Program Description

The internship program at the University of Oregon Counseling Services subscribes to a practitioner-scholar model; emphasizing mutuality of practice and science, developmental learning, mentoring, multiculturalism, and integration of personal and professional identities. The primary goal of our internship program is to prepare interns for counseling center work although interns will also be prepared for private practice and work in other community agencies. The internship program integrates developing conceptual knowledge, applied skills, and competence in individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, crisis intervention, clinical supervision, multiculturalism, professionalism, consultation, and outreach programming. The training emphasis includes a focus on multiculturalism, process oriented training, clinical skills, and professional identity.The UCS senior clinical staff work from a variety of theoretical orientations including multicultural, feminist, interpersonal, humanistic, DBT, cognitive-behavioral, and ACT. Multicultural theory is interwoven into all of these orientations. The staff also integrates our commitment to multicultural organizational development in our practice, values, interests, and personal identities. Personal and professional integration often involves examining personal characteristics and issues that are relevant to professional effectiveness and success. In keeping with APA Ethical Standard 7.04 (Student Disclosure of Personal Information) as contained in the Revised Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (APA, 2002), it is important that interns know that self-disclosure will be part of the supervisory and training experience during the doctoral internship. Training staff will assist the intern to explore and understand the characteristics and dynamics they bring to interpersonal and professional situations and how these characteristics and dynamics facilitate or hinder effective professional interactions and interventions.
