Previous: Program Description
The eight interns in the Adult Psychology Track of the NYU-Bellevue Clinical Psychology Internship Program receive broad-based training with adults, adolescents, and children. Interns in this track participate in three four-month rotations. The rotations are chosen at the beginning of the internship year in collaboration with the internship director. On these rotations, the intern assumes responsibility for a combination of assessment, consultation and direct clinical care duties. Other times are designated for various outpatient services, psychological assessment, supervision and seminars. Bilingual and multilingual students are encouraged to apply. Please note: a minimum of two bilingual or multilingual matched interns in the Adult Track will be assigned to the Bilingual Treatment Program for one of their rotations.
Each intern carries a diverse outpatient psychotherapy caseload, representing a spectrum of demographic and cultural backgrounds, clinical presentations and treatment needs. Interns in the Adult Psychology Track carry a minimum of five outpatient adults as well as one child, one adolescent, one family, and one adult group, which is co-led by either two interns or by one intern and one psychiatry resident or social worker.
Interns receive a minimum of six hours of supervision per week. Supervision of psychotherapy is conducted according to numerous theoretical orientations including brief dynamic, cognitive, behavioral and psychodynamic. Interns are assigned individual supervisors for each rotation experience, each outpatient psychotherapy case, and each psychological assessment case. Supervision of group psychotherapy is typically conducted with both co-leaders present. Family therapy supervision is conducted live. Supervisors, along with a team of fellow trainees, observe family therapy sessions through a one-way mirror and telephone the therapist with comments and/or suggestions.
