Program Description

The Internship Program consists of assessment, intervention, and other ongoing clinical duties.

Psychological assessment makes up a large portion of the responsibilities of the doctoral Interns. Approximately 40% of Intern training focuses on assessment. The Intern will conduct general psychological assessment, with emphasis on more specialized psychological assessment such as assessment of risk for sexual re-offense and violence re-offense and parental capacity evaluations. Interns can expect to conduct evaluations utilizing psychological testing, behavioral analyses, and clinical interviews.

Approximately 20% of the Intern's time will be spent in psychological interventions. This will generally be in the form of individual psychotherapy for varied presenting problems including, but not limited to, psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, habit disorders, anger management, grief issues, and personality disorders. Interns will also have the opportunity to lead or co-lead group psychotherapy throughout the training year. An Intern may also develop behavior plans for either children with serious emotional disturbances, with developmentally disabled populations, or indirectly with agencies providing services and care to individuals with developmental disabilities. This may include attending team meetings, Individual Program Plan (IPP) meetings, or other meetings relevant to the client.

Approximately 5% of the Intern’s time is spent in various consultative roles. Formal consultation is also supervised and co-attended by a licensed psychologist. Consultation is facilitated within SEHSC to various treatment teams, including but not limited to, IDDT treatment teams, Rural Outreach, HELP, CAFS, and RIS. The role of the Intern during these meetings is to provide diagnostic clarification, program recommendations, and therapeutic direction to multidisciplinary teams within SEHSC. Informal consultation is also an expectation of the Interns and may occur when staff call or drop by the office to discuss a case and request direction.

Approximately 15% of the Intern’s time is spent in individual and group supervision as the program requires each Intern receive four hours of supervision each week, at least two hours of which must come from individual supervision. Approximately 13% of the Intern’s time is spent in didactic learning experiences. The remaining 7% is spent in various administrative responsibilities and time allowed for working on their dissertation.
