Patient spirituality and the research concerning mental health has been gaining increasing attention in recent years in published studies, trade journal articles such as Psychiatric Times and Psychiatric Annals, and by presentations made at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The award program encourages the implementation of residency training programs that explore the relationship of spirituality to health and mental health in particular. Since 1997 when the program was founded, sixteen residency programs have received this award * thirteen in adult psychiatry and three in child and adolescent psychiatry.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>John Templeton Spirituality and Medicine Award for Primary Care Residency Training Programs</B></div> <div> In this first year of the Primary Care Awards, the year 2000, 39 applications were received which was more than were received in any previous year for the other award programs.
