August 25, 2021 Re: Internship Year 2021-2022 Dear Applicant: Thank you for your interest in the APA-accredited,* pre-doctoral internship in clinical
psychology at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. This internship
focuses exclusively on training in clinical child and pediatric psychology. The Pritzker
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health currently supports three interns per year,
each with a stipend of $36,629; we offer no unfunded positions. Offers are made in
February of each year in accordance with APPIC policies, and the intern year begins
Friday, July 1, 2022. Preference is given to applicants from APA-accredited graduate
programs in clinical psychology. The successful applicant will have a background in
developmental psychology and psychopathology, a strong record of research and clinical
training in the area of clinical child and/or pediatric psychology and an exemplary record
of academic performance.
The Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health offers comprehensive mental
health care to children and families through several programs including Outpatient
Services, the Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Consultation Service, the Partial
Hospitalization Program, the Inpatient Psychiatric Unit, and a range of specialized
programs in pediatric, clinical child, and community mental health services. Required
activities for interns include participation in Outpatient Services, the Partial Hospital
Program, the Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Consultation Service, the Neuropsychology
testing service, and a rotation in an area of choice on the Inpatient Unit or on a specialized
service in pediatric psychology, clinical child psychology, or community mental health. The
Outpatient Child Psychiatry Clinic provides diagnostic and treatment services to children
ages 2-18 with emotional, behavioral, and developmental problems. The Consult Service,
2
which comprises the bulk of the interns’ pediatric psychology experience, offers direct
consultation and clinical services to the medical and surgical units of the hospital. The
Partial Hospitalization Program offers intensive day treatment for children aged 4 to 14
years whose difficulties are too severe for outpatient treatment, but do not warrant
psychiatric hospitalization. The Neuropsychology testing service provides assessment to
medically complicated children and adolescents. Other optional activities are described in
greater detail in the brochure.
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is the pediatric training hospital for
Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. As such, it provides training and
research opportunities in a large number of clinical specialties. The Pritzker Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Health currently has training programs in psychology,
psychiatry, social work, and recreational therapy. The hospital provides medical and
psychiatric services to a racially, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse population in
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The hospital is heavily committed to service,
training, research, and advocacy.
The thirty-five full-time psychologists and two part-time psychologists employed in the
Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health reflect a broad complement of
theoretical viewpoints and approaches to therapy. Interns are not trained in any one
particular theoretical orientation, but are encouraged to find a perspective suited to their
own style and experiences. All clinical care in the Department is informed by scientific
research with a commitment to current best practice and an emphasis on empirically
supported treatments.
The goal of our program is to train psychologists capable of functioning as independent
professionals, conversant, and comfortable, with a wide variety of techniques and
perspectives.

THE PROGRAM
The Internship Program in Clinical Psychology, accredited by the American
Psychological Association (the APA office of Program Accreditation can be reached at 750 First Street,
Washington, D.C. 20002-4242; phone 202.336.5979), has been offered by the Pritzker Department
of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago
since 1963. The exclusive training focus of this internship is clinical child and pediatric
psychology. As such, it is designed to train competent psychologists to provide services to
children and their families in pediatric, community, and mental health settings. Upon
completing the program, interns will have acquired skills in the areas of diagnostic
assessment, neuro-psychological evaluation, behavioral analysis, short-term therapy,
parent training, cognitive-behavioral intervention, individual child/adolescent therapy,
family therapy, consultation with school and agency personnel, and consultation in a
medical setting. During their internship, students will be exposed to a broad range of
theoretical orientations, treatment settings, and interventions relevant to child, adolescent,
and family treatment. The program is strongly committed to training in empirically supported
treatments. While breadth of training is emphasized, the program is flexible enough to allow
interns to pursue their particular interests within the Department.
