GRADUATE STUDENTS

The University of Alabama's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program is accredited by the American Psychological Association and is based on the scientist-practitioner (Boulder) model. The clinical orientation of the program may be described as eclectic with an emphasis upon cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal process approaches. The Clinical Psychology Program is further divided into subareas, of which Dr. Cox is affiliated with the Psychology and Law subarea. Students enrolled in the Psychology and Law concentration receive specialized courses and clinical training in forensic psychology, including working with individuals involved in the legal system (e.g., defendants, police officers, lawyers) within state forensic hospitals, jails, and law clinics. Additionally, students conduct research relevant to psychology and law, sometimes directly with these clinical populations.

​Dr. Cox not will be accepting a graduate student to start in the 2023-2024 academic year.
