The APF/Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy Career Award
(Formerly, THE JACK D. KRASNER AWARD)

2024 Recipient: Alice Coyne, PhD

Dr. Alice Coyne is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at American University. Dr. Coyne completed her PhD at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and completed her postdoctoral training at Case Western Reserve University. Broadly speaking, Dr. Coyne’s research program aims to identify and develop ways to capitalize on patient, therapist, and dyadic characteristics and processes that can enhance the effectiveness of mental health care (MHC). More specifically, she studies personalized pathways to therapeutic change through answering the broad questions of how, for whom and in what contexts, and when delivered by whom does psychotherapy work? Across these interrelated foci, Dr. Coyne draws on diverse research designs and methods, including longitudinal process-outcome research, experimental comparative effectiveness trials, meta-analyses, community-based research (with diverse MHC stakeholders), and qualitative studies. She has conducted this work in the context of various treatments (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and prolonged exposure), for a broad range of conditions (e.g., depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder). Across these treatment-patient contexts, Dr. Coyne is keenly interested in bridging the science-practice gap by increasing the effectiveness and precision of therapeutic interventions, including when delivered in routine practice settings that can reach historically underserved and marginalized populations.

2024 Recipient: Maggi Price, PhD

Dr. Maggi A. Price, a licensed psychologist and Assistant Professor at Boston College’s School of Social Work, has distinguished herself in the field of mental health research. With a robust academic and clinical foundation from Boston College, Harvard University, and Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Price dedicates her work to diminishing mental health disparities, especially among marginalized youth such as transgender individuals and youth of Color. Her research is twofold, focusing on both understanding mental health inequities through data analysis and developing interventions to foster mental health equity. This includes examining structural stigma and enhancing support systems for affected communities. Recognized for her impactful work, Dr. Price has received numerous awards and fellowships from prestigious organizations like the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Psychological Association. More information on Dr. Price’s work can be found at her Affirm Lab’s website: www.affirmlab.org.