THE LOCATION
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is located at 225 E. Chicago
Ave. on the campus of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. This
location enhances collaboration with clinical and research partners at Northwestern,
expedites care of critically ill newborns delivered at Prentice Women’s Hospital, and
facilitates the transition of chronically ill children to adult care. Streeterville is one of the
most desirable locations in the city of Chicago. The hospital is across the street from the
Museum of Contemporary Art, a block away from the Magnificent Mile, and within walking
distance of the Art Institute, Symphony Center and Millennium Park. Bordered on one side
6
by beautiful Lake Michigan with its bicycle and walking paths and surrounded by renowned
architecture, wonderful shopping and superb restaurants, this location embodies the
energy and excitement of modern urban life. Chicago is one of the nation’s leading medical,
educational, and cultural centers. No matter what their interests, interns will find something
to satisfy their intellectual, social, and cultural curiosity in this vibrant city.
The Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is a 322-bed pediatric tertiary
care facility. It is the major pediatric training facility for the Feinberg School of Medicine,
Northwestern University and, as a major teaching and treatment center it attracts a diverse
patient population from all socioeconomic classes in Chicago, its suburbs, and surrounding
states. The Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health is one of the larger
departments in the Hospital. Professionals in this department are dedicated to promoting
the mental health of children, adolescents, and their families through the provision of state-
of-the-art psychological services, public education, and advocacy. Our mission includes
providing national leadership in the education of health care professionals and advancing
knowledge through research.
Children of all ages and from every socioeconomic background are treated in the
department for a wide variety of problems including adjustment disorders, emotional
problems related to pediatric health disorders, trauma, psychoses, mood disorders, anxiety
disorders, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, externalizing disorders, and
learning disabilities.
The Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health is staffed by a multi-
disciplinary group of more than 70 professionals with representatives from milieu therapy,
recreational therapy, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, social work, and clinical education.
To best meet patients’ needs the department is organized into the following four services:
1) Outpatient Services, 2) Inpatient Psychiatry, 3) Partial Hospitalization and Intensive
Outpatient Services, and 4) Intake and Mobile Services which includes the Psychiatry and
7
Behavioral Health Consultation Service. Outpatient Services provides assessment and
short- and long-term treatment for a wide variety of patients ages two through eighteen
years of age. As part of Outpatient Services, community and school based mental health
services are also provided through The Center for Childhood Resilience. The Inpatient
Service is designed to provide short-term acute care for psychiatric patients between four
and sixteen years of age who cannot be maintained in outpatient settings. Partial
Hospitalization serves a similar, but less acute, population ages four to fourteen years, for
a somewhat longer treatment period. The Partial Hospitalization Program has a strong
family emphasis. Intake and Mobile Services performs a triage service for all intakes for the
department. It also includes all emergency department consultation and consultation to the
inpatient medical beds through the Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Consultation Service.
THE PSYCHOLOGY DISCIPLINE
Psychology is one of several professional disciplines within the Pritzker Department
of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. Presently, its staff consists of thirty-five full-time and
two part-time psychologists. Most staff psychologists hold clinical appointments in the
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine,
Northwestern University and all, but one, are licensed to practice clinical psychology in the
State of Illinois. The entire psychology staff participates in the internship program, through
direct supervision, presentation of seminars, and/or involvement in the intern application
process. During the year, each intern has the opportunity to work with many of the
psychologists on the staff, with some flexibility to pursue common interests.
Psychologists at Lurie Children’s come from a variety of educational backgrounds
and theoretical orientations which are reflected in different approaches to therapy and
supervision. They provide exposure to a diversity of clinical styles and professional interests
thereby allowing interns to learn from a range of professional models. All training at Ann &
Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is grounded in a strong commitment to the
interface between scientific inquiry and clinical practice.
