In the News: Dr. Heli Morales, 2020 winner
/El Economista spotlights Dr. Morales’ award-winning work with psychoanalytical listening clinics designed to address the needs and pain of vulnerable, violated girls and women as well as the relatives of the disappeared. His training program, where psychoanalysts are well-prepared with clinical capacity coupled with listening and influencing social spaces previously unreached, is also highlighted.
Dr. Morales’ work and receipt of The Sigourney Award earned a cover story in Mexico’s Reforma and replicated in El Norte, in the state of Neuvo León, Monterrey, which shared his work with millions of readers. The feature highlights Dr. Morales’ belief that human pain does not depend on social class, and shares his dedication to “bringing psychoanalysis closer to underprivileged sectors that could hardly have access to a practice that for a long time has been considered elitist and with a bourgeois attitude.”
