For Professor Orsillo, the people make the program at Suffolk University. “We have an eclectic mix of researchand clinically-oriented faculty members who come from a number of theoretical orientations,” she says. “This offers students a rich training experience.” Suffolk’s strong ties with Boston’s institutions also enrich doctoral candidates’ education. “We have partnerships with many hospitals and universities that provide our students with a range of child- and adult-focused placements,” she says. “These training experiences make our students very competitive in the job market.” Students in the clinical psychology doctoral program may also gain experience in Suffolk’s cutting-edge Acceptance, Mindfulness, and Emotion Lab, which Orsillo founded. Known as the “third wave of behavioral therapy,” mindfulness and acceptance originated as Eastern meditation processes. “There’s a movement in the field of psychology to embrace acceptance-based approaches, and there is good evidence that it can be integrated into other therapies,” Orsillo says. Doctoral students in her lab learn alongside an expert—Orsillo’s numerous scholarly publications include the book Acceptance- and MindfulnessBased Approaches to Anxiety: Conceptualization and Treatment. http://www.cas.suffolk.edu/psychology http://www.cas.suffolk.edu/psychology http://www.nationalregister.com
