The Association for Child Psychotherapy (ACP) & Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (APPPS) offer two annual prizes for:
(1) The best research proposals for an evidence-based psychoanalytic case study (2 prizes @ £250)
(2) 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)
Submissions for research proposals should contain a research plan that meets criteria below. Entries that do not meet the criteria will be returned with advice about how to resubmit, if so wished.
To be eligible for the second stage prize (£1,500) the proposal must either have been approved at first stage (it does not have to be a winner) or ensure it meets essential criteria below. If the former, the case study must be completed and accepted for publication within 4 years of initial entry at first stage.
Both competitions are open to all ACP & APPPS members, as this is a Joint Prize. However, we want to encourage others to enter. Therefore, anyone who is not an ACP or APPPS member can pay an entry fee of £40, which entitles them to APPPS membership for 1 year, with access to both Journals. US, European or International practitioners can enter via entry fee. Groups entries are via membership/entry fee. Trainees can enter. (All existing ACP/APPPS members do not need to pay any entry fee.) 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.
The aim is to stimulate practitioner-led research that contributes to building a database of empirical cases testifying about effectiveness of psychoanalytic interventions for application in the NHS. We hope to
