2020: Alone together

2020

What a year! Amidst all challenges and troubles, the team stood/sat/zoomed together as if there will be a new tomorrow, dug up some unbeknown resilience to keep the wheels turning (metaphorically and in real) and all in all had all the fun that was ever to be had. This was topped by three (yes, three) laureates for the Inger Salling Prize and the approval of a SNSF Eccellenza grant. Dizzying, really. Besides all that, we again exceeded any previous numbers for publications (45), summed-up impact factor (102.5) and funded projects (overall 13 grants, with 7 running SNF project and career grants). Also, our postgraduate trainings CAS in Animal-Assisted Therapy, CAS in Motivational Interviewing and the MAS in Person-Centered Psychotherapy are now running under full steam, with the new MAS in Process-based Psychotherapy all set to start in 2021. Furthermore, our Center for Psychotherapy again exhibited another all time high and again saw an increase of well over 20% in appointments. Admittedly, this was all rather taxing at times, but always rewarding and worth all our shared efforts. We were often required to work alone, but we always worked together. Oh and yes, wichteln was also part of this... Humbly and at your service, JG/January 2021

Advanced Studies in Psychotherapy

The division is running three postgraduate psychotherapy trainings, which complement our contextual and humanistic understanding of psychological interventions. In 2020, the second cohort of the CAS in Motivational Interviewing was successfully completed and both the CAS in Animal-Assisted Therapy as well as the CAS in Motivational Interviewing started their third and second sold out cohort, respectively. Furthermore, the Master of Advanced Studies in Person-centered Psychotherapy started a new full cohort, thus running three cohorts currently with the new 2021 cohort starting this September. In 2021, we will also start our new Master of Advanced Studies in Process-based Psychotherapy, so stay tuned…

Center for Psychotherapy

The Center for Psychotherapy again outperformed last years numbers in appointments, with a mean number of appointments per month of 202, which constitutes yet another increase of 24% from last year. In 2020, our specialized services for internationals and their families, for students of the University of Basel as well as animal-assisted psychotherapy at the Bäumlihof were highly sought after and we were able to meet demands by increasing the number of psychotherapist as well as consolidating our administrative processes. Furthermore, we offered cost-free corona support services to all members of the University of Basel. The mean numbers of appointments per month for 2020 and since the start of the Center for Psychotherapy are shown in the graph below.
