Molly Castelloe's (PhD '05) documentary film "Vamik's Room" received the Gradiva Award for Best Film given by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis.

"Vamik’s Room" is a film about 5-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Vamik Volkan, a psychoanalyst born in Cyprus who has created a new form of international diplomacy based on the emotional life of nations, the historical traumas of a people and their collective efforts of shared mourning.

 “One can see in this film there is a special aura around this man who has managed to see and listen to the worst of humanity and bring faith and love to the saddest situation.”

- Ann Bennett Mix, Founder, American WWII Orphans Network, daughter of Sydney Bennett killed in WWII.
