Eve Caligor M.D. is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Director of the Psychotherapy Division at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. Her clinical expertise is in the psychotherapeutic treatment of psychological difficulties that can compromise healthy personality functioning. When relatively mild, such difficulties may lead to problems with intimacy, self-esteem, or effectively pursuing personal goals, and when more severe, may lead to global problems in daily living and personality functioning. With colleagues at the Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Caligor has developed Transference-Focused Psychotherapy – Extended, a model of psychodynamic therapy designed to enhance one’s sense of self and ability to establish and enjoy satisfying relationships with others. Dr. Caligor has published widely on the evaluation and treatment of personality pathology. She is first author of Psychodynamic Therapy for Personality Pathology: Treating Self and Interpersonal Functioning (2018), and Handbook of Dynamic Psychotherapy for Higher Level Personality Pathology (2007), both books published by American Psychiatric Publishing, and she is co-author of the Structured Interview for Personality Organization (STIPO), a semi-structured interview evaluating personality health and impairment within the framework of object relations theory. Dr. Caligor is the recipient of multiple teaching awards, including the Irma Bland Award from the American Psychiatric Association and teacher of the year awards from residents and psychoanalytic candidates at Columbia. She serves as Vice-President of the International Society for Transference-Focused Psychotherapy.
