My name is Marike Steeman, Chair of the recently established Art Committee.
In the 1990’s, a group of psychoanalytic psychotherapists in the Netherlands were educated in TFP by faculty from the Personality Disorders Institute at the Weill Cornell Medical College under the leadership of Otto Kernberg. Since then I have been a TFP therapist and, in addition, I became a TFP teacher / supervisor and board member of TFP NL (the Netherlands).
After completing a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in my 50’s, I became interested in processes and developments in the works of visual artists. I did N=1 studies on Rothko, Mondrian, and others.
