Theodore
Blau Award
The "Theodore H. Blau Early Career Award for Outstanding Contribution to Professional Clinical Psychology" will be given by the Division of Clinical Psychology to a Clinical Psychologist who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession of Clinical Psychology. Outstanding contributions are broadly conceived as promoting the practice of Clinical Psychology through professional service, innovation in service delivery, novel application of applied research methodologies to professional practice, positive impact on health delivery systems, development of creative educational programs for practice, or other novel or creative activities advancing the profession. Given the difficulty of making such contributions very early in one’s career, the award will be given to a person who is within the first 10 years of receiving his or her doctorate. This award is made possible through the sponsorship of Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc. ($1,000 is awarded to the winner), and the American Psychological Foundation (an additional $1000 to the winner).
