Assessment Psychology students are exposed to a wide variety of clinical problems and procedures during the second year clinical practicum. While the emphasis is on psychotherapy, assessment is an integral part of the training provided. Brief assessments are conducted with all adult clients, and more comprehensive assessments are conducted with selected clients. Students can select a third year specialty practicum that focuses on personality and neuropsychological assessment. Fourth year community placements at a forensic assessment facility, a medical center, and community mental health centers can further enhance assessment skills. Internship selection provides another opportunity for students to acquire more assessment experience.
