Michael reese hospital announces certain changes in its training facilities in clinical psychology
Two grades of externes are now appointed: senior and junior. Stipend: to seniors, $900 per year on a three-quarter time basis; plus the privilege of taking all meals at the hospital. To juniors: $300 per year; on half-time basis and one meal.
These externeships have been instituted to afford training opportunity for psychologists planning to enter the clinical field. Appointees participate fully in the activities of the Psychology Laboratory. They work together with the psychiatric, and the social service, staffs, in studying patients referred to the hospital, utilizing the appropriate psychological technics and engaging in staff conferences as treatment is planned and evaluated. All externes are expected to learn the Rorschach test; and to participate in the research carried on with this, or any other psychological instrument, in the Laboratory. Time and freedom are offered to pursue studies for the advanced degrees in the universities. No male applicant will be considered who has not been deferred for military service.
The present plan is oriented towards providing the senior externe an advanced level of preparation. Hence the seniors will be selected from among candidates who have had a minimum of one year's practical training experience. All other considerations equal, preference will be given to junior externes in this Laboratory. One externe at each grade will be appointed; each for one year. All applicants must be university graduates who have had the fundamental background in psychology.
Interested persons will please write to S. J. Beck, Ph.D., Head of the Psychology Laboratory, Michael Reese Hospital, Chicago.
