Description
The Division 39 Marsha D. McCary Fund Grant for Psychoanalysis, administered by the American Psychological Foundation (APF), aims to increase public awareness of the benefits and applications of psychoanalytic principles and treatments. The grant supports annual projects that highlight the contributions of psychoanalysis to psychology as a science and profession, with a focus on education, research, and service initiatives. Special consideration is given to early career professionals, students from diverse backgrounds, and therapists working with underserved populations. Projects should clearly communicate the value of psychoanalytic thought to both the psychological community and the public.
