Doctor's degree Clinical Psychology - Long Island University - Brooklyn NY

Doctor's degree Clinical Psychology from Long Island University - Brooklyn NY is a Campus Ph.D Clinical Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. Program Philosophy and Goals The philosophy of the Ph.D. program is that a clinical psychologist is a psychologist first, and subsequently a specialist. That philosophy is based on the assumption that all the skills and services a clinician may develop are founded upon, and critically evaluated from, the science of psychology . The training model followed might best be described as a scholar practitioner model. The primary goal of such model is to prepare students to be clinical psychologists who are carefully grounded and competent in the scientific aspects of psychology. To achieve that goal, a variety of clinical courses, seminars and practicum experiences are available to students to develop their knowledge and skills in the areas of psychopathology, assessment and the fundamentals of a variety of intervention techniques. At the same time, students are exposed to the experimental areas in general psychology and are trained in sophisticated statistical procedures, research design and methodology. Coursework in statistics and basic principles of research design are offered in the first year of training. Students are then expected to begin to develop independent research projects, the Second Year Research Project, under close faculty supervision in the Spring semester of the first year. The research projects should be completed no later than the beginning of the third year. Advanced courses in research design are part of the required curriculum in the second year of training. Students also have the opportunity to participate in other faculty research projects as part of the coursework in both the clinical and general/experimental areas.
