Overview

About the program

The Clinical Psychology PhD program at Lakehead University strives to develop and nurture skills within our students that are grounded in science, critical thinking, and ethics, so that they may serve as competent researchers, clinicians, and educators.

We are dedicated to increasing the scientific understanding of the behaviour of individuals, groups, and social systems and to the application of this understanding to enhance the functioning and well-being of individuals, groups, and societies.

Programme Structure

How you will learn:

The program adheres closely to the scientist-practitioner model of training and practice in psychology.
Specifically, we subscribe to the view that the practitioner who can critically evaluate these research findings will make the soundest contributions to society and the profession by supporting evidence-based practice.
Similarly, a clinical researcher who is knowledgeable about best practices will make the most significant contribution to clinical research.
