3 Internship Missin and Mdel The missin f the dctral psychlgy internship at Sarah A. Reed Children's Center is t prepare students thrugh training, practice, schlarly inquiry, and rle mdeling fr entry int the field f Health Services Psychlgy. The internship has a cmmitment t train psychlgy interns t act cmpetently, respectfully, ethically and with integrity, prviding a brad array f psychlgical services t children, adlescents, and their families. The prgram mdel f training is practitiner/schlar/scientist. The mdel integrates cncepts frm ther mdels f training including the Lcal Clinical Scientist mdel and the Reflective Practitiner mdel. Prfessinal cmpetence, mastery, critical thinking, and identity are nurtured and cnslidated thrugh regular and frmal supervised clinical practice, didactic training, schlarly inquiry, research, and the pprtunity t wrk with prfessinals in a multidisciplinary mdel.

Training is designed t prvide multiple pprtunities fr the translatin f thery, knwledge, and scientific inquiry int real wrld practice. Specifically, we believe that psychlgical practice shuld be guided by psychlgical science translated and adapted t cmplex clinical and educatinal settings. A practitiner wh uses disciplined scientific inquiry and reflective practice shuld be capable f case frmulatin, critical inquiry, and the applicatin f the scientific knwledge base t practice. While we encurage effrts t d active, applied research in clinical practice, we als use scientific inquiry and research alng with the develpment f data-based clinical judgment t strengthen practice in rder t becme skilled practitiners.

Research: Interns are required t develp and cnduct a prgram evaluatin riented research prject during their internship year. They may d s independently, with faculty, r with anther intern. The requirement fr research is very flexible and will be tailred t meet the interests f the intern when pssible. Interns can spend up t 2

6 hurs each week engaged in research. Past intern prjects have typically fcused n prgram efficacy, prgram develpment, treatment and prgram utcmes, and the develpment f new treatment strategies. The specific prject will be determined based upn the interns' interests and gals f the agency. 7. Supervised Supervisin: Interns may have the pprtunity t supervise masters level trainees in psych-educatinal assessment, cnsultatin, and behaviral interventins. Interns will be given supervisin f their supervisin. 8. In-Service Training: Interns will be required t cnduct in-service didactic training fr ur agency training department. Training Methds 1. Experiential Practice Sarah A. Reed Children's Center internship adheres t and emphasizes an experiential/practitiner riented apprach t training. The integratin f clinical practice, which includes psychtherapy, assessment, and cnsultatin, is achieved thrugh direct clinical experience, supervisin, rle mdeling, and mentrship by psychlgists and ther prfessinals wh advcate fr practice based n the scientific literature as well as best practice appraches, didactic instructin in seminar and supervisin, and additinal assigned reading materials. In rder t accmplish the critical tasks f training interns t becme cmpetent prfessinals, we emply a variety f instructin and training prcesses. Interns will be able t gain direct clinical and assessment experience with children and adlescents acrss multiple settings. The interns will be expsed t children wh are functining at a variety f cgnitive, emtinal, scial, and envirnmental levels. Direct experience will include individual psychtherapy, family cunseling/therapy, grup therapy,parent-child interactinal therapy, parent management, psychlgical and/r psych-educatinal assessment, functinal behaviral assessments, and crisis interventin. Direct clinical experience is guided, prcessed, and integrated with infrmatin abut best practices thrugh supervisin, didactic instructin in seminars and cnferences, cllateral cnsultatin with a multidisciplinary team and their intern peers, in-service presentatins n relevant tpics, and by reading supplementary materials. 2. Supervisin High quality, ethical, effective, and cnsistent supervisin is the crnerstne f gd practice. We believe that the best supervisin is cnducted in an atmsphere f mutual respect and trust. While each supervisr's style is different, a cmmn thread thrughut the supervisin prcess is t enhance intern functining by emphasizing best practices, utilizatin f evidence-supprted interventins and encuraging the use f cmmn factrs underlying empirically supprted relatinships. While we recgnize that supervisin entails an evaluative cmpnent and is a hierarchical relatinship, we

7 strive t prmte and maintain a cllegial atmsphere. We expect ur interns t be active participants in the supervisry dialg and prcess and pen t cnstructive feedback n their wrk. Supervisin may include case review, videtape, r live supervisin. It is imprtant fr applicants t knw that there may be times when a supervisr may elect t explre an intern's persnal issues when the supervisr believes these issues are impacting the therapeutic r supervisry prcess. The explratin f cuntertransference and transference dynamics is believed by sme supervisrs t be an integral aspect f gd supervisin. In additin t these issues, it is expected that interns will be able t discuss issues related t their unique cultural heritage and value system as it pertains t clinical practice, ethics, as well as ther relevant practice areas. We strngly encurage interns t talk with each supervisr and establish an agreed upn prtcl fr these and ther issues. In cases where differences exist, additinal input and cnsultatin can be sught frm the Directr f Training r anther supervisr. Each intern receives a minimum f fur hurs per week f supervisin prvided by dctral level licensed psychlgists. Interns will receive 2.5 hurs each week f individual supervisin fcused slely n their residential therapy clients. Supervisin f these cases is extremely thrugh due t the intensity and cmplexity f each case. Each supervisr will fllw and intern's case thrugh discharge. Interns will als receive 1.5 hurs f grup supervisin each week. Grup supervisin is used fr didactic training, reflectin n intern experiences, and clinical case presentatins. Interns will als receive up t 1 hur f supervisin each week in their respective schl district placements. Outside f the frmally scheduled supervisin times, interns are able t access supervisin as needed. A faculty psychlgist is available at all times. Interns are als encuraged t seek ut and btain additinal supervisin frm prfessinals in ther disciplines and t interact with ther schl and clinical psychlgists in the cmmunity. 3. Rle Mdeling We strngly believe that interns gain knwledge and skills fr cmpetent practice thrugh regular expsure t experienced prfessinals ding their jbs. In keeping with this mdeling apprach, every effrt will be made t have interns wrk with prfessinals frm a variety f disciplines. This enables the intern t becme expsed t the day t day prcesses f wrking within cmplex systems as part f a multidisciplinary team. 4. Didactics: Didactic training will be ffered t cmplement the experiential and practical skill and cmpetency develpment during the training year. 5.
