The Program in Clinical-Developmental Psychology offers students the
opportunity to integrate developmental and clinical perspectives in
psychology. This interdisciplinary program focuses on both understanding
change processes and facilitating psychological development. The program
is designed to be flexible in the sense that students may choose from
several interdisciplinary areas of study including: (a) the social
development of children and the treatment of socially dysfunctional
youth, (b) sexual development and the treatment of sexual dysfunction
and deviance, (c) adult development and clinical work with adults,
and (d) interpersonal developmental processes and interpersonal approaches
to intervention.
Students in this program fulfill the core academic and practical requirements
for both the APA-accredited clinical program and the developmental
program. Typically, students in this program will have a primary advisor
in one area and a secondary advisor in the other. While the requirements
of this program are particularly demanding, the extra work will benefit
students looking for a graduate education that emphasizes both breadth
and depth, and encourages integrative approaches to the study of psychological
function. Additionally, this program is well suited for students interested
in the application of developmentally informed intervention. Developmental
faculty participating in this program include Drs. Diamond, Berg, Fogel, Gelfand, Hartmann, Pasupathi,
and Wainryb.
Clinical faculty participating in this program include Alexander, Benjamin, Florsheim, Golding, Ingoldsby,
Ozonoff, Strassberg,
and Wiebe.
Interested students are encouraged to check out the webpages of individual
clinical and developmental faculty members.
