Pacific Graduate School of Psychology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pacific Graduate School of Psychology is a free standing graduate-only educational institute offering a PhD program in clinical psychology, located in Palo Alto, California.
The PGSP was founded in 1975 and has been accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1988. The school is somewhat unusual insofar as it is a smaller educational institution that offers a PhD rather than a PsyD program, a degree that has more of a focus on clinical practice than on research and is more common with private colleges. PGSP does, however offer a PsyD in conjunction with Stanford University's medical school(also located in Palo Alto), operating as the PGSPāStanford Psy.D. Consortium Program.
PGSP is not affiliated with the similarly named Pacifica Graduate Institute, located in Carpenteria, California.
