The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), is pleased to announce that Rachel Seidel, M.D., has won the national AACAP 2007 Norbert and Charlotte Rieger Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award for her paper, "Anna, Leaving for College: Interruption, Separation and Termination in the Psychoanalytic Treatment of an Adolescent Girl With Bulimia." Members of the AACAP Psychotherapy Committee selected Dr. Seidel after a competitive process.

Dr. Seidel is the sixth winner of the AACAP Norbert and Charlotte Rieger Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award, a national prize offered annually for the best published or unpublished paper, written by an AACAP member that addresses the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy in clinical practice and fosters the development, teaching, and practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy within child and adolescent psychiatry.

The paper is a presentation of a psychoanalytic treatment and describes the psychotherapy of a patient living with co-occurring mental illnesses including bulimia, dysthymia and generalized anxiety disorder.

"Rachel Seidel, M.D., depicts with clarity how she and Anna used the therapeutic relationship in its multiple forms," said Rachel Ritvo, M.D., a member of the AACAP's Psychotherapy Committee.

Dr. Seidel will receive $4,500 from AACAP and the Rieger Foundation and will give an Honors Presentation at the AACAP 54th Annual Meeting, which convenes at the Boston Sheraton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts October 23-28, 2007.

Rachel Seidel, M.D., maintains a full-time private practice in child, adolescent and adult psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in the Harvard Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Norbert and Charlotte Rieger Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award is supported by the Norbert and Charlotte Rieger Foundation.
