GIFRIC (Freudian Interdisciplinary Group for Research and Clinical and Cultural Interventions) received the Hans W. Loewald Memorial Award in recognition of its contribution to psychoanalytic theory, history, and application, most notably concerning the development of the psychoanalytic treatment of psychosis. Normally, this prize honors a single person but the IFPE (International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education) committee decided to recognize GIFRIC as an organization. The prize was awarded at the annual IFPE congress held November 2004 in Chicago.
