Marjorie Schuman, Ph.D.

Marjorie Schuman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist whose work combines the wisdom of Buddhism and the clinical knowledge of psychoanalysis. The leading edge of her work, which she calls “Inquiring Deeply”, examines how the experience of Self and Other is involved in emotional pain and relational suffering. Marjorie is the author of the acclaimed text, Mindfulness-Informed Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Inquiring Deeply (Routledge Press, 2017). She also writes INQUIRING DEEPLY NEWSLETTER, which publishes probing commentary on meditation and psychotherapy (freely offered and available on her website). Currently, Marjorie is in private practice in Santa Barbara, California. In addition to her writing and clinical work, she teaches workshops and does clinical consultations on Inquiring Deeply and relational mindfulness.
