Antioch University Seattle offers
an exceptional opportunity to pursue a clinical doctorate in psychology.
The Psy.D. program follows a practitioner/scholar model: theory and application of clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment are emphasized and supported by training to understand and produce the scholarship that supports those practices. This emphasis distinguishes the program from typical Ph.D. programs, which generally follow a scientist/practitioner model. Antioch is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Antioch's
Art Therapy concentrations are approved by the American Art Therapy Association
(AATA).
Concentrations are year-long training modules that combine doctoral-level theory and integration of that theory while seeing clients in Antioch's Community Counseling and Psychology Clinic. Antioch is the only university in the United States
with a Psy.D. that includes an art therapy concentration, setting it apart from other graduate
schools in psychology. The concentrations offered include:
- Adult psychotherapy
- Art therapy
- Child and family systems
In addition, there are two concentrations offered in rotation every other year:
- Forensic psychology (2010-11)
- Health psychology (2009-10)
Core and elective courses based on your areas of interest round out
your Psy.D. program. Plus, the clinical focus gives you an opportunity
to choose an applications-oriented doctoral paper.
You have the flexibility to pursue your Psy.D. in clinical psychology
full time or part time. Practical experience is integrated throughout
the program. It takes an minimum of four years of full-time, on-campus study, including two years of supervised practical experience by a licensed psychologist, to complete your Psy.D. coursework. You will then complete an internship, which takes one year if done full time or two years if done part time.
