In the pages that follow, you will find a stunning array of choices – courses in literature and the arts, in anthropology and politics, in biochemistry, neuroscience, and physics. You will find lectures taught by world-renowned scholars and intimate seminars where faculty share their latest research and ideas. You will find classes on topics you have been wanting to study for years, and classes on topics that may never have crossed your mind. The task before you is to choose – to pick, like the proverbial kid in a candy store, from the hundreds of options that lie waiting before you. It can be hard to know where to start, and how best to plot a course that will satisfy your own intellectual cravings. So I urge you to go slowly. Savor the possibilities that are in this catalogue and all of the offerings you will find bursting from the halls of Barnard. Choose

  • The Psychology Externship
    The Psychology Externship INTRODUCTION The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) Student Counseling Center Externship provides an opportunity to experience and learn about the growing discipline of university mental health while providing psychotherapy to students in a supportive training environment. The externship is exclusively focused on the outpatient assessment and treatment of college and graduate students. Other weekly activities will include: individual supervision with licensed psychologists, a case conference and didactic seminar, and mental health outreach and prevention workshops. CLINICAL RESPONSIBILITIES Through the externship, externs develop skills in diagnosing and treating the mental health issues of a diverse college-based population. The extern will spend most of their time engaged in direct clinical work. This will include conducting initial diagnostic evaluations and ongoing weekly psychotherapy sessions. Externs are responsible for a caseload of 6-8 students per week and will receive on-site supervision. Externs wishing to see more than 6-8 students are usually easily accommodated. Externs also participate in student walk-in hours where they are trained in conducting brief evaluations and crisis intervention. PSYCHODYNAMIC FOCUS The JTS Counseling Center Psychology Externship provides an opportunity to develop and hone skills in contemporary supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy in the college setting. Weekly psychodynamic supervision, case conference, and readings discussed in the didactic seminar will enhance this learning. OUR STUDENTS The opportunity to work with students engaged in a religious and spiritual journey provides unique learning possibilities to our externs. Many of our students are enrolled in joint programs with either Columbia University or Barnard College. Of equal importance, their learning takes place at the Jewish Theological Seminary where students are training for careers in Jewish education and/or religious leadership positions.
