Marjorie Schuman

Marjorie Schuman is a clinical psychologist, certified psychoanalyst, and author whose work explores how deep self-inquiry can be used to transform emotional suffering into greater awareness and freedom. Drawing on more than four decades of study and practice in relational psychoanalysis and Buddhist insight (Vipassana) meditation, she developed the integrative approach she calls Inquiring Deeply.

Dr. Schuman's writing invites readers to see problems not simply as obstacles to overcome, but as a self-reflective awareness practice which provides opportunities for self-understanding and psychological growth. She is the author of Mindfulness-Informed Relational Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Inquiring Deeply (2017), Inquiring Deeply: Problems as a Path to Awareness (2023), and the ongoing Inquiring Deeply Newsletter.
