PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Clinical Psychology Internship at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital Center is designed to provide interns with a yearlong, intensive, clinical experience with diverse patients in a wide range of clinical settings. The internship is based at both sites of the St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City.

The Hospital Center is a not-for-profit, voluntary, general teaching hospital affiliated academically with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. The Internship is housed in the Psychology Division of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health is a multi-disciplinary comprehensive service, which includes two emergency rooms, two inpatient units, an outpatient clinic, a child and adolescent division, community outreach services, day treatment programs, several specialty clinics, and a multi-service substance abuse facility. In January 1997, St. Luke's Roosevelt and Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan and Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn joined together forming Continuum Health Partners, Inc.

There are more than thirty psychologists on staff who participate in all treatment services as clinicians, supervisors, teachers, researchers, and administrators. In addition, adjunct psychology faculty is utilized for teaching and supervision. Most of the psychology staff is involved in the internship either as direct supervisors or teachers; thus, the internship represents a vital and integral component of psychology at the hospital. For the upcoming year the program will accept six Adult Track and six Child Track interns.

INTERNSHIP PHILOSOPHY

The Internship Program offers broad-based, generalist training in clinical psychology as practiced in a modern, urban hospital center. The internship emphasizes the development of professional judgment, skills, and identity, through exposure to a wide variety of patients and treatment settings. Within this general structure, an attempt is made to individually tailor each intern's experience in accordance with his or her interests and goals. A major goal of the internship is to facilitate each intern's ability to be a skilled and resourceful evaluator and psychotherapist. Training in various diagnoses and modalities of evidence-based psychotherapy is integral to this process. Psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, systems, ethnocultural and medical model approaches are all emphasized. An integrative treatment model in which cognitive behavioral interventions are informed and combined with dynamic and developmental approaches is emphasized. This model is taught, and practiced by psychology students, throughout the various clinical placements. Ongoing program planning and evaluation involving the interns and their supervisors are an integral part of the program. Interns are encouraged to assume a gradually increasing degree of professional responsibility and autonomy as the year progresses.

CLINICAL TRACKS

At the time of application, each intern applies to either the Adult Track or the Child Track of the Internship Program. Both tracks are anchored in their core commitments to integrationist philosophy, evidence-based evaluation and intervention, and ethnocultural competence. Both tracks embrace a highly participatory teaching style – in shared and separate courses. However, the two tracks offer separate training experiences emphasizing clinical technique and theory focused on their respective populations.

ADULT TRACK

The internship year is divided into three major four-month clinical rotations. Within each clinical rotation, interns have an opportunity to develop their skills in various forms of evaluation and treatment. This allows them to gain clinical experience with patients from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds with a wide range of psychopathology, as well as to learn about treatment systems by becoming an integral member of a treatment team.

All adult interns participate in:

1.) Inpatient Rotation: Interns are assigned to one of two 36-bed inpatient units where they function as primary clinicians for their patients. Their responsibilities include intake evaluation, individual and group psychotherapy, psychodiagnostic assessment, and participation as a team member in staff and unit community activities. Supervision is provided by psychiatrists and supervising psychologists.

2.) Adult Outpatient Clinic:Each intern carries an outpatient caseload of approximately 14 hours weekly. This caseload includes one group (co-led with another intern), one family, and individual patients with a broad range of psychiatric diagnoses. Interns receive supervision in each of the following areas: group psychotherapy, long-term and short-term psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, supportive therapy, case management, and crisis intervention. Interns are also trained to conduct psychodiagnostic evaluations.

In addition to these experiences, each intern chooses two other rotations from among the following:

A.) Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES): is a therapeutic day program for adolescents who are abusing/dependent on substances and who also may have a primary or secondary psychiatric diagnosis. Treatment occurs within the context of an intensive milieu and includes individual and group psychotherapy, family therapy, treatment of substance abuse and addiction-related issues, and various milieu related activities (e.g. community meetings). Interns are also involved in intake and psychodiagnostic assessment as part of an interdisciplinary treatment team. The program director, and staff psychologists provide supervision.

B.) Psychiatric Recovery Center (PRC) is an outpatient program offering services designed to meet the needs of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. A work and recovery model informs the treatment, and supports the goal of engagement in vocational, pre-vocational, or educational activity, either at our site or outside of the program. Psychology interns are an integral part of PRC's multidisciplinary team. Interns serve as primary therapists, conducting individual psychotherapy and leading several groups. Interns may also administer psychodiagnostic batteries to help clarify diagnosis and level of functioning. The director as well as other psychologists on staff provide supervision.

