CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS

The NCSPP Board invites current graduate students and pre-licensed clinicians to submit original papers to be considered for our Annual Student Paper Award. The winning author will be published in the NCSPP journal, fort da, and receive an award of $250.

We invite papers that contain original thinking and creatively address topics from a psychoanalytic perspective. They may be theoretical or clinical, and should make use of psychoanalytic concepts to further the author's argument. The integration of psychoanalytic theory with clinical material should extend beyond case reporting to include theoretical or technical hypotheses. Papers will be judged on psychoanalytic content, writing ability and style, integration of theoretical concepts, and original thinking.

The deadline for submitting papers is Monday, October 29, 2018. Papers should be double-spaced typed, not exceeding 25 pages. For the purpose of anonymous review, the paper itself should only include a title heading. In a separate document, the author should submit a cover letter, including the paper's title and the author's name, address, telephone number, email, and a brief bio. Authors should email the two documents to Loong Kwok at drloongkwok@gmail.com.
