Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Clinical Psychology] From Suffolk University

The PhD in Clinical Psychology program seeks to prepare students to be competent clinical psychologists who function with ethical and cultural awareness in academic, research, clinical, or community settings. Suffolk students are taught the processes underlying adaptation and maladaptation within a cultural and biopsychosocial frame. Throughout all aspects of training, the program encourages an awareness of and respect for diversity.

The faculty approach intervention and psychotherapy from a variety of perspectives, including developmental, psychodynamic, systemic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and integrative/eclectic. Our intent is to enable students to take a creative, empirical, and ethical approach to diagnostic and therapeutic problems among diverse populations..
