Qualifications of Applicants
The predoctoral internships in clinical psychology are for advanced students (fourth year and beyond) in good standing in APA-approved programs in clinical psychology. Such standing assumes that applicants will have the following preparation: supervised clinical practicum experience, as well as courses in personality theory, diagnostic psychological testing including projective methods, psychotherapy, abnormal psychology or psychopathology, and research methods. Applicants with doctorates in fields of psychology other than clinical should consult the APA guidelines on retraining requirements.
Minority Group Applicants - African-American and Spanish-speaking psychologists are in considerable demand in the Boston area, and internship applications from members of these and other minority groups are especially encouraged.
Application and Selection Procedures
The deadline for applications and all supporting materials is November 7, 2011.
Please use the APPIC application, as well as our supplemental application. Please forward a c.v., work sample, three letters of recommendation, and all graduate and undergraduate transcripts. We would also like you to include an autobiography which is a personal history. If your APPIC autobiography is such, there is no need to write an additional one. Please list on the Massachusetts Mental Health Center supplemental application which dates you would be available to interview.
It is not possible for us to interview all who apply; we must restrict interviews to those students whose interests and qualifications appear to be most compatible with our program. Therefore, interviews will be scheduled only after applications have been screened. After screening, applicants will be invited for interviews if appropriate.
Applicants will be notified whether they will be interviewed by December 1, 2011. This year, we will interview applicants on the three days listed on the application. Please indicate on the application all dates you would be available for interview.
All internships begin on July 1, 2012 and end on June 30, 2013.
Applications should be addressed to:
June G. Wolf, Ph.D.
Director of Psychology
Massachusetts Mental Health Center

Applicants will be informed of their status through the matching program adopted by APPIC.
