The Association for Child Psychotherapy (ACP) & Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (APP) offer two annual prizes for:
The best research proposals for an evidence-based psychoanalytic case study (2 prizes @ £250)
An evidence-based psychoanalytic case study carried out to a research plan, and accepted for publication in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and/or The Journal of Child Psychotherapy (£1,500)
Competition 1: Case Study Research Proposals
Submissions for research proposals should contain a research plan that meets the criteria below. Entries that do not meet the criteria will be returned with advice about how to re-submit, if so wished.
Competition 2: Evidence-Based (Empirical) Psychoanalytic Case Studies
To be eligible for the 2nd stage prize (£1,500), the proposal must either have been approved at 1st stage (it does not have to be a winner) or ensure it meets essential criteria below. If it is the former, the case study must be completed and accepted for publication within 4 years of initial entry at 1st stage.
Who can enter & how?
Both competitions are open to all ACP & APP members, as this is a Joint Prize. However, we want to encourage others to enter. Therefore, anyone who is not an ACP or APP member can pay an entry fee of £40, which entitles them to APP membership for 1 year, with access to both Journals.

Entries should be submitted at any time to the Prize Chair (therapy@just-therapy-practice.com). Award of prize winners will be announced at the Annual Phil Richardson Memorial Research Lecture.
