Our Training Includes: 1) Professional training grounded in the broad and general foundations of the science of clinical psychology; 2) investigation of the significance of ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural differences upon human development, models of change, and spiritual expression; 3) spiritual approaches, knowledge, practices, and expertise relevant to clinical practice; and 4) research demonstrating how spiritual expertise is relevant and useful in clinical psychology practice.
