1 clini cal p;ychology is designed primarily to train practitioners in professional psy chology. In contrast to the u·aditional sciemist-profe&1ional model of training diat is designed to train researchers or cl inicians ~th su-ong research interests, Rosemead 's docto ral program is designed for sn1dents interested in pur suing careers in applied areas of clinical psychology. While all students receive training in the basic areas of scien tific psychology relevant to the practice of psy chology, the focus of Rosemead's doc toral tlaining is on the development of professional skills and the utilization of theory and research in professional prac tice. Within this focus students may se lect either the Psy.D. or the Ph.D. 0ack. Approximately 75% of Rosemead's stt1- dents are enrolled in the Psy.D. track and 25% in the Ph.D. Except in unusual cir cumstances, students do not change Uacks after admission. Whi le both the Psy.D. and Ph.D. tlack have a common core of basic sci ence and clinica l courses , students selecting Rosemead's Psy. D. track are generally preparing for full- time posi tions as psychologica l prac titi oners. Those choosing Rosemead 's Ph.D. back are interested in combining cli nical work with other psychological compe tencies, such as teaching and research. Although Rosemead's Ph.D. program has more of a research focus than the Psy.D. program, it does not place the p1i ma1y emphasis on die development of research skills to tlie exten t that most sci entist-practitioner Ph.D. programs do. The program does not have the breadth and deptli of research emphases for stu dents who desire to become the type of clinical researchers whose only use of clini cal skill s occur in the context of doi ng research . However, research training in Rosemead's Ph.D. program is mong in a few selected areas of ongoing facu lty research. Thus the Ph.D. Uack is particularly appropriate for st uden ts who desire bodi to develop qual ity clin i cal skills and to develop research ski lls closelyrelated to a faculty member's cur ren tlyactive research program. A master's degree is awarded as a student progresses in his or her doctoral program. Special appli cation for a mas ter's degree must be approved on an individual basis.

OBJECTIVES Introduction
l!.!.,
The Rosemead School of Psychology of Bio la Uni vers ity, in addition to its undergraduate work , offers graduate work leading to the Master ofArts (M.A. ), the Doctor of Psychology (Psy. D. ), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D. ) degrees in cl inical psychology. Rosemead's doc tor-al program is accredited by the Ameri
can Psychological Association. Training Models in Clinical Psychology
In the past 20 years there has been a great deal of discussion and debate by psychologists over appropriate train ing models and degrees in clin ical psy chology. During the 1950s and I960s, most doctoral training in psychology followed the sc ientist professional model and culminated in the awarding of the Ph.D. These programs we re designed to u·ain scientificallyoriented researchers and professionals. During the I960s and 1970s the need for Daining programs 1,~th stronger pro fess ional orientations became apparent. lnstitutions like the University of Ill inois, the California School of Professional Psy chology, die University of Denver, Baylor Un iversity, Rutgers University and the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology were among the fi rst to offer programs designed expli ci tly to provide docto ral training following either a professional (practitioner) or a professional-scientist (pmtitioner-scientist) modelof training. Wi thout rejecting the need fo r training in the basic science areas of psychology, diese programs began plac ing proportionately greater emphasis on die professional aspects of tsaining. After two decades of di scussion, debate and innova tion , gradua te Uaining pro grams in clin ical psychology now cover a broad range of emphases from high ly professional Lo highlyscientific. Rosemead 's doctora l program fol lows a professional-scientist model of u·aining with applicants selecti ng either the Psy.D. or die Ph.D. uack depending on tlieir vocational and Uaining interests.
