THE DIVISION OF PSYCHOANALYTIC EDUCATION, Department of Psychiatry, State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center, is now in its tenth year of teaching and training students in psychoanalysis. In celebration of the anniversary and in honor of Dr. Sandor Lorand, the Founder and Director of the Division of Psychoanalytic Education, a dinner was held on April 4th, 1959, at the Essex House in New York City. Dr. Lorand was one of the pioneers in the establishment of psychoanalytic divisions in medical schools, and has demonstrated that such a faculty devoted to teaching and training psychoanalysts in accordance with the basic concepts of classic freudian psychoanalysis can not only function successfully in a medical school, but can exert a powerfully stimulating effect on the level of teaching and training in the Department of Psychiatry.
To further honor Dr. Lorand, the graduates and senior candidates of the Division of Psychoanalytic Education are establishing an open fund, the proceeds of which are to be used for a yearly award to be known as the Sandor Lorand Essay Award. This prize is to be given to the senior candidate or graduate of the Division of Psychoanalytic Education who, in the judgment of a committee selected by the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, presents the best paper of the year before the Association.
