The Clinical track within the Psychology doctoral program enables students to obtain intensive training in both research and applied clinical work. When a student enters our program, he/she is assigned to a faculty research mentor to begin learning about research design and methodology in areas of Psychology of interest to the student. This collaboration supports students' development of research questions that lead to thesis and dissertation projects. Faculty supervise students on topics such as Affective and Motivational Processes in Depression, Anxiety Disorders, African-American issues, Eating Disorders, Cognitive Assessment and Therapy, Smoking, Drug Expectancies, Child Clinical Issues, Sports Psychology, and Human Services Program Evaluation. We also equally emphasize clinical training. Beginning in the first semester of the program, students participate in an experiential psychotherapy practicum and receive supervision on their videotaped psychotherapy sessions with clients from the University Counseling Center; in the second and third years of the program, students participate in psychotherapy practica based on the object relations and cognitive behavioral theoretical traditions. The program's psychological assessment sequence also begins in the first year of the program.
