Ph.D. Program Faculty
The Ph.D. faculty is comprised of talented and distinguished psychologists with a wide range of clinical and research specialties. As a whole, the faculty members support evidence-based approaches to practice and they are actively involved in clinical research. Thirteen core faculty--those primarily based at PGSP-- serve as the backbone of the Ph.D. Program running the day to day operations of the program. In addition, nine associated faculty spend more than 20% of their time teaching and supervising research at PGSP. Many of these faculty share appointments with the Palo Alto VA and bring important insights from their work in this setting. A group of adjunct faculty members provides teaching and clinical supervision in areas that are not represented by core or associated faculty. In order to ensure an even greater breadth of research knowledge and expertise, PGSP has contracted with a group of professors from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University to provide focused consultation to our dissertation students.