8
THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
The primary goal of the internship program at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s
Hospital of Chicago is to train competent psychologists to provide services to children and
their families in pediatric and mental health settings. The training program is guided by a
clinical science model in which clinical practice is informed by science and research, and
clinical work, in turn, generates new research ideas. Program graduates will achieve
assessment and intervention competence in the areas of neuropsychological assessment,
clinical diagnosis, behavioral analysis and treatment, short-term therapy, cognitive-
behavioral therapy, parent training, individual therapy, family therapy, consultation with
school and agency personnel, and consultation in a medical setting. Training objectives are
consistent with profession-wide competencies specified in the APA Standards of
Accreditation. Broadly stated, they include the following objectives: 1) to train competent
clinicians whose orientation to clinical work is guided by scientific inquiry, research, and the
application of scientific principles to the practice of psychology. 2) to train psychologists
who are competent in clinical diagnostic assessment of children, adolescents, and families
in a range of clinical settings. 3) to train psychologists in neuropsychological testing. 4) to
train psychologists competent to provide a range of empirically supported and best practice
therapies for children, adolescents, and families including individual therapy, family
therapy, and group therapy 5) to train psychologists competent to address multi-systemic
issues relevant to clinical care of children and adolescents. 6) to train psychologists
competent to provide psychological services in a range of mental health settings. 7) to train
psychologists in consultation and inter-professional/inter-disciplinary skills. 8) to train
psychologists sensitive to issues of diversity including, but not limited to, cultural, racial,
ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, sexual orientation, and family composition differences. 9)
to train psychologists in professional ethics and to familiarize them with the ethical and legal
guidelines governing the delivery of psychological services to children and their families.
10) to train psychologists in supervision, and 11) to facilitate the acquisition of a
9
professional identity as a psychologist and to help students develop the communication
and interpersonal skills needed to fulfill the role of a psychologist in most mental health
settings. [Specific program wide competencies and how they are addressed through the
program can be found in Appendix A)
The internship involves a non-rotational, year-long experience in Outpatient
Services and three four-month rotations. The four-month rotations consist of required
rotations in the Partial Hospitalization Program, and on the Psychiatry & Behavioral Health
Consultation Service (Consult Service), and a third rotation chosen by the intern from
among a number of specialty services in pediatric psychology, community and school
mental health services, and clinical child sub-specialty areas (the Intern Choice Rotation).
Students also complete a 4 month rotation in neuropsychological assessment. The year-
long experience allows interns to pursue both short and long-term cases while the rotations
provide intensive experience on a variety of other services. All services are described in
greater detail below:
OUTPATIENT SERVICES
The largest of the programs, Outpatient Services, meets the needs of children and
their families in approximately 20,000 visits each year. Children are referred for virtually
every reason, including disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety disorders, psychoses,
conduct disorder, school problems, mood disorders, trauma, developmental delay,
cognitive challenges, and a range of adjustment problems. All psychologists and interns in
Outpatient Services see a variety of children during the course of the year. Their duties
include psychological assessment, psychotherapy, and school and community
consultation. Psychologists and interns make decisions regarding the most appropriate
assessment or therapy approaches to cases in conjunction with other members of the
Outpatient Services staff. Psychological involvement might include traditional assessment,
behavioral assessment, individual relationship-based therapy, family therapy, behavioral
therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy or group therapy. Decisions regarding assessment
10
and treatment are generally determined on the basis of the psychological needs of the
case, the current research literature, and the theoretical orientation of the psychologist and
other professionals involved. The Psychology Staff is particularly committed to the use of
empirically supported treatments and to the ongoing measurement of outcomes. Each
intern devotes approximately 12-hours per week to the outpatient clinic, eight as a primary
therapist (four for general outpatient and four for medical psychology cases) and, during
four of their twelve months, four-six hours as an evaluator for the neuropsychology testing
service. Two hours a month are devoted to intake and diagnostic evaluations.
Subsumed under Outpatient Services are several specialty clinics, such as the
Trauma Team, and group opportunities including anxiety groups (largely based on the
Unified Protocol), adolescent depression groups, disruptive behavior disorders groups
(including a preschool group), and social skills groups for different ages (including Flexible
Thinking groups). Interns are encouraged to participate in several groups during the course
of their training.
