Universityof Southern Cali forn ia: Individual Didac tic Psyc hotherapy DISTINCTIVES Rosemead's major educational dis tinctives are its strong professional train ing orientation and its goal of relating the data and concepts of psychology to those of Chri stian tl1eology. Since both psyc hology and theology address the human condition, Rosemead's farnlty believes th ere is a grea t deal to be ga ined by an interdisciplinary study of the nature of persons. Consequently, all students take a series of theology courses and integration semi nars designed to study the relationship of psyc hological and tl1eological conceptions of human functioning. This series of courses lengtl1ens Rosemead's doctoral program by approximatelyone year beyond most four-year clinical programs. While recognizing that the di sc i plines of psychology and theology have some very different data and method ologies, tl1eir overlapping content, goals and principles provide a rich resource for interdisciplinary study. Issues grow ing out of these overlapping concerns cover a range of topics relating to research , theory and clinical practice. By encouraging this study Rosemead is attempting to train psychologists witl1 a broad view of human nature that
