International Prize Honors Trailblazing Work Advancing Psychoanalytic Thought and Principles — Cash Award and Global Recognition
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Sigourney Award Trust welcomes applications for The Sigourney Award-2026 from individuals, teams, and organizations worldwide whose work has advanced psychoanalytic thinking and principles. Applications are open through July 31, 2026, for work completed between 2016 and 2025.
The Trust was established in 1989 by psychotherapist and community activist Mary Sigourney with a clear vision: to encourage bold, original, and substantive psychoanalytic contributions that advance psychoanalytic principles and thought across disciplines. Since 1990, the exceptional work of 153 recipients from 22 countries has received international recognition and substantial cash prizes for innovations spanning clinical psychoanalysis, neuroscience, feminism, arts and literature, and a spectrum of socio-political issues.
“The wide-ranging diversity and integrated psychoanalytic principles applied in the work submitted continues to impress our judges. Each body of work positively enhances our world and enhances the lives we lead,” says Robin A. Deutsch, PhD, Analyst Trustee.
The independent award celebrates both traditional and non-traditional applications of psychoanalysis. An anonymous panel of international judges conduct thorough evaluations of all submissions to identify winning work that has influenced others and contributed meaningfully to the evolution, understanding, or impact of psychoanalysis. Recipients earning The Sigourney Award distinction win professional recognition and a monetary reward.
“Our founder wanted to honor accomplishments already achieved and to empower recipients to use the unrestricted prize in whatever way best supports their continued work,” says Attorney Trustee Michael J. Harrington, JD.
