GRADUATE STUDIES
tioners . Those choosing Rosemead's Ph.D. track are interested in combining clinical and teaching activities. Although Rosemead's Ph.D. track has more of a research focus than the PsyD., it does not place the primary emphasis on the development of research skills as most scientist profes.c;ional Ph.D. programs do. Research training in Rosemead's Ph.D. program focuses on human research and is designed to prepare professional psychologists who are critical consumers of research and able to conduct systematic investigations on topics of clinical relevance. Rosemead's Ph.D. students carry out both an M.A. level research project and a research dissertation while PsyD. students may either complete a dissertation or a doctoral research sequence focusing on the utilization of research findings in clinical practice. Students interested in becoming research psychologists with exten sive training in scientific psychology and human and animal research should seek out a more traditional scientist-profes.c;ional model of training. The research focus in both tracks of Rosemead's doctoral program is more on the consumption of research than the generation of new scientific findings. TRAINING AND RESEARCH FACILITIES Rosemead maintains an outpatient psychological service and train ing center on the Biola campus. The clinic offers a wide range of psychological services to adults and children. It also provides on campus training opportunities for students. The clinic is equipped with one-way vision glas.c; for case observation and video-taping facilities. Students also receive supervised clinical experiences at the practicum agencies listed later in this catalog. Computer facilities for research are available on campus utilizing a Hewlett-Packard 3000 with 512K bytes of core memory and 220 megabytes of on-line disk storage and a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX 111780. Students also have acces.c; to the IBM 370/158-3 computer at the University of Southern California with 6,000K bytes of core. 1wo widely used statistical packages are available: the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the Bio-Medical Computer Programs - Series P. Compilers for both Basic and Fortran IV programming languages are also available. Rosemead also maintains research laboratory space for animal and human research. ACADEMIC AND CLINICAL CONSULTANTS As a profes.c;ional school located in a large metropolitan area, Rosemead utilizes the services of a number of persons from the larger professional community in its academic and clinical programs. Wheth er as part-time faculty or as consultants, this roster is multidisciplinary and enables Rosemead to enrich its training programs. Academic and clinical consultants do not serve as advisors to Rosemead students or chairpersons of dissertation committees but they do participate in all other academic activities. The following profes.c;ional persons are either currently or have been recently involved in some aspect of Rosemead's academic or clinical programs: David Cabush, Ph.D. , Michigan State University: Individual Didactic Psychotherapy Christal Daehnert, Ph.D , Rosemead School of Psychology: Clinical Supervision William L.

Rosemead's doctoral program is accredited by the American Psycho logical Association. TRAINING MODELS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY In the past twenty years there has been a great deal of discus.c;ion and debate by psychologists over appropriate training models and degrees in clinical psychology. During the 1950's and 1960's, most doctoral training in psychology followed the scientist professional model and culminated in the awarding of the Ph.D. These programs were designed to train scientifically oriented researchers and professionals. During the 1960's and 1970's the need for training programs with stronger profes.c;ional orientations became apparent. Institutions like the University of Illinois, the California School of Professional Psychol ogy, the University of Denver, Baylor University, Rutgers Un iversity and the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology were among the first to offer programs designed explicitly to provide doctoral training following either a professional (practitioner) or a professional-scientist (practi tioner-scientist) model of training. Without rejecting the need for training in the basic science areas of psychology, these programs began placing proportionately greater em phasis on the profes.c;ional aspects of training. After two decades of discus.c;ion, debate and innovation, graduate training programs in clinical psychology now cover a broad range of emphasis from highly professional to highly scientific. Rosemead's doctoral program follows a professional-scientist model of training with applicants selecting either the Psy.D. or the Ph.D. track depending on their vocational and training interests. DEGREE PROGRAMS Master of Arts Rosemead's M.A. degree is largely designed as a stepping stone for students in the doctoral program. Under exceptional circumstances, however, a student may be admitted to a terminal two-year master's degree in clinical psychology Doctor of Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy Degrees Rosemead's doctoral program in clinical psychology is designed primarily to train practitioners in profes.c;ional psychology. In contrast to the traditional scientist-profes.c;ional model of training that is de signed to train researchers or clinicians with strong research interests, Rosemead's doctoral program is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in applied areas of clinical psychology While all students receive training in the basic areas of scientific psychology relevant to the practice of psychology, the focus of Rosemead's doctoral training is on the development of profes.c;ional skills and the utilization of theory and research in profes.c;ional practice. Within this focus students may select either the Psy.D. or the Ph.D. track. Approximately 75% of Rosemead's students are enrolled in the Psy.D. track and 25% in the Ph.D. Except in unusual circumstances, students do not change tracks after admis.c;ion. While both the Psy.D. and Ph.D. tracks have a common core of basic science and clinical courses, students selecting Rosemead's Psy.D. track are generally preparing for full-time positions as psychological practi-
