Department of Psychology The Department of Psychology was established in 1949 although work in psychology began in the Department of Philosophy in 1924. The present Department has 32 full time faculty members, two special appointments, 19 cross appointments, 17 adjunct professors and 27 clinical supervisors. Faculty research covers a wide variety of areas. At the graduate level there are three main programmes of study: Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science; Clinical; and Social. There is also a Forensic Specialization available. Ten full-time faculty members are identified with the Clinical Programme. The graduate programme in Clinical Psychology was established in 1959 and adheres to a scientist-practitioner model of training with greater emphasis on scientific training.� The major aim is not only to transmit existing knowledge, but to develop constructively critical attitudes and creative skills in psychologists who are dedicated to clinical psychology as a scientific profession, so that they will be able to make useful and novel contributions to the solution of problems arising in clinical settings. All three functions of clinical psychology are stressed: assessment, treatment, and research. Objective methods are preferred in assessment, and the major emphasis in treatment is on empirically-based approaches. Instruction emphasizes cognitive-behavioural approaches, although reference is also made to other psychotherapeutic approaches as well as physical methods of treatment. The programme is accredited by both the Canadian and the American Psychological Associations. Of the 28 M.A. and 83 Ph.D. graduate students currently registered in the Department, 8 and 38, respectively, are in the Clinical Programme.
