Ringkasan program

The primary and overarching goal of the doctoral training program is to prepare students to be competent professionals in clinical psychology. The program‘s orientation is that of understanding of the processes underlying adaptation and maladaptation within a cultural frame. Throughout all aspects of training the program encourages an awareness of and respect for diversity of culture, language, national origin, race, gender, age, disability, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, lifestyle, and other individual differences. The graduate psychology program at Suffolk University offers a neuropsychology concentration within its APA-accredited doctoral program in clinical psychology. The neuropsychology concentration is in compliance with the Houston conference guidelines for training students in neuropsychology. It is also meant to fulfill eventual coursework requirements for board certification in clinical neuropsychology.
