​
The Salvendy Development Award was created in honour of Dr. John Salvendy, the first president of the Canadian Group Psychotherapy Association (1980-1982). Dr. Salvendy was a notable contributor to the group psychotherapy field in Canada and abroad for over four decades, as an expert clinician, educator, and mentor/supervisor. Through this award, the CGPF aims to carry forward Dr. Salvendy's perspective on continuous learning among Canadian practitioners of group psychotherapy.
