The Julian Gomez Award

The late Dr. Julian Gomez, President of the Atlanta Psychoanalytic Society from 1983 to 1985, was a treasured Atlanta psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, teacher and supervisor until early 2000. In fond memory of Dr. Gomez and on behalf of his family, the APS and the Atlanta Foundation for Psychoanalysis, in collaboration with the faculty of the Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute, present the Julian Gomez Award every other year to the best original clinical or theoretical paper on psychoanalytic psychotherapy or a psychoanalytic theme by an Emory University Psychiatry Resident. A $500 cash prize is awarded at the biennial spring banquet meeting of the Society, where the winner is invited to present a condensed version of the paper.

In order to be eligible for the Gomez Award, papers should be 20 double-spaced pages or less and should be submitted by March 1 of odd-numbered years (i.e., 2007, 2009) to the Current President of the Atlanta Psychoanalytic Society.
