Our department is collaborative by design and intentionally structures classes, practicum experiences, and research activities to support collaboration among peers, rather than competition. The clinical program is committed to the inclusion of marginalized populations and to enhancing diversity within the field of clinical psychology as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"arrow-link\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/psychology\/people\/faculty\/\">Meet our faculty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group triple-bottom-margin is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-areas-of-study-and-training\">Areas of study and training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark\u2019s clinical psychology program aims to provide students with experiences that help develop their proficiency with theory, empirical research, and clinical practice with both adults and children. To achieve this, we provide a strong foundation in general psychology, theory, and research, as well as specialist training in clinical psychology through an integrated series of intensive educational experiences in class, laboratory, and practicum clinical settings within the University and in other agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our program involves 4 years of coursework and practicum experiences. Practicum experiences for students in their second through fourth years of the program include assessment and therapy with adults and children, as well as couple therapy intervention. In addition to learning traditional clinical skills of assessment and therapy, students are encouraged to acquire knowledge suited to a broader range of roles and contexts, such as consultation in schools and other community settings. Most students apply during the fall of the fifth year to go on internship during the sixth year. The fifth year is also typically used to work on and potentially defend the dissertation before going on internship. In the sixth year, students complete their off-campus, APA-approved clinical internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group boxout has-light-yellow-background-color has-background is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12dd3699 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"is-style-intro\">Our expertise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Faculty interests include familial and other factors that place children at risk, men\u2019s mental health, relationship interactions, and disparities in access to mental health care, among other areas.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group boxout has-light-yellow-background-color has-background is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12dd3699 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"is-style-intro\">Our emphasis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We emphasize social and cultural factors and processes within clinical psychology, and strive to support our students in developing their own research focus in a way that allows them to develop independence quickly.
