Psychological Sciences and Research
Integrity in Practice
Assessment and Diagnosis
Therapeutic Intervention

Clinical Practice from a Catholic Integrative Perspective

Our unique approach helps students develop a Catholic understanding of human flourishing in the individual person and marriage and family life, and be able to integrate this with the Psychological sciences in clinical practice.
