ISTFP Research Award

Among many other initiatives, the International Society for Transference Focused Psychotherapy (ISTFP) shares its commitment to fostering science and acquisition of knowledge with a yearly award: the Research Award from the International Society for Transference Focused Psychotherapy. Publications issued in English during the last two years on personality pathology from an object relation point of view are eligible for nomination and consideration for the award which consists of Euro 1000. This award is meant to recognize rigorous scientific effort on transference-focused psychotherapy and will be presented to the winner during the ISTFP annual conference.

Any member in good standing can nominate a paper (including the author) by emailing the Chair of the Research Committee or Dr. Frank Yeomans. ISTFP encourages authors to nominate their own work.
