Professional Concentrations
PhD students select one of seven areas of professional concentration as an area for clinical specialization: family psychology, adult health psychology, pediatric health psychology, neuropsychology, cultural and social psychology, public health psychology, or forensic psychology.
Adult Health Psychology
The health psychology track provides training in the foundations of health psychology, theories of health behavior change, and advanced behavioral medicine techniques including biofeedback. Students who seek this area of concentration are encouraged to select a variety of clinical experiences in public health and medical environments. [Top]
Pediatric Health Psychology
Pediatric health psychology students may choose one of two tracks: pediatric psychology or pediatric neuropsychology. Training emphasizes principles of pediatric psychology, infant and toddler development, cleft/craniofacial anomalies in children, grief and loss issues for children and caregivers, children and adolescents in trauma, and child neuropsychology.

Neuropsychology
The concentration in neuropsychology provides students with classroom and clinical training opportunities designed to prepare the student for pre- and post-doctoral specialization in the field of neuropsychology. Students engage in coursework that emphasizes assessment, principles of psychophysiology, cortical and subcortical structure and function, and behavioral neurology. [Top]
Culture and Social Psychology
Students who select the professional concentration in culture and social psychology draw on the strength of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area: an area of tremendous cultural diversity and an ideal place in which to study and develop clinical competencies in cultural psychology. Coursework emphasizes social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, culture and behavior research, attribution theory, and psychological study of social issues. [Top]
Public Health Psychology
Students are fortunate to have access to an outstanding public health faculty in the LLU School of Public Health, which offers additional training in health promotion and education, health administration, maternal and child health, global health, nutrition, epidemiology and biostatistics, environmental and occupational health, and public health practice.
