The Adler School of Professional Psychology is the oldest independent psychology school in the country. The Adler School continues to apply Alfred Adler?s (1870-1937) vision to today?s social problems. The school?s curricula prepare professionals to address social and global challenges as well as serve the needs of marginalized and underserved populations. Students come from all over the world to study in a collaborative atmosphere among accomplished faculty who are leaders in their field. The school?s commitment to social justice is also extended through the onsite Psychological Services Center (PSC) which provides training opportunities to students and provides services to the community through its Chicago Loop clinic, and through prisons, schools, and other settings. The main campus, with approximately 500 students, offers all programs and is conveniently located in downtown Chicago. There is also a Canadian campus located in Vancouver, BC offering the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology.
The Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA) (750 First Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20002-4242, 202-336-5510). The school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association (NCA) (30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602, www.ncahlc.org)
The Programs
The Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program is designed to prepare students for the general practice of professional clinical psychology. The program follows the practitioner model of training developed by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology. This model identifies as objectives the development of knowledge, skills, and values in seven core competency areas: relationship, assessment, intervention, research and evaluation, consultation and education, and management and supervision.
The Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology program is designed to provide students with a foundation in the theories and methods of counseling psychology, as well as hands-on, practical, supervised training in applying counseling psychology techniques, with an emphasis on Adlerian Psychology. Graduates of this program are prepared for entry-level professional work in a variety of human service agencies and organizations in the public or private sector. Graduates are also eligible to sit for the Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC) exam in the state of Illinois.
The Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology ? Art Therapy program combines the theories and techniques of Individual Psychology with education and clinical training in the field of art therapy. This program is approved by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) and requires 700 hours of clinical practicum experience under at least partial supervision of a Registered Art Therapist (ATR). Art Therapists work in a wide variety of clinical and educational settings including hospitals, schools, wellness centers, children?s agencies, correctional facilities, and geriatric settings.
The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling is designed to prepare entry-level counselors to specialize in working with couples and families. The sequence of courses and supervised clinical training will assist professionals in qualifying for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in many states. Students in this program complete course work and practicum experiences focused on the understanding and integration of individual lifestyle dynamics with marital and family systems.
The Master of Arts in Counseling & Organizational Psychology program combines the theories and practices of counseling psychology with organizational theory, design, and development in order to prepare graduates for positions in business and industry, especially in organizational psychology and the related areas of personnel management, team building, performance enhancement, executive coaching, organizational development, training, and employee assistance programs. Graduates of this program are trained and qualified to become entry-level counselors and are eligible to sit for the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) exam in the state of Illinois.
The Master of Arts in Police Psychology program is the first of its kind in the country. This program is designed for field officers, supervisory personnel, command members and those interested in a career in law enforcement. This MA degree is not designed to teach students to conduct therapy or engage in psychological testing and has no practicum or clinical hours required. Rather, the program teaches students the practical applications of psychology as it relates to the field of law enforcement.
The Adler School also offers several post-Masters Specialization programs. These programs can be taken in conjunction with a degree program to offer additional specialization or can be taken as a separate program. These programs include:
? Art Therapy
