This award recognizes promising contributions to psychotherapy, psychology, and the Division of Psychotherapy by a Division 29 member with 7 or fewer years of post-doctoral experience.
This early career award was established as The Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award and first bestowed in 1981. In 2007, the Division raised $50,000 in donations, which endowed this award for administration by the American Psychological Foundation (APF). This award is now named the APF/Division 29 Early Career Award and is administered by APF.
Award recipients receive an honorarium of $2500 from APF. The Division also provides an award plaque to the recipient at its Awards Ceremony at the APA Convention.
