Develop your own philosophy.

Active exchanges with faculty-practitioners stimulate your thinking as you examine the role of the mental health practitioner in the larger context of society and the global village. This environment fosters professional and personal growth and inspires your thinking as you develop a personal philosophy of psychological, social, and cultural change.

Practice in the community.

Antioch University New England’s fundamental belief in practical learning is reflected in all Department of Applied Psychology programs. You practice and apply what you learn in practica and internships that are close to home and rooted in community service.

“My teaching and research has centered on meaning-making, especially the remaking of meaning. When individuals or human systems are hit with an event that shatters their cherished beliefs, their central task is to incorporate this experience into a new world view. To me, the most important work counselors and therapists can do is to facilitate meaning-making. It is the core of personal resilience and essential to thriving human systems .” — Katherine Clarke, Phd Chair, Department of Applied Psychology
