We aim to provide an educational environment in which our graduate students can learn advanced concepts and principles of psychology, psychotherapy, counseling and the methods of scientific inquiry into the behavior of individuals, groups and society. We also aim to give profound practical training in Clinical Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counseling. The goal is to train Psychologists as possible with a special focus on traumatherapeutic approaches with a strong integration of traditional Cambodian cultural ways and forms of support. Via this it will provide knowhow and capacities to meet the Cambodian population's needs for psychoeducation, for psychological understanding and help via psychotherapeutic approaches such as individual or group therapy or counseling. The acquired knowledge and skills that students obtain in our master program will be extremely useful for a wide variety of employment settings and careers.
