Department Summary

Department
The primary goal of the Department of Psychology is to cover the entire field of basic psychological and clinically relevant research. Department faculty group themselves into four major areas: Clinical, Cognitive/Systems Neuroscience, Developmental, and Social-Personality. Our department values interdisciplinary collaboration and embraces the values of open and reproducible science. Further, we embrace basic as well as translational work with the potential for societal impact.

Program
The Clinical Psychology doctoral program has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1958 and is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science. In May 2013, the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System also accredited the clinical program. The program endorses a clinical scientist model for graduate training. This model emphasizes multi-level conceptualizations of psychopathology, comprising neurobiological, developmental, psychosocial, and multicultural perspectives. Doctoral students receive training in infant, child, and adult psychopathology, culture, and diversity, infant, child, family, and adult assessment, and neuropsychology. Support for diverse students and attention to diversity in their clinical training is a priority. Further, students receive training in our in-house Psychology Training Clinic.

Clinic
The University of Oregon Psychology Training Clinic (https://psychology.uoregon.edu/welcome/clinic) is the primary training site for doctoral students in the University of Oregon clinical psychology program. The Clinic provides culturally sensitive and affirming evidence-based services for adults, teens, and children.
