The
FSU Psychology Clinic is a research and training facility affiliated
with the Clinical Psychology Program of the Department of Psychology
at Florida State University. Because the Clinic serves as a
research facility for the Department of Psychology, graduate
students and faculty occasionally conduct research projects
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
for Taping, Observation, and Research Participation is required
of all clients who receive Clinic services. If you have questions
or concerns about this policy, you are welcome to discuss it
with clinic personnel.
Some examples
