We are hereby presenting you with the very first issue of Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (APP) in the year 2019, which is incidentally also the first one under my editorship. This journal, founded and managed with enthusiasm, energy and effort over the years by late Professor Jerzy Aleksandrowicz, has now been left to us as his great legacy. It is, therefore, our responsibility and expression of respect towards him to ensure that it continues to grow and develop. My noble Colleagues from the Polish Psychiatric Association Publishing-Editorial Committee put forward my candidature to undertake the honor of running the journal. Our mission remains to disseminate the achievements of science in the field of psychiatry, psychotherapy, clinical psychology and other related medical and health sciences. I now commence my editorship with the hope to interest both our readers and scientists, but also to maintain and increase APP’s impact measures.
