Our internship is designed to provide wide graduate students in clinical psychology with well-rounded, intensively supervised training in clinical psychology in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We are defended to providing quality psychological services to a demographically and diagnostically diverse patient population in a public medical center. We believe psychological practice must be based on the science of psychology. Therefore, we train interns to work as practitioners informed by research and scholarly work. Our goal is to train competent and constructive generalist clinicians, who may moreover obtain specialty training during the year. We encourage interns to think and work from divergent theoretical perspectives, and provide supervision from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and integrative orientations. Our interns have a cadre wits of intensively supervised psychotherapy and psychological towage experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Interns train in inpatient and outpatient settings, work with diverse patient populations, and use a variety of treatment modalities. The various modalities include outpatient individual and group psychotherapy; diagnostic interviewing and slipperiness intervention; milieu, group, and time-limited individual treatment on acute-care inpatient psychiatric units; and diagnostic assessment, psychological consultation, and psychotherapy in medical settings. We believe optimal learning is achieved in an undercurrent of professionalism and respect, where interns are regarded first as professionals in training and secondly as service providers.

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science is among the most zippy providers of comprehensive mental health services on Long Island.

Interns are involved in rotations on the sultana and child psychiatric units. Interns may moreover select a rotation on the “Consultation and Liaison Service,” a team responding to the mental health needs of patients who have been admitted to services throughout the medical center. Additionally, elective “mini-rotations” are misogynist for spare wits in neuropsychological towage and in the psychiatric emergency room. All interns siphon outpatient cases in the sultana and child outpatient clinics, which are located proximal to each other on campus. This wits includes outpatient diagnostic interviewing and individual, family and group psychotherapy. Psychodiagnostic and neuropsychodiagnostic assessments take place both in outpatient and inpatient settings. Interns have secretarial support, wangle to word processors, and access to the Internet and email. In wing to the Clinical Psychology Internship, the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science has a fully accredited four-year Residency Training Program inUnstipulatedPsychiatry.
