“I Thought I Knew Myself” with Dr. Marianne Goldsmith

Dr. Marianne Goldsmith is a distinguished psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose career has been devoted to supporting the emotional and mental well-being of individuals and families. She began her lifelong commitment to young people as a pediatrician in the National Health Service. A longtime member of both the Unitarian Universalist and Martha’s Vineyard communities, she was also deeply connected to the academic and public-service work of her late husband, Professor Bill Goldsmith, with whom she shared more than fifty years of marriage. Together they raised three children and created a home rooted in compassion, learning, and service.
