The clinical psychology doctoral program in the Department of Psychology at Western Michigan University is a behavioral program designed to provide broad clinical training utilizing a scientist-practitioner model. Faculty conduct research and train students in modern behavioral psychotherapies such as Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Activation (BA). Graduates from this program are competent to function in a variety of professional roles including research, practice and college teaching. The balance of research and practice is obtained in part by practicum and research training within an on-site clinic, as well as practical experience in community agencies and research activities within faculty members’ independent laboratories.
