The Elina Manghi Memorial
The Memorial was established at the Adler School of Professional Psychology to honor the memory of Elina Manghi, Ph.D., a cherished colleague, and a consummate child and adolescent psychologist. Dr. Manghi was an exemplary clinician, researcher and teacher, whose compassion and generosity deeply touched everyone with whom she worked. The Elina Manghi Memorial Child and Adolescent Psychology Lecture features a leading figure in the field of child and adolescent psychology, whose work exemplifies the qualities and principles Elina espoused and taught.
Dr. Manghi was made aware of this project before her passing, and she and her husband, Dennis McGuire, Ph.D. in Social Work, generously agreed to name the lecture in her honor. The Manghi Memorial Lecture was established through the generosity of David Castro-Blanco, Ph.D., ABPP, Adler School Core Faculty member, and Nancy Tyler, M.D.
The Elina Manghi Memorial Child and Adolescent Psychology Lecture and Scholarship Reception will take place on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 6:00 p.m., at the Adler School for Professional Psychology. Lecturer Mary A. Fristad, Ph.D., ABPP, will be speaking on “Psycholeducation Psychotherapy: A Starting Point Model for Child/Family Therapy”.
