Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman’s Title Malady of the Mind Makes the Amazon Best Seller List


“I’m thrilled that Malady of the Mind has made the Amazon Best Seller List,” said Dr. Lieberman. “Along with the great public interest in previous books on schizophrenia like “Hidden Valley Road” and “The Best Minds”, it shows that people are interested in learning more about severe mental illness and the new hope that exists for people suffering from these afflictions.”

Dr. Lieberman’s work has significantly impacted the field of psychiatry and led to improved diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. He is also a passionate advocate for people with schizophrenia and their families and public spokesperson in the media to increase awareness and dispel stigma.

“I hope that Malady of the Mind will improve the public’s understanding of mental illness, reduce the stigma associated with schizophrenia and give people hope for the future,” said Dr. Lieberman. “We have made tremendous progress in understanding and treating this disease, and we are on the cusp of new and even more effective breakthroughs.”

About Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D.

Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman is a leading expert on schizophrenia and has published over 800 articles on the subject. He is also the author of several books, including Essentials of Schizophrenia and Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry, which became the basis for the four-part PBS series, Mysteries of Mental Illness.

Dr. Lieberman is a past president of the American Psychiatric Association and former Director of the Lieber Institute for Brain Development. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and recipient of many awards including the Lieber Prize for Schizophrenia Research from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, the American Psychiatric Association’s Adolf Meyer Award, and the Research Award from the National Alliance of Mental Illness, among others.

About Malady of the Mind: Schizophrenia and the Path to Prevention

In Malady of the Mind, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman interweaves cultural and scientific history with dramatic patient profiles and clinical experiences to impart a revolutionary message of hope: that for the first time in human history, schizophrenia can not just be effectively treated, but even prevented.

Dr. Lieberman traces the history of schizophrenia from its earliest descriptions to the latest scientific advances. He also explores the social and cultural factors that have shaped our understanding of the disease.

Dr. Lieberman’s book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about schizophrenia, its treatment, and its prevention. It is also a powerful message of hope for people with schizophrenia and their families.

78 NYC businesses making a positive difference in their community receive grants


With this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month highlighting the ways in which members of the Latino community contribute to driving prosperity, power, and progress in America, it is noteworthy that the Neighborhood Business Program has prioritized supporting businesses owned by people of color, immigrants, and women since its inception.

To take one example, Libreria Barco de Papel is a local Spanish-language bookstore situated at the heart of Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, Queens, two of New York City’s most diverse communities. Their Minority and Women-Owned business opened in 2003 with the goal of filling a literary and cultural gap in New York.

Support from CitizensNYC is making it possible for owner Paula Ortiz to expand their free cultural programs, including book presentations, children storytelling, discussions, open-mic nights, poetry workshops and literacy workshops. Paula shared that, “Ultimately, our goal is to promote the identity of the Latinx community through increased cultural and artistic activities, with emphasis on literature that embraces diversity and multiple forms of expression.”

Since 2021, Wells Fargo has donated $750,000 to CitizensNYC through the Neighborhood Business Grants program. From Lakou CafI, a Haitian cafI in Weeksville, Brooklyn that emphasizes support for local artists, to Bistro Casa Azul, a small family restaurant in East Harlem that hosts local community events and contributes to food drives, CitizensNYC is proud to partner with inspiring local business owners who do well by doing good.

“Helping small businesses persevere and navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is a major focus for Wells Fargo,” said Krissy Moore, Senior Vice President – Community Relations Northeast Region at Wells Fargo. “That’s why partnering with organizations like CitizensNYC allows us to further our mission and help provide local minority and women-owned small businesses in NYC with the tools and resources they need to be successful. We are proud to support the continuation of the Neighborhood Business Grant program, which will further strengthen the small business sector across all five boroughs.”

“Not only do small businesses play a vital economic role in their neighborhood, they are also part of the fabric of their communities – serving as meeting places where community members make connections, sustain local culture, share values, and support local leaders,” said JosI Dobles, CitizensNYC’s VP of Programs. “We’re truly grateful to Wells Fargo for their continued partnership in funding the small businesses that are such an integral part of NYC.”

About CitizensNYC:

CitizensNYC’s mission is to help New Yorkers – especially those in low-income areas – improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. In 2023, CitizensNYC awarded microgrants to 350 local community groups and small businesses across New York City. Since 1975, CitizensNYC has championed the ways in which local leadership, volunteerism, and equity can build stronger communities.

Women We Admire Announces Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023


Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023. The number of women choosing medicine as a career continues to grow. Back in 1960, women represented a mere 6% of all U.S. physicians. However, in the present day, women now constitute over one-third of the physician workforce, and approximately 47% of residents and fellows, thanks to an increase in the acceptance of women into medical schools. Interestingly, as of 2019, the majority of U.S. medical students are women.

This shift in the medical landscape can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, women have historically been seen as leaders within households, and these leadership skills readily transfer to the medical realm. Furthermore, there is a growing recognition of the significance of diversity within the medical field, with research demonstrating that gender diversity among healthcare providers results in improved patient outcomes. For this year’s award, we have narrowed down some of the top women leaders in medicine, a list that is composed of physicians, doctors, clinicians and educators who are changing the face of medicine through their profession, teachings, and personal lives. We recognize and honor each awardee for their commitment to quality care and advancements within the field.

This year’s prestigious list features several notable honorees, including Connie Savor Price, who serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Denver Health. Price boasts an impressive track record of securing federal funding and has authored over 75 manuscripts and delivered more than 175 lectures on the prevention of healthcare-associated infectious diseases and related subjects. Another deserving recipient of recognition is Catherine Counard, who holds the position of State Medical Officer at the Illinois Department of Public Health, one of the state’s long-standing agencies with an annual budget of approximately $500 million. Lastly, we have Sara Fazio, an award-winning Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023.

Avril Beckford (WellStar Health System), Mariam Bekhit (Healthy Minds), Connie Price (Denver Health), Luxme Hariharan (Dayton Children’s Hospital), Daniela Ferrara (Genentech), Stephanie Coyne (Veterans Administration), Heather Sojourner (WellBe Senior Medical), Aenor Sawyer (UCSF), Samira Ummat (Longevity Medical Clinic & Bellamedica), Nieca Goldberg (Atria New York City), Luti Kashimawo (Ochsner Health), Sulin Chung (Envision Healthcare), Sacsha T.M. Sanders (Vikor Scientific™), Alexandra Goetjen (New Hanover Regional Medical Center), Diana Chavkin (Pacific Fertility Center Los Angeles), Kenna Stephenson (Northern Arizona VAHCS), Jamie Engel (Parkview Medical Center), Haley Parker (Virginia University of Integrative Medicine), Heather M. Prendergast (College of Medicine), Ilkcan Cokgor (MarinHealth), Deborah Gilboa (Ask Doctor G), Aarti Singla (Beacon Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine), Allyson Shrikhande (Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine), Rohini Bogineni (Doctors Medical Center of Modesto), Christie-Michele Hogue (Mouth Mirrors), Kara Hartl (Troy Medical), Alexis Anvekar (The Leela Integrative Medicine Center), Melissa Rosenhan (Schweiger Dermatology Group), and many others.
