2018 was a remarkable year for our division in at least in two ways. First, with an all-time high of twenty peer-reviewed papers (with a summed-up impact factor of 82.6), four book chapters and one book and several new as well as running grants (summing up to over CHF 3'280'000 since 2011), the division was rather busy in terms of scientific output and productivity. Also, Dr. Cosima Locher and Dr. Helen Koechlin received the Steven-Karger price, PD Dr. Joe Kossowsky sucessfully completed his Habilitation and the head of the division got promoted to Full Professor as well as being assigned as Associate Vice President for Diversity and Sustainablity of the University of Basel. Furthermore, we started two new Certificate of Advanced Studies programs in Animal-Assisted Therapy as well as Motivational Interviewing, accompaning our already running Master of Advanced Studies in Person-Centered Psychotherapy. Second, the division experienced quite some to and fro, with some of us spending considerable time in New Zealand, USA, The Netherlands and Great Britain, while others happily remained in Basel, feeding the chicken and doing everything to keep the ship afloat. In the end, the returning were happy to be back home and the remaining were happy that everyone returned. JG/March 2019
