Additional Awards
Prior to the establishment of the Lifetime Achievement Award, the society’s highest recognition was the selection of an individual to deliver the annual lecture at the annual meeting. This year, ISTSS awarded three individuals who had received that past honor with additional Lifetime Achievement Awards in recognition of their lifetime contributions to the field of traumatic stress studies: Mardi J. Horowitz, MD; Robert Jay Lifton, MD; and Beverly Raphael, MD.
Taking first place in the Student Poster Award was Jennifer Greif, University of California, Santa Barbara, for her poster, “Toward Precision in Measuring School Violence Victimization Using IRT.” Honorable mention went to Sari Gold, Temple University, and Daryl Schrock, Fuller Theological Seminary, for their poster entries.
Two recipients were selected for the Student Research Grant. Each was awarded with a $1,000 check for their contributions to the field of traumatic stress:
- Nicole Nugent, for her proposal, “Secondary Prevention of PTSD with Propranolol in Child Trauma Victims: Pilot.”
- Lindsay Smart, for her ISTSS proposal, “Prevalence of Complex PTSD Symptoms in an Outpatient Community Mental Health Center Child and Adolescent Population.”
Each year the winner of the Dart Award for Excellence in Reporting on Victims of Violence is acknowledged at the ISTSS awards ceremony.
