Lectures and Seminars

Every psychology resident participates in a required weekly didactic lecture-seminar series. This series is comprised of modules such as professional and ethical issues, diversity issues, diagnosis and assessment, supervision, consultation-liaison, empirically supported therapies, and psychopharmacology. The content of didactics varies with the changing needs and interests of the residents and faculty. Subjects have included interviewing and diagnostic skills, community psychology, therapeutic methods, neuropsychology, treatment of populations with diverse cultural and
personal values, and interprofessional relationships.

In addition, journal clubs in each track meet once a month: general adult psychology, general child psychology, behavioral medicine, and rehabilitation neuropsychology. Residents in the behavioral medicine and rehabilitation neuropsychology tracks will also participate in a weekly neuropsychology seminar. The rehabilitation neuropsychology resident will also participate in bi-monthly fact-finding exercises. Psychology residents are expected to attend ten journal clubs during the course of the year; they can of course attend as many as interest them. The journal clubs meet at various times, as arranged by the coordinator of each journal club.

Psychology residents may attend one or more elective seminars such as: a seminar on Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder taught by Michele Bedard-Gilligan, PhD and Kristen Lindgren, PhD or Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workshop and Seminar taught by Kate Comtois, PhD or residents may also join the psychiatry residents in seminars on Interpersonal Psychotherapy or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy taught by various members of the regular and clinical faculty on a rotating basis. Residents are encouraged to attend lectures in the University of Washington community, including the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds (Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences).
