ADULT OUTPATIENT

Outpatient Adult Psychiatry Clinic:  Under the supervision of Robert Carey, Ph.D. or his designee, interns can receive training in evaluation and therapy with a variety of adult psychiatric conditions, including psychosis, affective disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, marital discord, anxiety disorders, and sexual dysfunction.  Individual, couples, family, and group therapy procedures using a variety of theoretical approaches, including behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic strategies, are utilized in this clinic and provide interns with a broad range of experiences in outpatient adult disorders.  Monthly case conferences in this clinic provide a further opportunity for interns to more thoroughly examine the processes involved in the assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment selection.

Domestic Violence/Anger Management Rotation:  The Men's and Women's Workshop/Anger Management Program at UMass is a university-based research and treatment program for domestic violence.  Under the supervision of Lynn Dowd, Psy.D., interns receive training in the assessment and treatment of anger problems, aggression, and intimate partner violence in men, women, and adolescents.  Interns will participate in all aspects of the program, perform intake assessments, and conduct groups with an experienced co-leader. 

For interns who desire more intensive training in family therapy, work with William Vogel, Ph.D. can be arranged.  Dr. Vogel directs the family therapy training program in the Department of Psychiatry and holds a diplomate in family psychology, ABPP.
