心理与脑科学系提供心理学和脑科学博士学位课程，专门研究社会心理学，认知心理学，行为神经科学和临床科学领域。博士课程的学生可以通过提交论文来获得可选的硕士学位，但是所有学生都必须继续攻读博士学位。该计划的目的是培训研究人员，以拓宽心理学学科赖以生存的科学知识基础。主要着重于研究准备。其他重点包括为学生提供教学和临床心理学实践的准备。临床培训计划已获得美国心理学会（APA）和心理临床科学认证系统（PCSAS）的认可。我们的总体目标是培训产生，应用和传播科学知识的临床研究人员。我们培训与时俱进的理论和研究并为临
The Clinical Science Program was established in 1968, has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1975, and was accredited by the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System in 2011. We offer integrated experiences in applied and basic research, practica in assessment and intervention, and coursework that emphasizes the interdependence of theory, research, and practice. Our overall goal is to train clinical researchers who produce, apply, and disseminate scientific knowledge. We train clinical scientists who keep abreast of current theory and research and contribute to the knowledge base in clinical psychology. With a focus on both science and practice, our program's overarching curricular theme is to integrate the two. The integrative theme is also reflected in collaborative, translational research in which faculty and students apply basic psychological theories and empirical findings to real-world clinical problems such as depression, anxiety, child maltreatment and trauma, aggression, and couples distress in cancer patients. Our program's training model is consistent with the vision of the Delaware Project. Specifically, we train students to emphasize continuity across a spectrum of research activities concerned with (a) basic mechanisms of psychopathology and behavior change, (b) intervention generation and refinement, (c) intervention efficacy and effectiveness, and (d) implementation and dissemination
