The goal of the RBHC Psychology Training Program is to train competent, ethical, independent psychologists to provide psychological treatment and assessment services in a locked psychiatric environment. Psychology trainees will be trained to recognize situational stressors, trauma, biochemical changes, and external factors that overwhelm and minimize effectiveness of coping mechanisms that lead to the need of psychiatric hospital care. Psychology trainees will also enhance learning of accurate diagnostic abilities. Diagnostic Treatment interventions focused on increasing mental health stability helps to help stabilize patients to successfully make progress and achieve a level of functioning in the least restrictive setting possible.