C.) The Center for Intensive Treatment of Personality Disorders (CITPD): This program is a therapeutic day treatment program for adults who are in acute crisis. The majority of the patients have affective illness and/or axis II pathology. Treatment takes the form of various group and individual sessions aimed at helping patients resolve the acute crisis and make the transition back into the community. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a treatment focus as well as psychodynamic and process work. The director, who is a psychologist, as well as other psychologists and professionals on staff, provide supervision.

Assessment

Interns administer, interpret and report on psychodiagnostic batteries (integrating cognitive, personality, and psychological symptom assessments), under the close supervision of Psychology Faculty.

Supervision

Interns receive intensive supervision in all clinical settings. Each intern is assigned at least three supervisors from the Supervising Psychologists on staff. Additional supervisors are assigned from Psychiatry or from other disciplines. Interns begin the year with a minimum of six hours per week of supervision.

Supervision is focused on helping the interns deepen and broaden their understanding of clinical processes and the treatment situation. A special effort is made to facilitate development of a flexible stance to respond to the needs of a culturally, ethnically, and medically diverse patient population.

Seminars

Seminars and didactic courses are an important part of the interns' training. In addition to the Case Seminars held on each service, interns participate in a wide variety of courses. For example, there are seminars on evidence-based treatment (e.g. CBT, DBT, etc.), ethnoculturally tailored treatments, psychodynamic therapy, ethics, psychotherapeutic process, family therapy, systems theory, and psychopharmacology. Most seminars are small and are taught by senior faculty. Interns also take part in a weekly process group.

Adult Track Interns are expected to work forty plus hours per week including two evenings in the Outpatient Clinic. Interns are regarded as important additions to the various clinical services for their energy and commitment to learning.

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT TRACK

The child and adolescent track of the psychology internship program is based within the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, otherwise known as the Child and Family Institute (CFI). The target population is children ages zero to eighteen, and their families. Housed at St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospital Center, as well as in satellite clinics throughout Manhattan, CFI offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, home and school-based services, psychopharmacological treatment and neuropsychological testing as well as individual, family, milieu and group psychotherapy. There is a vibrant and challenging multi-disciplinary learning environment for child track interns who have the opportunity to be integrated into a variety of services including the following:

Rotations

The Child and Adolescent Track is comprised of several major mandatory rotations to provide trainees with a solid background in conducting clinical work in an academic urban medical center. All interns spend about 25% of their time in the Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES). A Dialectical Behavior Treatment (DBT) model is employed in the day program and interns are given training in this approach. They serve as primary therapist for one adolescent, run groups and participate in all aspects of the community's daily routine, including morning rounds, community meetings and lunch times.

Approximately two-thirds of the intern's time is spent involved in various activities in the outpatient department, which serves patients from infancy through adolescence and their families. Interns can expect to carry individual, dyadic, family, and group treatment cases. In addition, for half the training year interns spend approximately four hours per week learning to conduct intake evaluations that focus on developing preliminary diagnoses, treatment plans and on providing crisis interventions as needed. The other half of the year is spent in a minor elective rotation such as Testing and Assessment, PIC or Discovery Center.

Didactics

Throughout the training year interns engage in seminar-style courses on psychotherapy, psychological testing, psychopharmacology, psychopathology and special topics (e.g., diversity,  professional issues, ethics, family therapy, trauma treatment, etc.)). Courses are taught by St. Luke's clinicians as well as by voluntary faculty members in private practice and outside speakers who are specialists in a particular area of interest. In addition, the Department of Psychiatry presents weekly Grand Rounds lectures on research and treatment issues. Interns are required to attend the once per month Child Grand Rounds and are welcome to attend the adult-focused lectures.

Supervision

Supervisors in the Child and Adolescent Track are committed to providing supportive instruction that encourages the development of clinical technique and the integration of theory into therapeutic practice. All interns receive a minimum of four hours of individual and group supervision that explores treatment questions from a variety of theoretical perspectives (i.e., psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral). Interns also participate in clinical team meetings, case conferences, journal club, staff meetings and weekly meetings with the training director. Child interns take part in a bi-weekly process group that focuses on issues related to their training experience and professional development.

Training Experiences for Post-Doctoral Fellowship

St. Luke’s Roosevelt offers supervised clinical opportunities for Post-Doctoral Fellowship. Typically, there are 12 Post-Doctoral Fellows. These typically include 6 Post-Doctoral Fellows in the Adult Track, and 6 Post-Doctoral Fellows in the Child Track. In the Adult Track, there are Fellowships in: Addiction Institute Of New York; Women’s Health Project; Center For Intensive Treatment Of Personality Disorders; Psychiatric Recovery Center; and the Adult Outpatient Clinic. Depending on grant funding, there may also be Fellowships in the Behavioral Science Research Unit. Please contact the Director, Psychology Education and Training, to learn more about these.
