This fellowship was established by the Symonds Foundation, a charitable foundation to promote charitable, educational and scientific activities in general, and specifically, it is dedicated, but not limited to, advancing the study and understanding of gender in psychoanalysis and contemporary culture, including the application of this understanding of the lives of men and women.

The fellowship is designed in keeping with AWP goals of developing leadership in female psychiatrists as well as contributing to the overall mission of improving the personal and professional future roles of women.
