PART ONE: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION




Introduction

The New Jersey Department of Human Services' Psychology Internship Program offers training experiences from several state hospitals, agencies, community mental health clinics, and other approved training settings. The program affords interns multiple opportunities to develop a broad range of clinical skills under supervision.



Philosophy and Theoretical Orientation

The training philosophy of the New Jersey Psychology Internship Program is to provide interns with diversified clinical experiences in which they carry out their major professional functions under appropriate supervision. More specifically, the goal of the internship year is to provide a guided clinical experience giving the interns opportunities to work with varying populations, with supervisors representing a variety of theoretical orientations, and with multidisciplinary treatment teams. In keeping with current clinical practice, numerous professional role models are available.


An eclectic mix of behavioral and dynamic models are represented in the program. During the year, the intern comes in contact with varying points of view and methodologies and participates in hospital programs that cover a broad spectrum of mental health issues. Interns attend centralized colloquia (two per month), where they can discuss professional and clinical issues with outstanding psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health specialists.
