The Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship is given annually by the Section on Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychology of the Canadian Psychological Association. The award is given for the best psychoanalytic book published within the past two years and is juried by a peer review process and awards committee.
History of the award In 1930, Freud was awarded the Goethe Prize of the City of Frankfurt for his literary and recognized scientific achievements. The Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship was named in honour of this event. The Goethe Award was first given by the Section in 2001 and considers any disciplinary or interdisciplinary subject matter in theoretical, clinical, or applied psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychology and is judged on the basis of providing an outstanding contribution to the field.
