Practica
PSY 750: Advanced Clinical Techniques are taught in conjunction with the MU Psychology Clinic and have both a didactic and clinical focus. The MU Pyschology Department's Clinical Faculty offer practica from their particular theoretical perspective. They assign and discuss relevant readings in class as well as supervise graduate students' on-going therapy and/or assessment with clients in the clinic. Two practica are typically offered each semester, giving students some choice in how they fulfill their requirements. Occassionally, the practica are taught by adjunct faculty. Practica allow students to see 1-4 clients at a time with intense, quality supervision. This provides an excellent introduction into clinical practice and serves as training ground before students take on the challenge of a 20-hour external clinical placement.
