The Kristal Award was named for Jan Kristal, a clinician, educator and author who hosted the OTC 17 meeting in 2008 in San Rafael, CA, but who died of cancer shortly afterwards in 2009.
The intention of the Award is to recognize at each OTC meeting a person or persons who, like Jan, has made significant contributions to clinical or practical applications of temperament research.
