General Information
The Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology offers graduate programs leading to the M.A.. Ph.D., and Psy.D. degrees in psychology. History The Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology developed from the outreach of the Narramore Christian Foundation. This Foundation, incorporated in 1958, is an evangelical Christian organization devoted to the furtherance and applica tion of the fields of psychology and education. In 1968 the Narramore Christian Foundation received permission from the State of California to grant the M.A. and Ph.D. through the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology. In 1970 the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology was separately incorporated and began its academic program with the first class of students. Rosemead con ferred its first master's degrees in September 1972 and its first doctoral degree in June 1974. Rosemead, California The city of Rosemead is a part of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. It is strategically situated near key freeways which make major attractions of southern California easily accessible. Located in a major population center, abundant opportunities exist for infellectual, cultural, and recreational ac tivities. Among the many places of special interest within easy driving distance are Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Huntington Library, Hollywood Bowl, Dodger Stadium, Anaheim Stadium, Mount Wilson Observatory, and the Los Angeles Music Center.

Accreditation and Approval
Western Association of Schools and Colleges In June 1973 the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Univer sities, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, acted to recognize the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology as a Candidate for Accreditation. "A Recognized Candidate is a fully operative institution which has indicated its in tent to work toward accreditation, has provided evidence of sound planning and of the resources to implement these plans, and appears to have the poten-
10
General Information
tial to attain accreditation within a reasonable time. Recognized Candidacy is not accreditation and does not assure or imply eventual accreditation." State of California, Department of Education The Superintendent of Public Instruction, State of California has issued to Rosemead Graduate School the "Approval to Grant Degrees," pursuant to Education Code Section 29007 (a) (2). Veterans-Title 38, U.S. Code Rosemead has been approved for training of veterans under Title 38, U.S. Code. Objectives The basic uniqueness of the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology is its commitment to the integration of theological and psychological concepts of personality development and functioning. Historically the problems of human adjustment have been handled in isolated fashion by disciplines such as medicine, psychology and religion. The past twenty-five years have, however, seen growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of behavior. One prominent spokesman for this movement is O. H. Mowrer. In his book, The Crisis in Psychiatry and Religion, Mowrer points to the study of personality as a common ground for interdisciplinary contributions. Religion is, of course , deeply concerned with man as a person and personality; and in their shifting perception of man-as-body to man-as-person, psychology and psychiatry find themselves looking again with renewed interest and respect, at religious precept and prac tice. Whatever may be the incompatibility of religion and these secular disciplines in the metaphysical realm, here, in the study of personality in its social and ethical dimensions, is a natural and favorable meeting place. Seeing a need to relate theological concepts to the study of personality, the graduate programs at Rosemead seek to promote this interdisciplinary ap proach within an evangelical Christian environment. Another major objective of the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology is to offer a training program designed to meet the expanding need for professional psychologists. In response to needs for doctoral education with a professional training emphasis, Rosemead has developed a Doctor of
11
Psychology (Psy.D.) program stressing practical experience and supervision in stead of the development of research skills. Students in this program spend most of their last academic year in practicum and elective therapy courses in stead of dissertation research. Rosemead also offers a more traditional Ph.D. program for students con templating academic or research careers. This program focuses on the develop ment of both research and professional skills and culminates with a doctoral dissertation. Rosemead attempts to provide all students with necessary tools for a broad understanding of human behavior including the psychological and theological formulations of the nature of personality functioning. Having this foundation, students can then focus on either the application of psychological facts and theories to the pressing problems of humanity or on the development of new knowledge through research and academic pursuits. The achievement of these objectives requires the following: (1) Knowledge and understanding of the content, theory, and methodological procedures of psychology as a science. (2) A basic grounding in the theological view of man (3) Specialized knowledge of personality development and functioning including healthy as well as pathological methods of adaptation (4) Understanding of overall human functioning as it relates specifically to educational and vocational endeavors (5) Personal sensitivity and effective interpersonal skills (6) Ability to diagnose the effectiveness of therapeutic and intellectual adjustment and utilize appropriate therapeutic techniques to alter maladaptive functioning (7) Competence in the evaluation and/or execution of psychological research (8) Awareness of professional and ethical relationships in appropriate fields of research, theory, and practice Graduate programs are designed to balance formal course instruction with small seminars, case observations, and supervised counseling experience. All Ph.D. students also participate in original research projects. In order to cover the large body of material in psychology, all students com plete the equivalent of four years of full-time study and internship in psy chology. The theological requirements which entail approximately one full year of study are in addition to the psychology requirements. This additional preparation in theology lengthens the program to a minimum of five years of full-time study beyond the bachelor's degree.
