The third year of training is
devoted primarily to the outpatient treatment of
both adults and children. Experiences in the
Psychiatry Outpatient Clinics and the Child
Development Center enhance the residents
understanding of individual and family
psychopathology and of the complex psychopathology
and psychosocial dynamics that motivate behavior.
Major emphasis is placed on helping residents
integrate elements of biological, social, and
dynamic psychiatry as they develop an increasingly
firm sense of professional identity and autonomy.
