Internship
in Clinical Child Psychology July 1, 2001 - June 30, 2002 The Internship in Clinical Child Psychology in the Division of Child Psychiatry at the Institute for Juvenile Research (IJR), Department of Psychiatry, University of Illinois College of Medicine offers a unique and rich training experience for those interested in learning to work effectively with children and adolescents, their families, schools, and community agencies within an urban setting. Founded in 1909 to evaluate and treat children and adolescents in the Chicago Juvenile Court systems, IJR was the first child guidance clinic and the second organized psychology training program in the country. The staff at IJR have a strong commitment to training and advancement of clinical practice. The goal of the training program is to promote a scientist-practitioner orientation, with an emphasis on the integration of applied research and clinical practice. The IJR internship has been continually accredited by the American Psychological Association as a clinical psychology internship since 1980. APA Education Directorate Five interns will be selected. The annual stipend is $17,000. In addition to the stipend, interns have four weeks vacation and personnel days, sick leave, medical and dental insurance, life insurance, and pension. We will consider half-time positions for highly qualified applicants. THE CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAM IJR receives referrals from many agencies, schools, and departments of the University of Illinois Medical School as well as self-referred individuals. As such, we serve a diverse population. Many of our referrals are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and many come to us with multiple problems. Our clinical services and clinical research grants and contracts provide the means by which we fulfill our primary responsibility for services training and research. The majority of clinical work is through our outpatient clinic and focuses on children with emotional and behavioral problems and their families. Experience in diagnostic intakes, psychological testing, individual, group, and family therapy, and school and community consultation is provided. Interns are expected to maintain clinical contacts sufficient to bill 9 hours per week. These hours can be billed through some of the clinical research projects (e.g., PALS, parenting clinic) or through cases seen in the outpatient clinic. Click here to download the Brochure.
