Max Hamilton memorial prize

Max Hamilton, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C. Psych., D.P.M. (1912-1988) is best known for his assessment of depressive illness through psychometrics. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression is widely used throughout the world, and his 1960 paper on the problem of measuring the severity of depression is probably the most cited medical publication in the second half of the twentieth century. The recipient of the 2023 award will be chosen by an international scientific jury by February 2023. This prize consists of an engraved plaque, travel support, up to three nights at the congress hotel as well as complimentary registration to be presented at the 34th CINP World Congress taking place May 7-10, 2023.
