The 2016 Gradiva Award Nominees

The awards were inspired by Freud's essay "Delusions and Dreams in Jensen's Gradiva (1907(1905)), in which he stated, "Creative writers are valuable allies and their evidence is to be prized highly, for they are apt to know a whole host of things between heaven and earth of which our philosophy has not yet let us dream ... they draw upon sources which we have not yet opened up for science."

Recalling Freud's words, National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP) established the Gradiva® Awards to honor our "valuable allies," including poets, artists, producers, directors, publishers, etc., who have created works that advance psychoanalysis.

The 2017 Gradiva Awards

The annual Gradiva® Awards for the best published, produced, or publicly exhibited works that advance psychoanalysis are presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis at a special awards ceremony during our annual conference each fall in NYC.

Each winner receives a handsome brass plaque etched with the image of Gradiva, which is based on a Pompeiian relief similar to one that hung in Freud’s office. An additional award that includes a $500 scholarship is given to the best student paper that has not been previously published.
