During the final year of study, students participate weekly in a practice class, clinical field placement, and supervision session. In the classroom, students discuss and practice the clinical application of psychological theories to clients seen in their field placement. Students receive feedback from instructors and other students in response to role playing and audio/videotaped client sessions. In the clinical placement, students develop their skills through direct treatment of individuals, couples, families, and children. In the individual/group supervision session, students discuss their clinical placement caseload with their on-site supervisor. These courses represent the classroom portion of students' clinical experience. The clinical placement begins after a student has completed 12 semester units, but no later than the first week of the final year of study. All application and approval forms for a clinical placement must be filed with the Department of Graduate Psychology no later than 30 days prior to the first week of the student's involvement in a clinical field placement. Students must obtain an approved clinical placement as a prerequisite to registering for Clinical Placement I, II. Student violations of professional ethics codes are sufficient grounds for dismissal from the program. Prerequisites: PPSY 512, PPSY 580, PPSY 581, and PPSY 582 (Master of Science in Nursing students should consult the School of Nursing for separate prerequisites.)
