Position Summary:
The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva University invites applications for our fulltime internship in Clinical Psychology with a focus on working with patients in a multidisciplinary clinic (see below) in clinical supervisory and administrative capacities. Research opportunities are also offered. Specifically the intern will have the opportunity to treat patients between the ages of 4 and 94 in modalities that include psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy; family couples and group therapy; and he/she/they will also have some managerial oversight of the Parnes Clinic to gain consultation and supervisory experience. To this end the goals of our psychology internship program include the promotion of clinical supervisory and administrative competencies in a setting that values socially and culturally responsive practice in training and clinical care of diverse populations. We also offer training in the particular skills which are necessary to run communitybased clinics and graduate training clinics. There will also be an opportunity to train and supervise Physicians Assistant (PA) students in Yeshivas Katz School of Science and Health and there is the possibility of a clinical rotation at nearby Jacobi Medical Center. The interns will be able to audit classes at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology as well as have a dedicated weekly meeting which will include didactics case conferences professional development and peer supervision. The start date will coincide with the opening of our clinic for theacademic training year.
Position Responsibilities:
At Parnes you will have two primary supervisors (the clinic director and assistant clinic director) and additional supervision from the Ferkauf faculty on an as needed basis. There are also numerous opportunities to gain increased professional independence and to influence and even to build new programs within the clinic and possibly the surrounding community. Similarly opportunities to help with fundraising activities and community outreach are available. For example an intern can assist in the Parnes Clinics newest initiative: a program to help adolescent asylum seekers within their local high schools. In addition there are always research opportunities at the Clinic and we can provide our internship trainees with excellent attentive and diligent research supervision if this is what an intern chooses. Interns will also have access to advanced research tools such as SPSS and Qualtrics through their YU account. Interns will be provided with a private office and a desktop computer.
As mentioned above a subtext of the internship is to expose interns to the administrative and clinical worlds of the Training Clinic Director. Hence the intern will assist with the ongoing development and of the multifaceted and specialized psychotherapy programs at the clinic (e.g. CBT psychodynamic family/couples) as well as some adhoc supervision of students in these practicums. In fact each evening and on Fridays one of our two interns along with our assistant director will be solely responsible for all clinic operations (with remote backup from the clinic director as needed) and she/he/they will be the first point of contact for all student issues (and occasional crises). Hence strong preference will be given to candidates with clinical administrative and teaching aspirations.
Experience & Educational Background:
We seek applicants who are committed to learning engaging with the local community and collaborating with our faculty and students to promote openness to developing and providing exceptional mental health services to diverse populations considering intersectional identities in clinical conceptualization and treatment.
