Nominator's project description
| Professor Zilcha-Mano is a distinguished clinical psychologist who has made widely recognized and highly innovative contributions to psychotherapy research. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, she combines psychology, neurobiology, AI and clinical theory to study how stable and dynamic elements interact to produce change.
