This award recognizes promising contributions to psychotherapy, psychology and the Division of Psychotherapy by a Division 29 member with seven or fewer years of postdoctoral 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 $2,500 from APF.
The division also provides an award plaque to the recipient at its Awards Ceremony at the APA Annual Convention.
