PSYC6112 This course covers basic topics and issues in psychometrics and clinical psychology research. Topics will include: Scales of measurement, norms and standard scores, reliability (including interclinician reliability), psychometric validity (including diagnostic validity), experimental design validity (internal, external, statistical, construct), test and scale construction strategies (classical true score and item response theory), current clinical research objectives and designs, major threats to valid inferences in clinical research, experimental and statistical methods of control, the design of psychotherapy efficacy studies, and the identification of clinically signifi- cant client changes

PSYC6114 Detailed consideration of psychopathology with respect to physiological cognitive, motivational, affective and interpersonal variables and their roles in etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

PSYC6116 Assessment of the historic development and current status of systematic paradigms in psychology. The influence of classical and contemporary philosophy will be considered in terms of paradigmatic development and the critical evaluation of psychological theory, and psychology's place as a "special science" or a natural science.

PSYC6122 Introduces the student to the domain of personality assessment. This includes a discussion of basic concepts and issues in the field of assessment such as acturial versus clinical prediction, the clinical utility of testing, and the consideration of diversity in the testing situation. The student is introduced to important measures of personality functioning, particularly the interpretation of MMPI profiles and the administration and scoring of Comprehensive System Rorschachs.

PSYC6132 This course focuses on the importance and contribution of development factors to clinical issues: the role of cognitive, social and moral development; the effect of early learning on later development including caregiver and child characteristics as well as the subsequent interactions; development from a life span perspective and family and cultural influences.

PSYC6133 Expertise in administration, scoring and interpretation of WPPSI, WISC, WAIS. Integration of intellectual evaluation and neuropsychology--in particular, brain lateralization, minimal brain dysfunction and learning disabilities. Writing evaluations, including referral questions and describing and integrating behavioral observations.

PSYC6160 Emphasis on pedagogical issues including undergraduate course preparation, presentation of course content, evaluation of student achievement, multicultural issues and academic honesty. Students will learn to teach in both traditional classroom and on-line environments. They will gain experience in lecturing, leading discussions (both in_class and on-line), use of audio-visual aids, syllabus preparation and test construction. Video taping will be used to give students feedback and evaluate their progress.

PSYC6180 Conduct intake assessments and participation in a variety of in-house clinical projects sponsored and supervised by the clinical faculty.

PSYC6181 Participation in in-house clinical projects sponsored and supervised by the clinical faculty. Ethics and the APA ethical code of conduct are covered in depth. Students are required to pass an examination covering the most recent code of ethics.

PSYC6624 This course provides for an understanding of the principal theories of counseling and psychotherapy; and understanding of the similarities and differences in the various major theories and techniques; and for a development of the ability to evaluate the need for counseling and/or psychotherapy in problem areas.

PSYC7110 Focuses on univariate models for the analysis of data of pure experiments,quasi-experiments and observational studies. Topics include univariate analysis of variance and covariance models for designs with between-subject and/or within subject factors; predictive and explanatory applications of simple and multiple regression analysis; path analysis. SYSTAT data analysis of archival data sets is demonstrated for most of the methods.

PSYC7111 Focuses primarily on multivariate methods that have been used extensively in clinical research, and on some methods whose use in clinical research has rapidly increased in the past few years. The former methods include principal components analysis, factor analysis, multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, discriminant function analysis, and linear classification functions. The latter methods include canonical correlation analysis, logistic regression analysis, logistic classification models, Bayesian classification, log-linear models, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. SYSTAT analysis of data of archival data sets is demonstrated for most of the methods.

PSYC7113 Theory and technique of psychodynamic psychotherapy, emphasizing classical drive theory, relational/developmental and cognitive/representational perspectives. Classes focus on clinical techniques, research on psychodynamic process and technical applications to specific psychopathologies.

PSYC7120 Minority issues as they affect psychological testing and psychotherapy. Women's issues, issues of color, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, differing physical abilities and age.

PSYC7121 Extends the principles and methods of empirically based behavioral assessment to behavioral treatment in clinical settings. Treatment literature as it applies to specific psychiatric disorders and application of behavioral principles in the context of complex clinical situations.

PSYC7125 Developing understanding of social underpinnings of psychological phenomena. Topics include attitude formation, attitude change, prejudice and discrimination, altruism, attribution theory, emotions, research techniques and applications of social psychology to clinical practice. Research project included.

PSYC7130 Functional neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology, emphasizing the relationship of brain mechanisms and synaptic chemistry to behavior. Special topics include: techniques for studying brain-behavior relationships; sensory and motor systems; homeostasis and regulation of internal states; emotions, aggression and stress; learning and memory; and the biological bases of mental illness.

PSYC7133 This course provides an introduction to the cognitive and affective bases of behavior. Topics to be addressed include basic principles of learning theory and alternative theoretical perspectives on the nature of emotion. The nature of cognitive processes such as memory and decision-making will also be addressed. The course is designed to be particularly relevant to the application of these topics to clinical psychology.
