Distinguished Psychoanalytic Educators Award

In 1998, IFPE inaugurated the ‘Distinguished Psychoanalytic Educators Award’ for outstanding contributions to psychoanalytic education and recognized several deserving recipients who distinguished themselves in educating candidates of psychoanalysis in clinical and academic settings. Reflecting IFPE’s efforts to represent the broadest possible array of psychoanalytic education (knowledge), the award now recognizes excellence in facilitating communication of psychoanalytic ideas and fostering of psychoanalytic sensibilities.
