Frances J. Bonner, MD, Award
The Frances J. Bonner, MD, award was established in 2010 by the MGH Department of Psychiatry and the MGH Psychiatry Center for Diversity in order to promote diversity and inclusion in the psychiatric community. This annual award recognizes an individual who has overcome adversity and has made significant contributions to the field of mental health and/or the care of minority communities.
The late Frances J. Bonner, MD, was a 50-year veteran of the MGH Psychiatry Department and the first African-American woman physician to train on an MGH service. Dr. Bonner came to MGH in 1949 after completing her neurology training at Boston City Hospital. She started her research career at the MGH with a two-year fellowship from Radcliffe to study hysteria and later conducted neurobiological research at MGH. Dr. Bonner received her psychoanalytic certification at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in 1975 and with others, founded the Psychoanalytic Institute of New England. Dr. Bonner devoted most of her career to clinical practice and supervising residents in individual psychotherapy. She was a pioneer in crossing racial and gender boundaries within medicine.


The Dept. of Psychiatry's Center for Diversity's mission is to promote awareness and understanding of the values of cultural diversity to enhance relationships, tolerance and ability in our community.

The Center focuses on intercultural education, mental health disparities research, and collaborations throughout the hospital and community.
