Research ends with the completion of an empirical dissertation. Clinical work takes place in collaboration with an approved supervisor. At least fifty percent of these hours must be with families or couples. Students are to be supervised by an approved supervisor at a ratio of one hour of supervision for every five hours of client contact. At least fifty percent of the supervision must include live or taped data.
Students are to receive both individual and group supervision.
The full range of assessment training includes cognitive, personality, projective, and family assessment, with an option for neuropsychology. A clinical comprehensive examination is required. Clinical work culminates in a year-long internship. In order to remain continuously enrolled in the University after all courses are completed, students must enroll in Dissertation Advisement until the dissertation is completed.
