2011/2012: Start

This annual report is written well after its eponymous years, so this is the result of a relaxed look back. The division of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy started in September 2011. Since the time until end of 2012 really was a and one starting period, it seems only fair that the reference period of this report actually covers all of these building months and therefore more than just one year. The start was marked by several projects and goals, which were accomplished due to and with the help of a wonderful team of devoted and skilled (and growing in numbers!) individuals and colleagues. Please see the following pages for details. JG, July 2013
