Master's Level
Doctoral Level
The program as a whole is designed to address all five levels of the biopsychosocial model of human functioning: biological, psychological, familial, community, and sociocultural. With regard to theoretical orientations to treatment, we encourage students to develop a personal integration of contemporary psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and multicultural approaches. Because of the extensive clinical course offerings at CSPP-San Francisco, students can develop in-depth expertise in one or more of these orientations by selecting sections of required courses, elective courses, field placements (practica), and supervisors that emphasize a specific theoretical orientation in therapy.
