CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE

THROUGH WFP RESEARCH AWARDS

The WFP Research Awards aim to recognize advances in the field of psychotherapy research. Special consideration is given to recognizing cultural dimensions, delivery of psychotherapy, clinical excellence, and training.

The WFP Research Committee, chaired by Prof. Chiara Rafanelli (University of Bologna), accepts nominations for the following three awards:
1. Young researchers at the level of a completed dissertation
2. Mid-career researchers who have already delivered important research beyond the dissertation level
3. Distinguished researchers for lifetime achievements

The categories for nomination rotate every two years.

For information about award application deadlines, please contact the Research Committee Chair, the WFP President, or the WFP Secretary General directly or via our Secretariat: info@wfpsychotherapy.org

Nominations can be made by member associations represented by their officials, by individuals who are members of WFP member organizations, and by individual WFP members.
