Clinical Psychology at Queens College

Program in Clinical Psychology at Queens College is APA-accredited and stresses students’ professional and personal development throughout the course of training, with the goal of providing trainees with a broad and general educational experience that prepares graduates for careers as scientist-practitioners in clinical psychology that is enhanced with additional expertise in the role of neural dysfunction in behavioral functioning and psychopathology. We fully endorse and explicitly act on the belief that science informs practice, and practice informs science. The multidisciplinary nature of our highly qualified research/teaching faculty, with expertise in applied clinical science, social science and/or basic and behavioral neuroscience, combined with our on-campus clinic and a network of licensed psychologists in external applied training sites, is uniquely suited to implement our training mission. The core philosophy of “The Program” is based on three broad goals, which focus on:

The scientific and theoretical foundations of clinical psychology. Practical applications of clinical psychology that are informed by scientific principles. The scientific and theoretical foundations of neuroscience in relation to psychopathology and neural dysfunction.
