Psy.D. in Individual, Organizational and Community Transformation:
A Program in Consciousness and Society

The Program in Individual, Organizational, and Community Transformation

Oriented towards practice in a unique way, our Psy.D. program offers a substantive theoretical core informing the way students approach their research and practica. Following the forty-year departmental tradition of rigorous and creative scholarly inquiry alongside personal growth, the doctoral program is designed to cultivate self-awareness and academic depth. By developing reflective disciplines of mind - self-awareness, analysis, radical questioning, contemplation, gratitude - students gain skills to facilitate similar habits in others, both individually and communally.

Our training emphasizes human-science approaches for which the generation of knowledge is a collaborative effort. Qualitative methods hold priority -- students will engage phenomenological, transpersonal, critical, historical, action-research, discursive, and hermeneutic approaches in their course of study. In addition to research, students may explore integrative coursework addressing topics such as: human consciousness, psychospirituality and transformation, human development, mind and body, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, group process, epistemology and ethics, and approaches to community.