Interns also have the option of participating in many different teams and clinics
including, among others, diabetes, epilepsy, pain, sleep disorders, GI, hematology-
oncology, organ transplant, and the gender and sex development clinics (ranging from
observational experiences, in some cases, to a complete rotation in others). At the
beginning of the internship year each intern meets with the Training Director to design a
professional education plan (PEP plan) that outlines the programs they will participate in
during the year. This PEP plan is based on an assessment of the intern’s needs and
professional goals and allows for individual programming within the larger structure of the
internship.
11
Neuropsychology and Testing Service
Interns will spend four months on the Neuropsychology Testing Service. The
Neuropsychology Service conducts evaluations of patients referred from both psychiatric
and medical settings for questions regarding cognitive functioning and its relationship to
underlying neurologic dysfunction. Referrals span a broad age range (five years and older),
and include concerns such as developmentally-based deficiencies of attention and
learning, anomalies of neural development, seizure disorders, traumatic head injuries, toxin
exposure (pre and postnatal), brain tumors, and systemic medical disorders, among others.
PSYCHIATRY & BEHAVORIAL HEALTH CONSULTATION SERVICE
(CONSULT SERVICE)
The Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Consultation Service is designed to respond
rapidly to the clinical needs of children and families who are medically hospitalized. Clinical
activities include evaluation and treatment of children, adolescents and their families, as
well as consultation with physicians, nurses, and allied health care personnel within the
hospital. Interns participate in the Consult Service during a four-month rotation.
Members of the hospital-based medical teams request consults for a wide variety of
reasons. These may include: assessment pre and post-surgery, mood and behavior
changes following medical procedures, psychological factors that may be contributing to a
child’s medical condition, depression related to an illness, anxiety regarding invasive or
aversive procedures, adaptation and coping with a medical diagnosis and/or with
complicated medical regimens, poor adherence to medical regimens, and treatment
planning after a suicide attempt. Presently, the Consult Service faculty have close working
relationships with colleagues in most of the major pediatric services offered at Lurie
Children’s.
A variety of assessment and treatment approaches are used by the Consult Service,
but behavioral interventions are most often employed because of the unique problems that
present in the medical setting. Psychological assessments of all kinds are also very useful
12
within the medical setting, and assessment plays a vital role in the work of the psychologists
and interns on this service.
After the initial evaluation and follow-up treatment in the hospital, the psychologist
may provide outpatient services on a long-term basis, including individual, behavioral, or
family therapy as needed. Outpatient pediatric psychology services are offered to patients
with medical conditions and fall under the auspices of the Outpatient Services Team.
Interns will devote at least three-four hours per week for the entire year to Outpatient
pediatric psychology.
THE PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM
(PHP)
The Partial Hospitalization Program provides an intensive day treatment program for
children whose emotional or behavioral problems may require more than outpatient
treatment, but are not severe enough to warrant inpatient hospitalization. Children generally
remain in the program for two to three weeks at which time they return to their home schools
(if appropriate) and participate in intensive outpatient treatment. The program is strongly
family focused and staffed by a multidisciplinary team consisting of social workers, milieu
workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and a clinical educator. The unit is based on
empirically supported treatment approaches that include behavioral and cognitive-
behavioral interventions and treatment principles derived from Ross Greene’s collaborative
and proactive solutions approach. During their four-month rotation in the Partial Program
interns will follow several cases in individual and family therapy. They will also lead a
children’s therapy group based on the Unified Protocol and attend treatment reviews. They
may participate in or observe other activities in the Program including recreational therapy,
a parent support group, and/or multi-family groups.
