Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology

Yeshiva University

The clinical program prides itself on the broad scope of its clinical training, including three years of practicum experiences at variety of the New York area’s most prestigious sites, as well as four years of training at the Parnes Clinic, our on-site university clinic. Students also have access to YU's Albert Einstein College of Medicine's extensive network of educational and research facilities. Students are trained comprehensively in both the cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic traditions and have the option of honing their skills in either or both orientations, which is a unique aspect of the training at the clinical program at Ferkauf. A unique aspect of our program is that every assessment, therapy, and research didactic course, across all four academic years, offers an adjunctive weekly, intensive lab. These labs constitute extensive additional training in each area and offer the opportunity to review and apply the knowledge and skills gained in didactic coursework in small groups. Hands-on practice and direct supervision of intakes and assessments are provided in assessment labs. In research labs, students learn and apply basic and advanced research skills and develop their doctoral research projects. Finally, psychotherapy labs include group supervision of therapy sessions conducted at the university clinic and build on the weekly, individual therapy supervisions.
