Preference will be given to candidates from APA-approved programs and internships. Partici¬pants in this program have the title of Psychology Associate.Psychology Associates, who work in close collaboration with staff, function as professionals with many of the same responsibilities as the staff. They receive close supervision of their clinical work from several staff members in order to provide alternative perspectives on clients' problems.
The following describes the major areas of training experience:
Psychotherapy
- Psychology Associates receive the majority of their training in individual psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapy. Brief therapy and more intensive treatment are emphasized equally. Additionally there may be opportunities to do couples and group psychotherapy.

These seminars may include (1) Techniques of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, (2) Contemporary Psychoanalytic Theory: Controversies and Technique, (3) Treatment of Eating Disorders, (4) Group Psychotherapy (5) Ethnocultural Factors in Psychotherapy.
- In addition Psychology Associates may participate in a range of didactic presentations within the Georgetown community. This includes grand rounds at the hospital and training conferences through the Department of Psychiatry.

Psychology Associates participate in the evaluation of clients new to CAPS. Psychological difficulties are assessed and treatment plans carefully formulated on the basis of clinical interviews and, occasionally, psychological testing.

These activities include: (1) clinical consultation, (2) consultation to dormitory staff, and (3) training for paraprofessionals and Residence Life staff.

Research
-
Research and evaluation activities are tasks that complement CAPS' primary goal of providing a variety of mental health services to the University community.
