About the Program
The Neuropsychology Subprogram of the City University of New York (CUNY) Doctoral Program in Psychology, supported by Queens College and the Graduate Center, is comprised of two tracks: Basic Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology: Neuropsychology.
The Basic Neuropsychology track consists of a 60-credit curriculum emphasizing competence in research and teaching in the area of brain-behavior relationships and focuses heavily on neuroscience topics.
The mission of the Clinical Psychology: Neuropsychology doctoral program is to train students to become first-rate, ethical scientist-practitioners with an empirically-based understanding of the neural aspects of psychopathology and cognitive dysfunction, as well as the skills to apply this knowledge to the assessment and treatment of people. All students will also receive specialized training in Neuropsychology, which will follow basic didactic and practical training in Clinical Psychology. Students receive high quality education and training in preparation for the practice of Professional Psychology, as researchers and educators, and as clinicians.
The Program follows the Conference Policy Statement of the National Conference on Scientist-Practitioner Education and Training for the Professional Practice of Psychology (Belar & Perry, 1992). In addition, for training in Clinical Neuropsychology, the Program fully endorses the training model proposed by Division 40 (Clinical Neuropsychology) of the American Psychological Association (APA), and, in particular, the progression of training suggested by the Houston Conference
