Since 1979, Rutgers has had an undergraduate Internship program in applied, school, and community psychology and we have had placements with school psychologists. In recent years, interest in school psychology among undergraduates has accelerated and we have an increasing number who would like to apprentice with school psychologists as interns.

Study on Assessment Methods of Childhood Trauma

September 26, 2010

This Kean University study is aimed at identifying different ways in which psychologists assess trauma. The goal of this research is to assess if a psychologist's choice of child trauma measures is moderated by their particular professional role; i.e. school or private practice. With a significant proportion of child trauma measures having adequate psychometric properties, a psychologist's choice of measure could provide important insight to the field of child trauma. Specifically, the types of traumatizing events children are most frequently exposed to as well as the symptoms that are the most common among children and their presentation whether in the form of externalizing or internalize symptoms. In addition, research can provide information about differences in overall assessment styles and evaluate if levels of education or training have an effect on the use and selection of assessments measures of child trauma as well as how moderated that is by one's chosen professional role in the field.
