The Fred Pine Ph.D. Award for a Paper Contributing to Psychoanalytic Theory, Technique, or Development

Fred Pine, Ph.D. Award
The Fred Pine Award seeks to honor and express gratitude to Dr. Pine for his career-long mentorship–through half a century as a professor/teacher, head of clinical training programs, and clinical supervisor of a generation of psychoanalytically oriented clinicians and theorists. Upon a notable early background in developmental research, Dr. Pine became first and foremost a clinical theorist. A master of keen observation, he was able to embrace and articulate with uncanny clarity the insights and perspectives differing psychoanalytic frameworks offer to the field, and how human development informs clinical practice.
Eligibility Criteria, Selection Process, and Award
The Fred Pine Award will be given annually to an author of an original paper contributing to psychoanalytic theory, technique, or human development. The Award is intended to pay homage to Dr. Pine by recognizing psychoanalytic scholarship of high quality, with the potential to advance our understanding of the workings of the mind. The paper may address any of a wide range of topics, but should strive to capture the quality, clarity, and innovative thinking that characterized Dr. Pine’s work. Submissions should conform to APA style, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12”, not to exceed 30 pages and must not have been previously published or accepted for publication. The Award includes a $1000 honorarium, the opportunity to present the paper at a scientific meeting in January at the NYPSI, and right of first refusal in submission to JAPA. To apply for the Fred Pine, Ph.D. Award, please submit the paper to: Wendy Olesker, Ph.D. at [email protected]. Papers must be submitted by May 24th of each year.
