In 1977, she worked with two colleagues to establish a full-time psychiatric service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.[3] The program was one of the first of its kind in cancer treatment, and trained its psychologists to specialize in issues specific to people with cancer.[3]
