Overview

The Division 29 Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy Early Career Award, established in 1981 and now administered by the American Psychological Foundation, recognizes promising early career professionals in psychotherapy. Nominees, who must be members of Division 29 and within ten years post-doctorate, are evaluated based on their contributions to psychotherapy theory, practice, and research. A nomination letter from a colleague and a current CV are required, with no self-nominations permitted.

This early career award was established as The Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award and first bestowed in 1981. In 2007, the Division raised $50,000 in donations, which funded this award for administration by the American Psychological Foundation (APF). This award is now named the APF/Division 29 Early Career Award and is administered by APF.
Nomination letter written by a colleague outlining the nominee’s career contributions (self-nominations not acceptable) will be required, along with a current Curriculum Vitae.
