teaching as enormously helpful to me in formulating more clearly my own clinical work with overweight and character disordered patients. Her store of information, from biological, interpersonal neurobiological, to psychoanalytic, is vast, and was inspirational in helping me to inquire further about these patients. She is an outstanding, generous, and extremely well prepared teacher, which in itself is a rarity; there is no way you won't benefit from your time in a workshop or training with her."

"I have recently attended one of the most interesting workshops ever in my long career.  Fran Weiss' work in the integration of neurobiology and attachment theory as it applies to weight management is developing cutting edge theory that will lead to an exciting new understanding of the mind-body connection,  and most likely to a new way of synthesizing medicine and psychotherapy.  Her half-day workshop provoked a keen interest in learning more,  and thinking about obese patients in my general practice in a new way."
