The
Florida State University Psychology Clinic provides services
to the Tallahassee community and functions as a training and
research facility for graduate students in the Department of
Psychology. Because therapists in training need to receive thorough
supervision, it is necessary for sessions to be audio/videotaped.
These tapes are used only for approved Clinic training and research
activities. In addition, the therapist in training may be observed
by Clinic staff (for example, the faculty supervisor or other
members of the treatment team) from an adjoining observation
room using the one-way mirror that is located in each therapy
room.
Because the Clinic
serves as a research facility for the Department of Psychology,
graduate students and faculty occasionally conduct a research
project in the Clinic. Clients are expected to participate in
projects for which they may be appropriate. You will be informed
about the nature of any project that requires your active participation.
In general, these projects are not time-consuming and often
simply involve the completion of brief questionnaires.
Consent to the above
procedures is required of all clients who receive Clinic services. The
Consent for Taping, Observation, and Research Participation
form can be obtained by clicking on the following link:
