IFP Awards
The IFP Research Award has the purpose of furthering a broad spectrum of psychotherapy research that is in line with the general goal of IFP. A special weight is given to studies emphasizing cultural issues, psychotherapy delivery, clinical excellence, and training.
The IFP Research Committee, chaired by Prof. Chiara Rafanelli (University of Bologna), accepts nominations for the following three awards:
- Young researchers on the level of a completed dissertation
- Mid-career researchers who have already delivered important research beyond the dissertation level
- Distinguished researchers for lifetime achievements
The categories for nomination rotate every two year.
