Particularly good supervision of young psychologists at the UW/H honoured

Prof. Dr Christina Hunger-Schoppe received the Supervisor Award at this year's conference of the Clinical Psychology Section of the German Psychological Society. This prize has been awarded by the young members of the specialist group since 2012 and honours particularly committed supervisors of doctoral studies. The award is based on an online survey in which doctoral students can nominate and rate their supervisors.

"This is wonderful news for the School of Psychology and Psychotherapy," says a delighted Thomas Ostermann, Head of the Department. "The promotion of young talent is a particularly important area for the department, which we want to strengthen in the long term. The award for Prof Hunger-Schoppe is a great confirmation of this."

The award winner, who was appointed to the Chair of Clinical Psychology III at the UW/H just eight months ago, also feels encouraged by the award: "I also see this award as motivation to further expand patient-orientated research in clinical psychology at the UW/H in order to offer young people the best possible conditions for an academic career." Niels Braus, Prof. Hunger-Schoppe's doctoral student, adds: "Everyone in our team is very pleased that Ms Hunger-Schoppe's outstanding supervision has been honoured in this way. We would like to thank the young members for organising the award ceremony."
