 Stella Blackshaw, who received her M.D. from the University of
Manitoba, worked with the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute at the
Wellesley Centers for Women during her sabbatical in March and April.
Blackshaw, a professor of psychiatry and full-time faculty at the
College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, continued her
studies of relational-cultural theory, focusing on its application inhelping patients suffering from borderline personality disorder. Blackshaw also revised and updated “Relational Theory and Key Clinical Applications,” a course for psychiatrists that she developed with Jean Baker Miller and Judith Jordan and which is offered by the American Psychiatric Association. In addition, she explored the development of relational hypotheses on the exploitation of patients by doctors and therapists and on gender differences in the incidence of sexual exploitation. |
