Marion Solomon, 1935-2024.

Norton Mental Health is deeply saddened to share news of Dr. Marion Solomon’s recent passing.

Dr. Solomon’s groundbreaking work with the Lifespan Learning Institute was foundational to our Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), and we are honored to have published books like Narcissism and Intimacy, Healing Trauma, Love and War in Intimate Relationships, Countertransference in Couples Therapy, and many others that featured her significant contributions to the field of mental health.

IPNB Series Founding Editor Dr. Dan Siegel’s tribute to Dr. Solomon:

“As a friend, colleague, and co-editor with Marion, there are so many ways, personally and professionally, that her life has had a huge impact on my life. Our whole field was made better because of Marion's insights and visionary ways of approaching education for mental health professionals. She had a knack for knowing what clinicians needed to know but didn't yet learn. Marion has made significant contributions on a number of books in our library of the Norton IPNB series. As her medical director at the Lifespan Learning Institute, I worked closely with Marion and our colleagues to plan the annual UCLA conference which was able to feature many of the IPNB authors. Marion was a delight to work with, a deep listener and empathic companion to her husband, Matt. Her daughter Bonnie, son-in-law, Jan, and her grandchildren and the whole family were a wonderful extended family for many decades. We will all miss Marion deeply.”

To learn more about Dr. Solomon’s life and career, please read her obituary from the Los Angeles Times at legacy.com.

With gratitude,
The Norton Mental Health Team
