Students are responsible for the intake interview and written summary required for each new client. Psychological testing is sometimes available, when this meets a student's interests and training needs. Students are encouraged to participate in the Center's educational and preventive services. Requests are also received for such services at parishes and other ministerial settings. Students will also have the opportunity of responding to requests for organizational and interpersonal consultation in institutional and community-living settings.
All supervision is provided by clinical psychologists, licensed to practice in Illinois.
One and one half hours of individual supervision and three hours of peer supervision is provided on a weekly basis. Off-site clients are seen at two Roman Catholic parishes and a nearby lower income medical center. These clients may or may not have a spiritual focus. All clients together represent a broad range of ages, ethnic groups, diagnostic categories, and presenting problems. Please send a brief written statement regarding the reasons for your interest in training at Claret.
