Div. 24 awards

This award honors a specific body of work by an individual psychologist that demonstrates notable achievement in one or more of the fields to which Theodore Sarbin has contributed, including narrative psychology, contextualist theory, social psychological theories of hypnosis, and other innovative theoretical work that is “critical” in the broad sense of the term. The recipient is selected by a rotating panel of three judges. Each judge serves a three-year term, with the most senior judge each year serving as Chair. Each year, a new judge (to replace the outgoing one) is chosen by the current judges and approved by the President of Division 24.

The division provides a modest amount of fiscal assistance to students who are intending to present at APA's convention in order to help defray some of the costs associated with conference travel. Although not the cost of a typical airfare, it represents the division’s attempt to contribute to and help support student members. To be eligible, students need to be Student Affiliate members of the division and be first authors on a paper or poster presentation that has been accepted for either the APA Convention or Midwinter Meeting programs. This fund is made possible through member donations. Available funds are distributed equally among all qualifying students.
