The AUS PsyD in Clinical Psychology students and faculty were very well represented at the American Psychological Association’s (APA) 2019 national convention in Chicago this August. The APA is “the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 118,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students as its members.” The APA is also famous for publishing its own publication manual, a written style guide followed by many academic departments throughout the humanities and beyond. The AUS PsyD program is also accredited through the APA, which gives the program additional honors and prestige.
