The Sigourney Award Trust honours four global psychoanalysis researchers

Résumé détaillé

The Sigourney Award Trust announced four global recipients for the 2026 Sigourney Award, recognizing research contributions that advance clinical psychoanalytic methodologies and academic studies.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing transformative contributions to psychoanalysis around the world, The Sigourney Award-2026 honors four bodies of work significantly advancing the field. Today, Robin A. Deutsch, PhD, Analyst Co-Trustee of The Sigourney Award Trust, announces this year's award-winning work by Salem Eid Al-Arjani, PhD (Gaza, Palestine); Paula Christian-Kliger, PhD, ABPP (New York, USA); Juan-Eduardo Tesone, MD, PhD (Buenos Aires, Argentina); and the University College London Psychoanalysis Unit (London, UK).

"This year's honored work engages people in new ways, through psychoanalytic methods and meaningful action. It reaches children in a war zone where catastrophe surrounds both patient and healer, addresses the divides of race and difference in business and communities, opens dialogue where silence has long surrounded incest and sexual abuse, and advances interdisciplinary research on contemporary challenges in health, society, and culture. Each body of work shows psychoanalysis doing what it does best: restoring trust, meaning, and human connection," says Deutsch.

Salem Eid Al-Arjani, PhD | Gaza, Palestine Dr. Salem Eid Al-Arjani's cutting-edge work as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and trauma researcher holds a singular place in psychoanalysis. Operating within an active trauma field, Al-Arjani treats children in Gaza, Palestine, who have lost family, homes, or both, while he lives under the same daily threat. From within this reality, he is building a new framework for psychoanalytic treatment of trauma in its most extreme frontiers. He redefines resilience not as recovery after trauma, but as the capacity to imagine, find meaning, and stay connected while danger continues.

Paula Christian-Kliger, PhD, ABPP | New York, USA Dr. Paula Christian-Kliger's extraordinary interdisciplinary work demonstrates the transformative potential of psychoanalytic ideas far beyond the clinic.
