Applications For The Sigourney Award-2021 Accepted Now Through June
SEATTLE, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, The Sigourney Trust honors up to four individuals or organizations with The Sigourney Award, an international, independent prize recognizing achievements that make outstanding contributions to the psychoanalytic community. Now through June 30, those whose work may qualify for The Sigourney Award-2021 can apply for this prestigious distinction and substantial cash prize ranging between $25,000 and $40,000.
"Our founder Mary Sigourney sought to reward those expanding psychoanalysis and to celebrate its ability to benefit the public good across the globe," says Barbara Sherland, JD, co-trustee of the wholly independent organization which has presented The Sigourney Award since 1990.
A 2021 applicant's work must be innovative and promote the understanding or evolution of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thinking.
