Abstract

The actual products of clinical-community-based training offered at the National Asian American Psychology Training Center (NAAPTC) internship are described. NAAPTC has responded to a need for comprehensive and specialized training which recognizes the multi-ethnic composition of American society and the diversity of the nation's mental health needs. The program has responded to the challenge by emphasizing a combination of broad based skill development, a community psychology model, and an interdisciplinary approach in its training experience. The many contrasting experiences offered are necessary to hone and refine diagnostic and therapeutic skills within a multi-ethnic community setting. These clinical, administrative, and community experiences are briefly reviewed to illustrate the comprehensive nature of the internship.
