About the BYU Comprehensive ClinicCurrent The Comprehensive Clinic is a research, training, and service facility located in the John Taylor Building of Brigham Young University. Counseling services are provided by graduate student interns from the Clinical Psychology program, the Marriage and Family Therapy program, and the Social Work program. The graduate student interns receive close supervision from experienced faculty who are licensed practitioners. The Clinic offers a wide range of assessment and counseling services for individuals, couples, and families. The Communication Disorders Department from the McKay School of Education is also in the downstairs portion of the John Taylor Building. LDS Family Services is also in the John Taylor Building and provides a wide variety of groups and counseling services, as well as adoption services. History The idea for the Comprehensive Clinic was originally developed by individuals in LDS Social Services (now LDS Family Services) and the BYU Values Institute around 1976. Original goals included: 1) to facilitate clinical research and psychological theory construction; 2) to encourage cross-disciplinary efforts in closely related clinical fields; 3) to improve graduate training in these fields; and 4) to improve the physical facilities for the programs involved. |
