THE CARL ROGERS INSTITUTE for CLIENT-CENTERED THERAPY
Student Training...
training. The following opportunities exist for graduate student training:
Supervision
All trainees are supervised by
licensed clinicians. Practicum
students receive at least 1 hour of
individual supervision weekly from
their primary supervisor, one and a
half hours of group supervision and
one hour of supervision bi-weekly
from a secondary supervisor.
Students also participate in a weekly
non-directive encounter group
experience.
Diagnostic Practicum training
Students learn to administer, score and interpret various psychological tests including, but not limited to, the WAIS, WISC, WIAT, PAI, MMPI, TAT, Rorschach, various cognitive measure and mental
status exams.
Therapy Practicum training
Students learn the discipline of non-directive Client-Centered therapy. They are taught the meaning and importance of Client-Centered empathy, congruence
and unconditional positive regard.
Advanced Practicum training
Doctoral students can specialize in advanced therapy or advanced diagnostic training or both during this yearlong training.
Post-Doctoral Fellowship training–
Graduates of clinical psychology doctoral programs receive supervision while completing their mandatory
hours prior to receiving their license in psychology.
The training includes psychotherapy and diagnostic testing experience. Fellows are also used as secondary supervisors for practicum students.
Programs
There are several specialized training programs at CRI. They are all related and can overlap. Students can elect to participate in any of these programs or
they can choose not to participate in these programs at all and simply see a general clientele. Once a student commits to participating in one or more of these programs, they state whether they would like to be involved
with them full-time (2 full days a week) or part-time (1 day a week or ½ day a week). The programs include the following.
The School Therapy Project
Practicum students are assigned to a Chicago Public elementary, middle or high school where they provide psychotherapy to children within the school. Individualsupervision is provided by a counselor with school work experience or a clinical psychologist.
The Health Psychology project
Practicum students provide psychotherapy
and/or diagnostic assessments to a medically compromised population. The
physical conditions seen within this
practice include, but are not limited to, end
stage renal disease, HIV/AIDS, various
types of cancers, heart disease, infertility and chronic pain conditions.
Under Served Populations Program
Students at the Carl Rogers institute also
have the opportunity to work with people
with mental health needs and few
resources. People living with substance
abuse issues and homelessness deserve
access to quality mental health care.
Through the resources of the Carl Rogers Institute, we help to make this happen.
The Child Therapy Program
One of the newer and developing programs at The New Center and The Carl Rogers
Institute is the play therapy program. This
program utilizes the work of Rogers, Axeline and Moon among others. Play
therapy offers the same client-centered
non-directive attitude toward children while incorporating a more "age conducive"
environment for the children to explore and grow as they choose.