13
INTERN CHOICE ROTATION
For the third of their three four-month rotations, interns are given a choice of
several services. They will be asked to make this choice after matching with the Lurie
Children’s Internship Program. Current options for this rotation include devoting 12-16
hours per week to one of the following:
Inpatient Psychiatry Unit
The Inpatient Unit of the Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health
is an acute care, crisis stabilization unit with a capacity of 12 beds and an average length-
of-stay of 5--10 days. The unit structure and multidisciplinary programs support its primary
aims of diagnostic evaluation, stabilization, discharge and after-care planning. During this
experience, interns will serve as the primary therapist for a number of cases, responsible
for coordinating the diagnostic assessment and providing intensive therapy to the
hospitalized child and his/her family as indicated (individual child therapy, family therapy,
parent guidance, etc.). The goals of the Inpatient rotation are to develop and refine skills
necessary for effective interdisciplinary collaboration, and to become more experienced
with assessment and treatment approaches to acute crises with severely psychiatrically
impaired children and their families.
Gastrointestinal Service
The GI service provides training in the health and behavior assessment of functional
gastrointestinal disorder as well as treatment approaches including traditional CBT, ACT,
and use of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens. Students on this rotation will
attend weekly pediatric neuro-intestinal and motility clinical services meetings and will have
the opportunity to become involved in related research.
14
Diabetes Service
Participation on the diabetes service would involve a combination of inpatient
consultation (primary prevention work with families at the time of diagnosis and intervention
for those admitted due to poor control) and clinic-based outpatient consultation with children
and adolescents being followed for diabetes. Interns on this service also have the option of
participating in joining the diabetes research team.
Gender and Sex Development Clinic
Interns participating in the gender and sex development rotation would: (1) Attend
multidisciplinary gender development clinic and the multidisciplinary sex development
clinic with opportunities for shadowing and co-interviewing with the attending
psychologist; (2) Take on outpatient diagnostic evaluation/therapy for gender patients
under supervision of GSDP attending psychologist, including opportunities for readiness
assessments for pubertal suppression treatment, gender-affirming hormones, and/or
gender-affirming surgical interventions; (3) Co-facilitate therapeutic groups for gender
patients and, (4) Have opportunities for research supervision using clinical database for
the gender program.
Center for Childhood Resilience (CCR) and Trauma
Interns participating in this rotation will send approximately half their time
participating in the trauma services provided by the Outpatient Services in the Pritzker
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and half their time in community and
school-based work. The outpatient trauma work involves participation in the trauma team
meetings, providing services for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma
using empirically supported trauma treatments, and providing empirically supported group
treatment for trauma. The community work involves observational experiences in school
mental health including supported implementation of trauma and mental health services in
the schools, creation of and consultation with school behavioral health teams, and
presentations on trauma and social-emotional programming to school personnel. Interns
15
will also participate in Tier 2 trainings such as Anger Coping, Think First, SPARCS,
Bounce Back, or CBITS. Interns will also be exposed to advocacy work by attending
meetings, e.g. for the Illinois Child Trauma Coalition.
Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
The developmental and behavioral pediatrics rotation involves working with the
psychologists on that service to learn to administer and interpret age appropriate
developmental tests with high risk populations, children with autism spectrum disorders,
and young children with emotional and behavior disorders. Participation on this service
includes one half day of testing and diagnostic evaluation in the neonatal and cardiac
care intensive follow-up clinic, one half day per week of testing and diagnostic evaluation
in the developmental and behavioral pediatrics clinic, and one half day per week in a
parent training clinic for parents of children with autism spectrum disorder.
PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF THE INTERN
Interns are required to maintain approximately 16-hours per week of direct patient
contact throughout the year. Typically, interns spend 18-hours per week in a variety of
clinical activities. Other clinical learning experiences include participation in teams,
observation of supervisors, and co-therapy.
Assessment – Interns spend approximately one-third to one-half of their time in
Pediatric Psychology and one-quarter of their time in Outpatient Services doing
psychological evaluations. Psychological assessment may consist of a functional analysis
of behavior, formal developmental or cognitive testing, clinical diagnostic assessment,
structured interviews, or other procedures deemed appropriate by the psychologist for
gathering clinical information and answering the referral question. Psychologists might
perform assessments in the context of gathering information on their own cases, in
response to requests by members of another discipline such as psychiatry or social work,
16
or in response to requests for a consult by medical personnel in the hospital or an outside
agency already treating the child.