12
The Discipline of Counseling Psychology
As a distinct discipline, Counseling Psychology is relatively new. Historically it has emerged from the related fields of psychological measurement, vocational guidance, and personality development. As such it has significant overlap with disciplines such as clinical psychology, educational psychology, counseling and guidance, and personnel psychology. While in actual practice it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the doctoral level counseling psychologist and the doctoral level clinical or educational psychologist some general differences usually do exist. In comparison to the clinical psychologist the counseling psychologist generally places a greater emphasis on the normal personality. His counselees typically do not exhibit as severe personality disturbances as those seen by clinical psychologists. The counseling psychologist also emphasizes normal developmental concerns rather than focusing exclusively on psychopathology and remediation. For example the counseling psychologist typically places greater stress on vocational planning and on environmental assets and family interactions than the clinical psychologist. In comparison to educational psychologists the counseling psychologist generally places lesser emphasis on the educational environment, the diagnosis and remediation of learning disabilities and special education programs. Graduates of doctoral programs in Counseling Psychology find employment in a wide range of settings. Many are employed in college counseling centers with faculty appointments in psychology or education. Others are in public schools, outpatient clinics, private practice, research facilities, and hospitals. With the recent emphasis on community mental health services, counseling psychologists are increasingly involved in community education, inter disciplinary programs, consultant activities, and a variety of related professional roles. Rosemead's doctoral programs in Counseling Psychology are designed to train well rounded graduates who can function in a variety of professional roles including direct counseling services, consultation, and teaching. Approximately seventy-five percent of Rosemead's graduates have taken positions as staff psychologists at outpatient psychological clinics or mental hospitals. The rest have accepted faculty appointments in educational institutions.
13
The Integration of Psychology and Theology
Historically the minister or religious leader has filled a key role in mental health. Before the advent of modern psychological and psychiatric therapies. the great bulk of personal counseling was conducted by religious leaders. With the crystallization of the new discipline of psychology a shift occurred which saw many people turning away from the minister and to the psychologist for counsel. With this phenomenon has come a dichotomy between "religious" and "psychological" counseling. This differentiation has the advantage of en couraging both the minister and the psychologist to function within their area of specialization. Unfortunately, however, men are not split into religious and psychological entities. This bifurcation works against a holistic approach which deals with the total physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of man. As a Christian institution, Rosemead is committed to an effective interface and integration of psychology and theology. Several areas of theology and psy chology are speaking to the same issues. Anthropology is a good example. A concurrent study of concepts like the nature of man, sin, and psychopathology can do much to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of man. What, for example, is the relationship of the biblical concept of sin to the psychological concept of mental illness? And how can biblical teachings on sin and the nature of man be reconciled to psychological concepts like self-esteem and self-acceptance? Similarly the theological concepts of growth known as sanctification need to be put side by side with psychological concepts of growth. Biblical principles like confession (James 5:16). fellowship (Acts 2:42), admonishment (Colossians 3:16), and support (Galatians 6:1-2) need to be related to current psy chotherapeutic concepts. Theological and psychological concepts also merge constructively in the study of religious development and behavior. Research and theoretical findings can do much to clarify the development and functioning of religious values and concepts from infancy through adulthood. Rosemead believes an interdisciplinary study of these and similar issues can serve the dual purpose of providing future psychologists with a holistic view of man and awakening the church to the potentially very significant contributions of psychology to its role of reconciling men to God and leading them to wholeness and personal fulfillment.

Facilities The Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology is housed in the T. J. Reese Education Building, completed in the Winter 1974. This building houses the library, faculty offices, classrooms, and the Clinical Training Center, Rosemead's major on-campus training facility for students. This training facility includes six student therapy offices, two child therapy rooms, and one group therapy room all with audio/visual equipment. Another on-campus training facility available for students is the Rosemead Counseling Service. Staffed by 12 full-time professional personnel, this clinic provides approximately 11,000 hours of psychological services annually. The large case load makes available an abundance of clients for practicum and in ternship experience. In addition to basic therapy offices, the clinic contains facilities for play therapy and group therapy, as well as observation rooms with one-way vision mirrors for training purposes. Local school districts, college counseling centers, community health organizations, private clinics and psychiatric hospitals are also available for practicum and internship experiences. Rosemead does not provide on-campus housing facilities. There are, however, numerous apartments and houses for rent within convenient dis tance of the school.

