Mission The Rosemead School of Psychology of Biola University, in addition to its undergraduate program, offers graduate work leading toward the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in clinical psychology. Rosemead’s doctoral programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association, 750 First Street NE, Washington DC 20002- 4242, (202) 336-5979. Consistent with the mission of Biola University, both Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs seek to fulfill the following mission: The mission of Rosemead School of Psychology is to produce graduates who can integrate the science and practice of psychology with Christian theology, and who are prepared to meet the psychological needs of the world in general and the Christian community specifically through professional service and scholarship. Training Models in Clinical Psychology In the past 40 years there has been discussion and debate by psychologists over appropriate training models and degrees in clinical psychology. During the 1950s and 1960s, most doctoral training in psychology followed the scientist-practitioner model and culminated in the awarding of the Ph.D. These programs were designed to train scientifically oriented researchers and professionals. During the 1960s and 1970s the need for training programs with stronger professional orientations became apparent. Institutions like the University of Illinois, the California School of Professional Psychology, the University of Denver, Baylor University, Rutgers University and the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology were among the first to offer programs designed explicitly to provide doctoral training following either a practitioner-scholar or scholar- practitioner model of training. Without rejecting the need for training in the basic science areas of psychology, these programs began placing proportionately greater emphasis on the professional aspects of training. After four decades of discussion, debate and innovation, graduate training programs in clinical psychology now cover a broad range of emphases from highly professional to highly scientific. While both programs are designed to produce well-trained and competent practitioners, there is a different emphasis placed on
