Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) and Division 39 sponsor this annual grant to increase public awareness of the benefits of psychoanalytic principles and treatments. Named for the fund’s founder, Marsha D. McCary, it supports education, research, and service programs that demonstrate the applicability of psychoanalytic thought to clinical, organizational, and social problems.
The fund seeks to recognize psychoanalysis’s contributions to psychology as a science and profession while keeping the psychological community and the public informed about developments in psychoanalytic scholarship, research, and practice. It emphasizes populations needing support, including early career professionals, students from diverse backgrounds, and therapists working with underserved populations.
