Earning a doctoral degree in counseling psychology typically requires five to six years of study beyond the bachelorâ€™s degree. This period includes a one-year, full-time, supervised predoctoral internship. Students must complete a PhD dissertation that demonstrates a high standard of scholarship and the ability to conduct independent, original research. Students may enter the program with a bachelorâ€™s or a masterâ€™s degree. The program follows an ecological model of training embedded in the scientist-practitioner tradition. As such, the program trains psychologists to work with individuals, children and families, and groups within their contexts. Students learn to consider human behavior as interactive processes rather than centered in the individual; they learn to use preventive and remedial intervention strategies for behavioral and emotional problems. Students learn evidence-based counseling interventions for assessing and intervening in the many levels of context in which human problems emerge. These include learning culturally sensitive assessment and intervention strategies designed to increase understanding and effect change at the individual, familial, school, and community levels. Students are instructed to critically reflect on the science and practice of psychology and engage in social justice advocacy as core to their training. Students participate in integrated classroom, practicum, and fieldwork activities in research, prevention, and intervention with children and adults, families, groups, and communities. The doctoral program prepares psychologists who can make a significant contribution to the field through scholarly research and professional practice. Training experience may be had at the UO Counseling and Testing Center, Lane Community College Counseling Center, UO Prevention Science Institute, and in community agencies or nonprofit research centers. Graduates are prepared to work as researchers, practitioners, and educators in community mental health centers, research institutions, institutions of higher education, medical settings, managed health-care organizations, community college and university counseling centers, juvenile corrections agencies, human resources departments in business, and career counseling agencies.
