Overview

Didactic training in broad and general psychological principles are coupled with practical, graduated instruction in a range of assessment and intervention modes.

The Clinical Psychology course at Rutgers University takes a pluralistic approach to theoretical orientation, exposing each student to three broad conceptual and treatment orientations, including cognitive and behavioral, psychodynamic, and systems theories. Infused into all educational and training experiences are awareness of, sensitivity to, and consideration of appropriate approaches for individual differences, such as those associated with age, ethnicity, culture, race, religion, language, socioeconomic background, gender, sexual orientation, and national origin.

Aims and Training Approaches

The Clinical PsyD programme aims to provide the student with a solid foundation in clinical practice, grounded in and influenced by evolving scientific psychology, and shaped by the two way interaction between the two in a dynamic social, economic, and service delivery environment.

Our model presumes that training approaches should be influenced by developments in science and in the practice environment. This broad stance can be illustrated by, for example, specialty clinics in which faculty train students in state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatments, built around investigation of mechanisms and processes of change, and in empirically-supported delivery systems. A structural strategy for linking didactic training to community practice is our longstanding practice of appointing community-based psychologists as clinical supervisors, whose presence in the community serves as a conduit by which changing clinical challenges are introduced into training design.
