The Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at the University of North
Texas trains psychologist who study, assess, and intervene with
psychological distress. The program is committed to three primary values:
(a) a respect for the individual (the student, the faculty members and the
individual user of our services), (b) a commitment to excellence in
training, and (c) a genuine integration of science and practice. Respect
for the individual within the context of a supportive community is
manifested in the promotion of autonomy, an acknowledgement of our
differences, an appreciation of each other's contributions, and an
acceptance of responsibility. Our commitment to excellence requires that
high standards of research and clinical practice be maintained in a
scientist-practitioner model of training. We believe that excellence (i.e.,
rigorous standards for students and productive careers for faculty) can be
achieved without sacrifice of individuality. In this regard, we have
streamlined the core requirements so that tailored programs of coursework
and research may be pursued.
Incoming students will have an awareness of professional
psychology and, to the extent possible, an experiential basis for choosing
clinical psychology. Admission criteria takes into account students'
experiences in mental health (e.g., their own therapy, volunteer work with
mentally ill or physically disabled persons) and research (e.g.,
assistantships, undergraduate experiments). Although not bound to a formal
mentorship model, we believe that a mentorship climate is highly conducive
to close faculty‑student collaboration and effective modeling of the
scientist‑practitioner paradigm. Students at different stages in
their training are simultaneously mentored by a faculty researcher, and
students at differing levels of training work side-by-side on the same
practicum supervision team. Thus, program students are afforded rich
opportunities to observe, gain experience, and participate within group
mentoring environments. The overall model is geared toward training and
preparing clinical psychologists for diverse professional roles. Via this
integrated scientist‑practitioner model, students can obtain the
training and background to pursue a professional career in either academic
or applied settings.
