The program in clinical psychology is consistent with the Psychology Department’s broad mission to develop psychology conceived as a human, rather than natural, science. That is, our approach is consistent with all those who have been concerned with understanding the meaning, significance, complexity, and depths of experience and behavior, and who honor the sociocultural and historical embeddedness of psychological life. Our research programs emphasize qualitative methods of research which draw upon the same skills as those of the best psychotherapists. Some of the prominent historical figures in our program include psychoanalysts such as Freud, Jung, Lacan, Klein, Kohut, Mitchell and Malan, phenomenological psychologists such as Boss, Craig, and Romanyshyn, and philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Derrida, and Butler.

Yes Would you like your program to be listed on the Psychoanalytically-friendly Universities web-site? Yes Program Description Although the focus of Penn State's clinical program is training students for academic careers, as a faculty we aspire to provide both excellent research and excellent clinical training. As such the program values clinical training, which is unique for top research R1 clinical programs. Additionally, also unique among such programs, we value clinical pluralism. The majority of the 18 or so faculty consider themselves cognitive-behavioral or behavioral in their orientation, but several faculty consider themselves integrative and few outright psychodynamic in their orientation. Additionally, the vast majority of the faculty are open and valuing of psychodynamic approaches even if one is not trained or adherent in the approach. Thus the atmosphere in the program is accepting and encouraging of those with psychodynamic interests.
