Teichner Award

Victor J. Teichner Award

The AAPDP and the AADPRT are pleased to announce the Victor J. Teichner Award to promote the teaching of psychodynamic principles to psychiatrists-in-training.

Victor J. Teichner, a former President of the AAPDP, was a respected psychiatrist/psychoanalyst who died at the age of 56. The award was created in his name as the result of a donation from a grateful patient.  She wishes to ensure that Dr. Teichner’s creative psychodynamic approach will be part of the learning of the next generation of psychiatric clinicians.  She honors his extraordinary dedication to his patients by funding the Visiting Scholars Award in his name.

The Award is made annually to one psychiatric residency program on the basis of an application to the Award Committee, composed of representatives of the AAPDP and the AADPRT.

The Program Awardee will receive a 1-3 day visit from a Visiting Scholar chosen from a list maintained by the AAPDP.  Choice of Visiting Scholar and structure of the visit are made by the Program.  Visit must take place during the academic year beginning July 1 after the announcement of the Awardee.
