Through the course of the year, interns provide approximately ten psychological evaluations involving formal testing. The testing involves adults, older adults, children and adolescents. There is diversity in terms of both the questions to be answered and the clientele for whom testing is provided. A psychologist is assigned to provide supervision for each test battery. Treatment is provided for problems such as behavioral and academic difficulties, abuse and neglect, affective disorders, and difficulties related to divorce or family disruption.
Specialized treatment is offered for disruptive behavior disorders and childhood anxiety disorders.
This program benefits the seriously mentally ill by providing a full range of clinical services. An interdisciplinary staff provides assertive case management services. Treatment also includes family members and significant others when clinically indicated. The service utilizes both a traditional AA model and Miller's evidence-based motivational model. Business development and marketing projects give interns a working knowledge of managed care and its effects on the industry.
