Counseling, Clinical & School Psychology -- GGSE Graduate Degree Program
| Description |
The Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology's (CNCSP) goal is to train students who are professionally competent in the knowledge of human behavior and empirically based counseling strategies, able to appropriately implement those strategies, and dedicated to research and development of new knowledge for the promotion of human welfare. The Department follows a scientist-practitioner training model and is designed to develop academic and research psychologists who have advanced practitioner knowledge and skills. The three emphases reflect different types of service, including different employment settings and populations served. Counseling psychologists have focused on life-adjustment problems and career development, and work primarily in university counseling centers, Veterans Administration hospitals, and community agencies. Clinical psychologists have traditionally focused on the evaluation and treatment of clients with acute or chronic mental disorders and work in mental health centers, clinics, and psychiatric units of hospitals. School psychologists have focused on the evaluation and treatment of students related to developmental issues and work primarily in K-12 public and private schools.
Please Note: This is Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology in the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. If you are interested in experimental psychology, please apply to the Department of Psychology (http://www.psych.ucsb.edu). |
