Applications For The Sigourney Award-2022 Accepted March 1 Through July 31 

SEATTLE, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year The Sigourney Trust honors up to four individuals, groups or organizations with an independent prize, The Sigourney Award. This prestigious international award honors recent outstanding achievements in psychoanalytic work. Winning work earns The Sigourney Award, international recognition, plus a cash prize ranging between $25,000 and $40,000. The application period opens today and closes July 31, 2022.

"Our founder Mary Sigourney sought to reward efforts that were applied, as well as clinical or scholarly. She wanted to recognize work that crossed all human and geographical boundaries as well as professional categories to emphasize how psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thought intersects with academic, humanitarian, and arts-focused fields, and we encourage those whose work meets these criteria to apply," says Robin A. Deutsch, PhD, Analyst Trustee for The Sigourney Trust which was founded in 1989.

To be considered for The Sigourney Award-2022, submitted work must be innovative, promote the understanding or evolution of psychoanalysis and/or psychoanalytic thought and have been accomplished between 2011-2021. To accommodate the international audience submitting work for consideration, qualifying work is submitted through an online application that can be translated into more than 100 languages. Application instructions and requirements for eligibility can be reviewed online. Applications will be accepted through July 31, 2022.

A confidential panel of international judges, each with distinguished roles within the international psychoanalytic community, adhere to the Trust's mission and retain anonymity to support an unbiased and thorough evaluation process. The Sigourney Award-2022 recipients will be announced in November.

"The Sigourney Award has purposefully increased its international reach and evolved as the world has changed. We receive impressive submissions from all over the globe for work dedicated to positively impacting the human experience with traditional and non-traditional psychoanalytic applications," says Barbara Sherland, JD, Attorney Co-trustee.