Psychotherapy – Interns are encouraged to distribute their therapy activities across
all service units. A typical weekly caseload might include four to eight hours a week of work
with a child and his/her family on the interns’ major rotation (Consult Service, Partial
Hospitalization, or their Optional rotation), six to eight hours of outpatient therapy with
children, adolescents or families, an outpatient intake; and one or two hours of group work.
The form and focus of treatment (child, family, parent, or some combination) is determined
by the intern and his/her supervisor after consideration of diagnostic input, the scientific
literature, conference recommendations, and patient/family needs and resources.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The program is administered directly by the Director of Training with the support of
the Chief Psychologist, the Psychology Staff, and the Department Chair. Monthly
psychology staff meetings allow for discussion of program issues on a regular basis.
Interns also meet bi-weekly with the Director of Training during which time, program
feedback is addressed. Each spring interns meet for a half day retreat with the post-doctoral
fellows to provide feedback on the program. This feedback is then discussed by the staff
over several weeks. Each year, changes in the program are made in response to this
feedback. The Director of Training is a member of the Department Education and Training
Committee and training concerns which require broader department attention are
addressed in meetings of this committee. Furthermore, any issues of grievance or due
process are brought before this committee for consideration.
17
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
As a major pediatric teaching facility for the Feinberg School of Medicine,
considerable staff time and facilities are invested in the training of students from several
disciplines. Professions currently represented among the department staff include
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, recreational therapists, nurses, clinical
educators, and milieu therapists. Active training programs draw students and trainees in
psychiatry, psychology, and social work for full-time placements. Additional part-time or
part-year placements are arranged for students in recreational therapy and pediatrics.
At present, funding is available for three full-time, twelve-month internships in clinical
psychology. Typically, four graduate students from Northwestern University’s graduate
program in clinical psychology arrange for a practicum experience in our department. Two
of these are second year students participating in a diagnostic and testing practicum; two
are third year students participating in a therapy practicum. Currently four post-doctoral
positions are available, one in Outpatient Therapy and Consult Service work, one in
Outpatient Therapy with a focus on trauma and community based mental health services,
one in research and treatment of children and adolescents with diabetes, and one in the
Gender clinic. Preference for filling these positions is given to current interns.
Seminars
Interns attend approximately seven hours of seminars per week although this time
commitment varies at different times of the year. The seminar load is heaviest during the
first two months of the internship when interns require more didactic learning to acquire the
information necessary to be clinically effective as the year proceeds and clinical loads
increase. The Neuropsychology Seminar meets for several full day workshops in the
summer, during which time interns are introduced to all the necessary assessment
instruments. In the fall, this seminar continues for one and half hours per week to cover
topics of interest in the field of pediatric neuropsychology. The Pediatric Psychology
Seminar also meets for a longer period of time during the first two months of the internship
18
to introduce interns rapidly to hospital consultation and topics critical to care in pediatric
psychology. In the fall, this seminar moves to one hour per week and it is completed at the
end of February. The seminars under the rubric of Topics and Treatment in Child Psychiatry
and Psychology meet 1-2 times per week throughout the year and include blocks of
seminars in the areas of clinical assessment, community issues including schools, diversity
and cultural competence, the psychotherapies, forensic and ethical issues, and trauma
assessment and treatment.
Additional workshops are presented at the beginning of each training year to address
the use of empirically supported treatments for specific presenting problems, most notably
anxiety, depression, and oppositional disorders. The workshops include training in semi-
structured interview techniques and the use of manualized treatments.
Daily rounds or required meetings during each of the major rotations—Consult
Service, Partial Hospitalization, and the Intern Choice Rotation-- provide additional case
based didactic experiences as does a bi-weekly multi-disciplinary case conference. During
these conferences, psychology interns, as well as staff and other trainees, present cases
for discussion and consultation. Additional didactic experiences include Grand Rounds in
the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg
School of Medicine.
