Marion Van Horn is a retired Faculty Lecturer at McGill University's School of Social Work, where she contributed to social work education and clinical practice instruction. Her career began with a joint Sociology and Anthropology degree from Simon Fraser University, followed by a Special BSW and MSW from McGill. She brings extensive clinical experience in youth protection and family social work, focusing on domestic violence, culturally competent practice with marginalized groups, and the impact of trauma on parenting and child development. Her teaching emphasizes systems theory, family assessment, and the role of the social worker's self as an intervention tool.
Her research interests include attachment theory, intergenerational trauma, and the integration of clinical insights into social work pedagogy. She has explored these themes through her work with families facing poverty-related challenges and through advanced training in couple and family therapy at the ICFP–JGH. While her primary contributions lie in social work education and practice, her listed publications reflect interdisciplinary engagement in neuroscience, particularly in neurobiology, oculomotor systems, and glial cell signaling mechanisms.
Despite her retirement, her legacy continues through her pedagogical innovations and contributions to clinical social work theory. No specific grants or awards are documented in the provided text, though her work reflects sustained engagement with complex social and clinical challenges.
