Diana Lidofsky, PhD

Director of Psychotherapy in Resident Training

Biography

Dr. Lidofsky is a Clinical Associate Professor and Director of Psychotherapy Training for the residency.  After graduating from Harvard College, Dr. Lidofsky earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Adelphi University’s Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies. She went on to an internship and fellowship in Adult Clinical Psychology at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine before moving to Providence. Although initially psychoanalytically oriented in her training, Dr. Lidofsky’s interest in many different schools of psychotherapy spans the spectrum from behavioral to psychodynamic treatments. Her academic interests focus on understanding the commonalities which characterize different psychotherapeutic modalities. 

Dr. Lidofsky joined the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior over twenty years ago. During that time, she devoted herself to teaching residents about psychotherapy and supervising residents’ work in psychotherapy. Since assuming the position of Director of Psychotherapy Training, Dr. Lidofsky has been instrumental in further developing the psychotherapy curriculum, and in coordinating didactic and supervisory components of the program. She currently teaches the full-year seminar for residents at the PG-3 level on the theory and practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as a full-year seminar in a case conference format for the PG-4 residents. Dr. Lidofsky’s commitment to teaching has been recognized by teaching awards from the residents and the Medical School.

In addition to her role in the Department, Dr. Lidofsky maintains a private practice in Providence and serves on the board of the Rhode Island Association of Psychoanalytic Psychologies.
