心理学哲学博士-临床

心理学系的任务是在与杨百翰大学及其赞助者的价值观和宗旨相称的学术框架内发现，传播和应用心理学原理。临床培训计划的理念遵循科学家-从业者模型。培训的重点是学术和研究能力以及发展强大的临床技能所需的理论和实践经验。杨百翰大学的该计划在理论方法上是折衷的，它借鉴了广泛的理论和方向，试图广泛地接触各种传统的和创新的，经验支持的方法。除了人际关系（包括心理动力和客体关系），家庭系统，以情感为中心，以正念为基础和以同情心为导向的取向之外，认知-行为和行为方法也得到了很好的体现。所有学生都接受成人临床心理学培训的基本核
The Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Brigham Young University is a well-established, nationally visible training program. Our program has enjoyed continuous accreditation1 by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1971. Training focuses on academic, research, and clinical competence. Adhering to the scientist-practitioner training philosophy, our goal is to prepare students with the knowledge and skills to be excellent clinical psychologists, equipped to pursue academic, research, or clinical careers. Students may elect optional Major Areas of Study in (1) Clinical Child, Adolescent, and Family Psychology, (2) Clinical Neuropsychology, or (3) Clinical Health Psychology. Not all students choose to complete a Major Area of Study.<br><br>The program is designed to take five years, with four years of coursework, research, and clinical training, followed by a one-year full-time paid internship at an approved site, generally outside of Utah. The focus is on developing the broad set of competencies expected of clinical psychologists, and program activities are designed to develop those skills.
