Two awards are given, the first to a psychologist who has made a significant contribution to the public interest in the early stages of his/her career, and the second to a senior psychologist. Recipients for 2002 were Phyllis A. Katz and Melba J. T. Vasquez, who shared the senior award, and Brian Smedley, who received the early career award.
