GPS 689 - Research Seminar

This is a yearlong seminar for all students beginning work on their major paper, case study, or thesis. It allows students to share their research and receive feedback and supervision on a continuous basis. The major paper is an in-depth analysis of the theoretical, clinical, and experimental literature in a specific area of clinical psychology. It demonstrates the student’s ability to synthesize, integrate, and critique the knowledge base of professional psychology, and contribute to the growth of that knowledge. The thesis involves conducting a research study in the field or laboratory, while the case study is an intensive examination of an individual clinical assessment, treatment, or program.
