Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, part of the Yeshiva University system, has been training mental-health professionals for over 50 years. The school will introduce a new program this fall focusing on marriage and family therapy. The Marriage and Family Therapy MS (MFT) degree joins the four other highly regarded programs within the school, including: Clinical Psychology (PsyD), School Clinical Child Psychology (PsyD), Clinical Psychology Health Emphasis Program (PhD) and Mental Health Counseling Program (MA).
The Clinical Psychology PsyD is a degree in adult psychology, while the School Clinical Psychology PsyD students are trained to work with children and adolescents in both a school and clinical setting: a unique approach, giving graduates the opportunity to work in either field.
