The Department of Clinical Psychology and psychotherapy aims (1) to generate relevant field-specific knowledge through quality scientific research, and during this process (2) to train through education and co-education active important specialists (people who have both advanced knowledge, and the ability to generate it, therefore being prepared for both the present and the future), and (3) to generate innovations that provide people with competitive advantages and well-being. Namely, we aim to train specialists (“complete clinical scientists”), who are excellent researchers, efficient practitioners (“personalized evidence-based”) and inspirational educators/ trainers, allowing them to become involved leaders and critical thinkers in the field and globally. Consistent with these aims, we build on/ develop a profile characterized by rationality, intelligence/ creativity and empathy/ compassion.
