It is also a helping discipline and those who go on to graduate study in clinical, counseling or school psychology, mental health counseling, or social work will be well prepared for graduate education if they enroll as undergraduates in cluster courses relevant to clinical psychology. Graduates of clinical psychology provide continuing and comprehensive mental and behavioral health care for individuals and families; consultation to agencies and communities; training, education and supervision; and research-based practice. The scope of clinical psychology encompasses all ages, multiple diversities and varied systems.<\/p>\n Clinical Psychologists assess and treat mental, emotional and behavioral psychological issues. Undergraduate study of clinical psychology is advised for students who would like to go on to careers in talk, behavioral, and family therapy or in clinical psychology research.<\/p>\n There are a number of faculty members at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ who specialize in clinical psychology. Conducting research with one of them may help undergraduates get an in-depth look at the field of clinical psychology and learn about research. Course credit is available for research through PSYCH 391. The\u00a0ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Psychological Center<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is an on-campus clinic that offers psychological services to the Queens community. ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ houses a doctoral program in clinical psychology and doctoral students provide psychological services at the ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Psychological Center. Volunteering opportunities are available to undergraduates. The SIBS Club in the Psychology Department provides specialized services to children with developmental disabilities and students can apply to participate by enrolling in PSYCH 372. There are also Peer Support Services on campus. Students can apply to become peer counselors.<\/p>\n * indicates courses with experiential\/hands-on learning <\/strong><\/p>\n Essential courses for the area of study are bolded. <\/strong>Not bolded classes are suggested.<\/p>\n Psych 101 General Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 1073\/1 Statistical Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 213W Experimental Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 321 Advanced Experimental: clinical <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 317 Advanced Experimental: Behavioral Analysis<\/p>\n Psych 214 Developmental Psych: infancy and childhood <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 215 Developmental Psych: adolescence<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 217 Developmental Psych: lifespan (only if have not taken 214, 215 or 216)<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 216 Developmental Psych: adulthood and aging (only if you have not taken (only if you have not taken 214, 215, or 217)<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 221 Psychopathology <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 232 Psychology of Personality<\/p>\n Psych 255 Health Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 256 Psychology of Addiction <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 281 Problems in Psychology (as relevant)<\/p>\n Psych 355 Academic Advising Practicum *<\/p>\n Psych 356\u00a0 Academic Advising: Advanced Practicum *<\/p>\n Psych 372 Autism Practicum *<\/p>\n Psych 373 Autism Advanced Practicum *<\/p>\n Psych 391 Special Problems (as relevant)<\/p>\n Psych 323 Psychometrics<\/p>\n Psych 373 Evolutionary Psychology<\/p>\n Psych 341 Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theory <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych\u00a0 347 Clinical Psychology <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 349 Disorders of Childhood and Adolescence<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 352 Psychopharmacology <\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 358 Autism<\/p>\n Psych 359 Developmental Disabilities<\/p>\n Psych 360 Contemporary Psychotherapies<\/strong><\/p>\n Psych 374 Culturally Responsive Family Support Practicum *<\/p>\n Psych 375 Advanced Special topics (as relevant)<\/p>\n After completing the clinical cluster courses, students should consider whether they would like to pursue graduate education in any of the fields related to clinical psychology, including clinical psychology, counseling psychology, mental health counseling, school psychology, marriage and family counseling. It is always a good idea to start planning early on to make sure that your graduate school application is competitive. Most programs require a good grade point average, an essay, and some research and clinical experience.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” text_text_color=”#404040″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.5em” link_font=”||||||||” link_text_color=”#0055aa” link_font_size=”16px” header_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_3_text_color=”#333333″ header_4_font=”Roboto Condensed|300|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#333333″ header_4_font_size=”20px” header_5_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_5_text_color=”#333333″ header_6_font=”|600|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#333333″ custom_margin=”|||-10px|false|false” link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjExMjYwIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Psychology > Undergraduate > Career Advising > Clinical Psychology Overview Applied Behavior Analysis Neuroscience Developmental Psychology Clinical Psychology > Social Psychology \u200b Clinical Psychology Career Advising What is Clinical Psychology?Clinical psychology is a specialty in psychology focused on the study of mental disorder (i.e., psychopathology) and psychological well-being.