Training in Empirically-Supported Treatment
Staff at Lurie Children’s are strongly committed to training interns in empirically
supported treatments for a wide range of disorders. Specific workshops, training seminars
and/or supervision are provided in the following treatments:
1. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression based on the Unified
Protocol, as well as other cognitive-behavioral programs such as Chorpita’s
Anxiety Treatment and TADS for depression.
2. Parent-management training.
19
3. Trauma treatments including TF-CBT, Attachment Regulation and Competence
(ARC) therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools
(CBITS)
4. Greene’s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions for externalizing disorders
5. Motivational Interviewing
6. Principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
7. Principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Supervision
During the course of the year, interns are assigned two supervisors for their general
outpatient cases, one supervisor for their pediatric psychology cases, and one supervisor
for their neuropsychological assessment cases. Typically, interns receive at least one-hour
of supervision for every three-four cases they see. Supervision for work on the Intern
Choice Rotation is provided by the attending working on that service while supervision for
Partial Hospitalization cases is provided by the Clinical Director of this Service. While on
the Consult Service, interns are supervised on a rotating basis by all the pediatric
psychology staff and the Consult Service psychiatrists. Thus, each intern receives a
minimum of five hours of supervision per week. Although most of the supervision is done
by psychologists, interns also receive supervision by members of other disciplines.
Video recording units and observation rooms are available in the department for use
by interns and their supervisors. All interns are expected to videotape at least some of their
therapy sessions during the year and are observed live in the family therapy seminar. In
addition, telehealth videoconferencing software is utilized to provide telehealth services for
select outpatients.
Supervision for Spanish-speaking Interns
The Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health serves a large and
diverse patient population among which is Chicago’s growing Latinx community. Interns
who are bi-lingual in Spanish are, thus, highly recruited. Supervision for treatment of
20
Spanish speaking families is provided by Rebecca Ford-Paz, Ph.D. or Edna Romero,
Ph.D., bi-lingual staff psychologists, who conduct supervision in Spanish for these cases.
Mentoring
All interns meet together bi-weekly with the Director of Training who provides
support, mentorship and seminars on ethics, professional development, and supervision.
These meetings also provide an informal forum for addressing intern concerns and
grievances. The variety of ages, backgrounds, interests, and approaches to balancing life
and work among the Lurie Children’s psychology staff provides a broad range of role
models and mentors for the interns. In addition, all interns are assigned an individual mentor
with whom they can meet on an as needed basis to discuss career objectives, the stresses
of internship, dissertation matters, etc.
Research and Program Development
The internship program in clinical psychology in the Pritzker Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago
has a strong commitment to training students as scientist-practitioners. This is an ideal
setting in which to teach students how to integrate research and clinical practice. In addition
to allowing access to a number of populations (e.g. medically ill children) who are otherwise
difficult to study, this setting provides students with a unique opportunity to study the
effectiveness of a variety of treatment approaches with children and families. As the field
of psychology moves increasingly towards accountability and the use of empirically
supported treatments this becomes a critical component of training at the doctoral level.
Once they have completed their dissertation work, interns at Lurie Children’s have the
option of becoming involved in an ongoing research project in the department. The best
opportunities for completing research are provided within the Intern Choice Rotation as
many of these options involve active research projects and are flexible enough to provide
time for conducting research.
21
Evaluation
Interns are formally evaluated three times per year by all of their supervisors.
Following the completion of each major rotation, rotation supervisors, testing supervisors,
and outpatient supervisors complete evaluation forms. Additional, less formal, student
evaluations take place at monthly staff meetings; students receive feedback about any
concerns raised during these meetings in one-on-one meetings with the Training Director.
All evaluations, grievance and due process procedures are outlined in the Intern Handbook
and distributed during orientation. Twice a year, the Training Director also sends an
evaluation letter to each Intern’s Academic Director of Training.
Interns are also asked to evaluate their supervisors three times a year and the
overall program twice a year. Seminars are evaluated after the completion of each
presentation.
Successful completion of the internship requires that, by the end of the internship
