The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist is pleased to announce that we have launched the Hannah Murray Award for tCBT Practitioner Paper of the Year. The award is in memory of Dr Hannah Murray who passed away in 2023 and is a celebration of her life and contribution to the journal. The award is judged by a small panel who are made up of close collaborators of Hannah and Associate Editors of the journal who have assessed all the eligible papers published in tCBT.

The award goes to the lead author of the winning paper, and they will be presented with a certificate to be presented at the next BABCP annual conference and they will be awarded a free place at the conference for the following year.

There is no specific entry for this award as all practitioner papers published within the current year in the journal will be considered.

Previous winners of the award are:
