About Violet Solomon Oaklander Foundation
The Violet Solomon Oaklander Foundation is a non-profit corporation created to further the work of Dr. Violet Oaklander, eminent child and adolescent psychotherapist, trainer, and author of 'Windows to Our Children', a seminal text now published in 12 languages. The Foundation brings together dedicated mental health professionals who are preserving, extending and supporting Dr. Oaklander's Gestalt-based therapeutic work with children and adolescents, as well as continuing her training work with adults.
The Birth of a Foundation
In October 2003 approximately 20 of Violet's family members and long-time colleagues met in Santa Barbara to discuss various ways of carrying on Violet's work after she retires. All of the founding members of the Foundation have been deeply touched by Violet's work and are dedicated to ensuring its longevity.
Our Vision
The founding members are working with Violet to launch the VSOF Website, develop training materials and programs, establish a speakers' bureau, publish a quarterly electronic newsletter for Friends of the Foundation members, create an archive library, sponsor VSOF conferences, and much, much more.
