Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology (WSPP) is a private graduate school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1978 and awards doctoral degrees in clinical psychology.
Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology (WSPP) was founded in 1978 by a group of southeastern Wisconsin psychologists who believed that post-secondary institutions were not meeting the demand for clinical psychologists. Accepting its first students in 1980, WSPP's first faculty was composed of practicing psychologists in Milwaukee. [2] [3]
It became accredited in February 1987 by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). [3] Along with the NCA, [4] WSPP is also accredited by the American Psychological Association. [1]
A psychologist studies normal and abnormal mental states, perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and social processes and behavior by experimenting with, and observing, interpreting, and recording how individuals relate to one another and to their environments. Most psychologists need a license to practice psychology. Typically, psychologists need a doctoral degree in psychology, although a master's degree is sufficient in some situations. Licensing and regulations can vary by country and profession.
The Doctor of Psychology is a professional doctoral degree intended to prepare graduates for clinical practice and leadership roles in mental health. Earning the degree was originally completed through one of two established training models for clinical psychology. However, Psy.D. programs are no longer limited to Clinical Psychology as several universities and professional schools have begun to award professional doctorates in Business Psychology, Organizational Development, Forensic Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and School Psychology. The other two degrees are EdD and PhD.
