Key facts: The major aim is not only to transmit existing knowledge, but to develop constructively critical attitudes and creative skills in psychologists who are dedicated to clinical psychology as a scientific profession, so that they will be able to make useful and novel contributions to the solution of problems arising in clinical settings. All functions of clinical psychology are stressed: assessment, treatment, consultation, supervision, and research. Programme Structure The Clinical Program meets these goals by providing instruction in the five core areas of clinical psychology (biological, cognitive-affective, and social bases of behaviour, individual behaviour, and history and systems of psychology), statistical and research methods, and methods of assessment and intervention. Multicultural competence is targeted through inclusion as a topic within each course as well as an independent required course at the PhD level. The Clinical Program meets these goals also by providing in-depth practical experience in assessment and intervention, as well as by requiring directed thesis research, and by providing other collaborative research opportunities. We have been very successful in meeting our goals. Over the past five years, all of our students in clinical psychology have passed their required and elective core courses and their practicum courses.
