Program Description Provided by the Institution:

The program in clinical psychology is consistent with the Psychology Department’s broad mission to develop psychology conceived as a human, rather than natural, science. That is, our approach is consistent with all those who have been concerned with understanding the meaning, significance, complexity, and depths of experience and behavior, and who honor the sociocultural and historical embeddedness of psychological life. Our research programs emphasize qualitative methods of research which draw upon the same skills as those of the best psychotherapists. Some of the prominent historical figures in our program include psychoanalysts such as Freud, Jung, Lacan, Klein, Kohut, Mitchell and Malan, phenomenological psychologists such as Boss, Craig, and Romanyshyn, and philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Derrida, and Butler.
