General Information
The Clinical Psychology area is dedicated to
research and training in clinical science. Unlike many
scientist-practitioner programs, the main training objective at Yale is
to cultivate the development of scholars through exposure to a rich and
multidisciplinary array of research opportunities and to scientific
disciplines within and outside of the field of psychology. Practica
training is offered as part of the doctoral curriculum primarily to
inform scientific inquiry and to help design and evaluate
evidence-based treatments. Our students routinely secure placements at
the most prestigious national internship sites, however the clinical
program at Yale is not a match for students primarily interested in
clinical practice. The program is well suited to students who desire to
begin an independent, structured program of clinical science research
and are likely to emerge as leaders in the study of psychopathology and
its treatment.
The values of the clinical program are reflected in current themes of
our work, including 1) basic science research on psychopathology and
its treatment; 2) integrative science involving methods and theories
from related psychological disciplines; 3) evaluations of the
psychological mechanisms, efficacy, effectiveness, and applications of
psychosocial treatments; 4) applications of scientific inquiry to
prevention and social policy.
Students admitted to the clinical area are expected to develop an
independent line of research under the supervision of our primary
faculty. Research training includes an emphasis on theory, methods,
data analysis, grant writing, and manuscript preparation. Our students
routinely publish in scholarly journals during their graduate training,
and many have successfully obtained external funding to support
research projects. Additional information about the clinical program is
contained in the
Mission
Statement.
The Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training Program is fully accredited
by the Committee on Accreditation of the American
Psychological Association and has been admitted to membership
in The Academy of Psychological Clinical Science.
