The 临床心理学博士 Program at UMass Boston uses a clinical research apprenticeship model. 每个一年级的研究生都有一名临床教师作为研究导师和研究生的顾问. 欲了解更多信息，请参考我们的摘要 临床心理学博士2024-2025.

(2017年春季修订)

Accredited by the 认可委员会 of the 美国心理学会 since 1993, 澳门新葡新京官方(UMass Boston)的临床心理学项目是基于一个科学家-从业者-活动家的模式. The program prepares clinical psychologists who have an excellent foundation in 心理 science and can translate their basic knowledge into practical applications to meet the mental health needs of children, adolescents, 以及来自不同社会文化群体的成年人. 该计划的毕业生具备必要的技能，通过研究促进对关键人类问题的理解, 学术活动, 临床实践, teaching, 专业的服务, advocacy, and activism.

Our clinical psychology training model is biopsychosocial in its scientific orientation, and places special emphasis on the roles of culture and context in understanding the complexities of multiple dimensions of human behavior and functioning. 这个重点包括, 但不限于, bringing to the study of clinical psychology an understanding of social justice, equity, oppression, 特权和边缘化制度, 程序公正与关系公正, 以及认识论和方法论的边缘化. 这包括致力于培养一支由科学家、医生和活动家组成的多样化的临床心理学家队伍. 学生们在我们的项目中学到的许多技能之一, we aim to develop within them a lifelong commitment to using clinical psychology to serve the general population and to meet the needs of marginalized individuals and communities by being culturally humble and responsive researchers, mentors, clinicians, supervisors, teachers, leaders, advocates, activists, 社区成员. The training in our program results from an affirmative commitment by both faculty and students to engage in ongoing personal reflection and reflection upon the practices in our field—to increase our self-awareness and guide thoughtful 心理 practice and relevant social justice actions.

我们的教育使命是培养科学家-从业者-活动家临床心理学家，他们将:

1. 从事社会科学研究, 批判性学术探究, and educational activities including scholarly analysis that specifically address social and structural inequities affecting psychosocial health and functioning, 包括但不限于基于社会阶层的不平等, race, ethnicity, 性取向, 性别认同, gender, disability, age, language, citizenship, 移民身份, and religion.

3. 担当领导, role models, 变革者在他们的组织内促进社会公正, 心理学专业, 以及其他情况. 我们的目标是培养学生作为倡导者和活动家的能力.
4. Apply their developed awareness of how the field of clinical psychology is socially situated, 批判性地反思我们领域的实践和目的, and understand how it can privilege or marginalize certain identities and lived experiences, 治疗及评估方法, 以及认识论和哲学立场.

为我们的毕业生实现这些长期目标, we have the following 学习目标 for their time within our program. 我们的学习目标与毕业生在研究方面的长期目标一致(1), Practice (2), 和上述行动主义(3). The fourth aim above reflects our overall approach to how we approach all aspects of our training. 它侧重于在工作的各个方面应用批判性社会正义理论的反思性实践. In this way, 它没有与之相关的具体学习目标, 而是作为我们观察研究的镜头, practice, and activism.

临床培训政策声明

计划政策 Related to Trainees Who Experience Conflicts Working with Diverse Clients (Adapted from the Sample APA Policy Recommendations) (see Handbook)

正如我们的项目政策声明所阐述的那样, we are committed to a training process that ensures that graduate students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to work effectively with members of the public who embody intersecting demographics, attitudes, beliefs, and values. In our Counseling Center practica and in the training we provide in our other on- and off-campus practicum courses we are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community. 与这个原则一致, the Counseling Center policy and our policy for on campus practicum experiences require that trainers and trainees do not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, 性别认同, race, ethnicity, culture, 国家的起源, religion, 性取向, disability, or socioeconomic status in the services provided at the training clinic or practicum site.

在某些情况下，由于与客户的信仰或价值观不同，学生可能会感到紧张. 因为学生们在未来的实习生涯中将不得不面对这些类型的临床情况, the program has a responsibility to prepare students to do so in a safe and ethical manner. 该计划将恭敬地与学生一起学习如何有效地与广泛的客户进行实践. Thus, 学生应该期望在培训的某个阶段被分配可能会给他们带来挑战的客户.

如果学员感到不舒服或没有能力为客户提供合格的服务，因为这与学员的信仰或价值观相冲突, it is the trainee's responsibility to bring this issue to the attention of his/her supervisor. 因为客户的福利和安全永远是第一位的, 有关客户分配和重新分配的决定是教师/主管的责任.
