The Frances Testin Memorial Fund

The Frances Tustin Memorial Fund has set itself the goal of encouraging professional activity in the field of psychology and psychoanalysis, influenced by the thinking of Frances Tustin. The fund's purpose is to encourage theoretical and clinical thinking and writing related to early mental states in general and to the autism spectrum in particular. For this purpose, a prize of 1000 dollars will be awarded each year for an outstanding article. Additionally, the fund's income/profits will be invested in the development of enrichment activities and learning (study days and workshops, etc.) intended for mental health professionals engaged in treatment, education and research in early mental states and the autism spectrum in particular. In this way, the fund aims to contribute to advancing the knowledge of mental health professionals treating more severe mental states
