Dr. Ivan Goldberg Outstanding Service AwardCongratulations to our 2023 Ivan Goldberg Award Recipient, Dr. Marc Manseau! ![]() NYCPS is pleased to announce Dr. Marc Manseau as the recipient of the 2023 Ivan Goldberg Outstanding Service Award. He was nominated by Dr. Rebecca Capasso who noted in her letter of nomination that Dr. Manseau, much like Dr. Goldberg, “strives with websites, listservs, panels, grand rounds and papers to educate mental health professionals across the country”. Dr. Manseau attended Brown University for his undergraduate studies. He obtained his MD from Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. He completed his psychiatry residency training at NYU. He went on to complete a public psychiatry residency at Columbia University and an MPH at Brown University. During his public psychiatry fellowship, he co-founded an educational advocacy group called Psychiatrists for Gun Violence Prevention. He developed a website to educate psychiatrists about gun violence and suicide prevention by lethal means restriction. Dr. Manseau is currently Clinical Director at the New York State Office of Mental Health, South Beach Psychiatric Center. He has held positions in a variety of settings including OnTRACKNY and as Chief Medical Officer of the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports. He teaches at NYU School of Medicine and has published articles on disparate topics ranging from drug induced psychosis to the equitable distribution of psychiatric care and services in our society. He recently co-edited the book “Struggle and Solidarity: Seven Stories of How Americans fought for their Mental Health Through Legislation”. Dr. Manseau also served as the associate editor for the Journal of Gay and Lesbian Mental Health. He was recently named a Distinguished Fellow of the APA. We applaud the many roles Dr. Manseau has taken on in his career-as clinician, as educator, as public advocate, and as an author. His work on preventing gun violence exemplifies the active role our profession may play in inducing meaningful changes in society. About the Dr. Ivan Goldberg AwardThe New York County Psychiatric Society invites its members to nominate potential candidates for the Dr. Ivan Goldberg Outstanding Service Award.

Dr. Goldberg was the consummate New York City psychiatrist; an expert psychopharmacologist, and a psychotherapist in private practice, who held various academic appointments and was the medical director of the New York City Mood Disorders Support Group. He was a pioneer in disseminating psychiatric knowledge to mental health professionals and to the lay public. He established an encyclopedic website, Depression Central, as well as several renowned psychiatry listservs, which continue to educate mental health professionals worldwide today. Nominees should demonstrate the pioneering spirit of Dr. Goldberg’s work; to make psychiatric knowledge accessible to all. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, who work in any type of setting, clinical or non-clinical, and whether or not they are affiliated with any academic institution.

We define this as broadly as possible to include those with expertise in neuroscience, to those with expertise in psychotherapy. A nominee may be someone who is using the latest technological advances in teaching psychiatry to future physicians, or someone who began a grassroots movement that is changing how society perceives mental illness, or someone working to change the public perception of psychiatry. Our ideal candidate is one whom, in the words of Dr. Goldberg’s favorite author, William Osler, exemplifies the practice of medicine: The Science of Uncertainty NominationsEligibility Requirements Nominees must be a current General Member, Fellow, Distinguished Fellow, or Life Fellow of the APA from one of the New York City District Branches, including the New York County Psychiatric Society, the Bronx District Branch, the Brooklyn Psychiatric Society, or the Queens Psychiatric Society.
