About the John and Geraldine Weil
Memorial Charitable Foundation, Inc.

John and Gerry Weil were superb clinicians who spent their adult lives helping and healing emotionally troubled children to strengthen their psychological well being. Dr. John Weil was a pioneer in the study and treatment of the emotional effects of physical and sexual abuse of young children. His wife, Dr. Geraldine Rickard Weil was an innovator in the study of child development. Among her many accomplishments in advancing the welfare of children, she created the Tasks of Emotional Development test, which has been widely used in schools for the assessment of children.

The goal of the Weil Memorial Foundation is to continue their legacies in three important ways:

• Giving grants to non-profit agencies that provide direct services such as psychological counseling, shelter and therapy for at-risk children and parents;
• Supporting research which evaluates the effectiveness of treatment for at-risk children (0-6);
• Disseminating information on programmatic approaches and interventions that have proven to help these children.

9:00 am - 1:00 pm

A developmental orientation for psychoanalysis as well as research in early development both provide a background for reviewing results of prevention intervention studies of young children in the U.S. living in circumstances of poverty. The studies, designed primarily to enhance disadvantaged cognitive development, are yielding surprising results in the area of moral development. Discussions of these studies and others will include new frontiers for research, including gene-environment interactions.

The objectives of this half-day conference are:

• To understand the contemporary developmental orientation for psychoanalysis;
• To understand the principles of early moral development based on developmental research;
• To review results of preventative intervention studies of young children living in circumstances of disadvantage and risk;
• To achieve a basis for interpreting the longitudinal results of early preventive interaction studies.
