initial opportunity for the student to work with a volunteer college client in a helping role. During the second year, students usually participate in didactic training therapy. As participants, students personally experience some of the growth-producing aspects of interpersonal relationships. In addition, students begin their formal practicum and psychotherapy lab courses in 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 supervised both by Rosemead's faculty and qualified professionals working in the practicum agencies. In the psychotherapy lab courses, students receive both instruction and supervised experience, offering clinical services from the theoretical orientation of the course. Students elect lab courses from offerings such as Emotion Focused Therapy, Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents, Marriage and Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Cognitive/Behavior Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Attachment Theory and Neurofeedback. During the third year most doctoral students take two or three psychotherapy lab courses, work in an adult outpatient practicum setting, and begin individual training 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 learning therapeutic principles and techniques. A minimum of 50 hours of individual training therapy are required. Such issues as timing, choice of therapist and specific goals are determined by students in conjunction with their advisors and the Clinical Training Committee. When doctoral students reach their fourth year, most of their time is spent in electives from the therapy, integration and general psychology courses; advanced practicum assignments; and independent study or research. This step-by-step progression in professional training experiences gives the student personal experience with a wide range of personalities in a variety of settings and provides the necessary preparation for a full-time internship during the fifth year of study. The internship is planned as an intensive clinical experience to help students integrate the varied elements of their preparation in psychology into a congruent professional role. All internships must be faculty approved in order to ensure a high level of professional experience for the student. Placement in practicum agencies is made by the Director of Clinical Training and internships are obtained by the student consonant with the internship guidelines of the school. The faculty is active in helping select and obtain such placements. Christian Activities As members of a Christian university community, Rosemead's faculty believe the relating of one's faith to an academic discipline goes beyond the theoretical and academic. Opportunities for fellowship, dialogue and worship are seen as vital parts of the total educational process. Consequently, all students are expected to participate in Rosemead's weekly chapel. Various opportunities are provided for students to connect with faculty on topics of integration one-on-one or in small group settings. Students are also encouraged to become involved in one of the many local churches in the Southern California area.