Admission
As in most graduate programs in psychology, competition for admission is keen and enrollment is limited. In order to be admitted to full graduate stand ing the applicant must comply with the following: (1) Possess a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or uni versity with an average grade of at least "B" for the junior and senior years. (2) Present an undergraduate program including either a major in psy chology or a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit in psychology. This must include at least one course each in General Psychology, Statistical Methods, Abnormal Psychology, Theories of Personality, and Learning. (3) Submit scores on the aptitude tests and the psychology advanced test of the Graduate Record Examination. This test is administered under the auspices of the Educational Testing Service. Information regarding testing dates and locations may be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. (4) Submit results of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. These tests may be taken at most college testing services or from a licensed psychologist in clinic or private practice. (5) Submit five letters of recommendation on forms supplied by the graduate school. Three of these are academic references and two are character references. (6) Appear for a personal interview with the admissions committee or its area representative. Since Rosemead's programs include professional experience, it is important that students possess the personality strengths and character to deal effectively in a variety of interpersonal and professional relationships. Personal as well as academic screening avoids the pitfalls of allowing a student to pur sue a course of study in preparation for a vocation which is poten tially unsuited to his personality. A fee of $35 is due and payable to the Graduate School following notification to have this interview. Registration deadline is February 16. Students may be accepted after February 16, however priority will be given to those who have met this deadline.

A student may only be allowed a combination of two E's and/or two C's; a third C and/or E brings automatic elimination from the program.

Dropping of Courses Courses may be dropped without assignment of a grade during the first four weeks of the semester. A grade of WP or WE will be recorded for classes dropped after this time until the last day that classes meet. Student Loads The normal full-time load for a graduate student is 12 to 15 hours per semester. No student will be allowed to carry over 15 units in any semester and no full-time student may carry less than 9 units until he has been ad mitted to candidacy. Students engaged in outside work must adjust their academic loads in consultation with their faculty advisor.

Personal and Professional Growth Activities
At the heart of an effective training program in Counseling Psychology is the opportunity to develop the personal insights and skills necessary for empathic interaction in a wide range of settings. In order to meet this need, the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology has developed a planned sequence of experiences designed to promote personal growth and competency in in terpersonal relations. Beginning in their first year of study students participate in a variety of ac tivities designed to promote professional awareness and personal growth. Included are observation of varied modes of professional service on and off
28
Personal and Professional Growth Activities
campus, seminars to assess and facilitate interpersonal skills, and a preprac ticum course where the students begin their initial experience in the professional helping role. During the second year all students participate in group didactic therapy. As group members, students personally experience some of the growth producing aspects of group counseling. In addition to group therapy, students begin their formal practicums during the second year. Students are placed in such professional facilities as outpatient clinics, hospitals, college counseling centers, public schools, and community health organizations on the basis of their individual readiness, needs, and interests. These practicum experiences are individually supervised by either Rosemead's full-time faculty or qualified professionals working in the practicum agency. During the third year most students begin their individual didactic therapy. This therapy is designed to give the student first hand experience in the role of a client and is considered an opportunity for both personal growth and for the learning of therapeutic principles and techniques. Between 50 and 200 hours of individual didactic are required. Such issues as timing, choice of therapist, and specific goals are determined by the student in conjunction with his ad visor and the Professional Training Committee. When a student reaches his fourth year most of his time is spent in indepen dent study, electives, and practicum experiences. The step-by-step progression in professional training experiences gives the student personal experiences with a wide range of personalities in both church-related and secular in stitutions. It is intended to provide the necessary experience and preparation to serve as a basis for a full-time internship during the fifth year of doctoral study. The internship is planned as an intensive clinical experience where the stu dent may integrate the varied elements of his preparation in Counseling Psychology into a congruent professional role . For most students the primary internship objective is experience and supervision in ongoing counseling and psychotherapeutic procedures. All internships must be faculty approved in order to insure a high level of professional growth experience for the student. Listed below are the off-campus practicum and internship agencies where Rosemead students received supervised professional experience during the previous academic year. Placement in these agencies is made under the Coor dinator of Professional Training. In addition to these agencies, all students also receive professional experience in either the Rosemead Counseling Service or the Clinical Training Center. Practicum assignments are in accord with the stu dent developmental needs and interests. Internships are obtained by the stu dent consonant with the Internship Guidelines of the School.
