Judy Byck Scholarships 

Welcoming applicants with MSW degrees who have never taken a PCC course

Application deadline: May 1


Judy Byck Scholarships will be given to MSW graduate social workers who have never before taken a course at the PCC. Once approved, Byck Scholars will have the opportunity to attend one course (8 or 16 weeks) with the full cost of tuition waived during the upcoming academic year. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of psychoanalytic psychotherapy!


The Judy Byck Scholarship Fund honors the memory of a remarkably gifted clinical social worker and expresses her intention that clinical social workers new to our organization be given the opportunity to study psychoanalytic concepts and approaches to psychotherapy.

April is National Volunteer Month

PCC was founded by volunteers and could not exist without thousands of volunteer hours each year. Thank you to all, past and present, who have served as committee members, board members, task force members, event planners and helpers, newsletter editors, fundraisers, instructors, referral service participants, and much more! 


There are many opportunities for PCC members to volunteer and make a difference. You can join one of our committees, and we are also currently taking nominations to serve on the Board of Directors.


To learn more, contact Vann Pearsall.

The Holmes Fellowship

The Dorothy E. Holmes Fellowship supports broad and deep psychoanalytic understanding to promote a more just society and relieve personal suffering. Fellowship–supported research projects will advance strategies to ameliorate the psychic burden experienced by those holding oppressed identities, including race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, and/or other identity markers. Applicants are invited to propose projects related to identity, oppression, and/or intersectionality in treatment and supervisory relationships, classrooms, professional groups, academia, or the larger community. 


This Fellowship honors the important work of Dorothy E. Holmes, PhD, national leader on racial equality in American psychoanalysis, and Training and Supervising Analyst with the PCC.


The Holmes Fellowship is made possible thanks to a generous donation from Sandra and Steve Bennett.
