MENTORSHIP The clinical psychology program at Drexel University operates on a co-mentorship system such that each entering student is assigned to a pair of mentors. Drs. Evan Forman and James Herbert make up one such mentorship team, and, since 2001, have been working together to supervise and train students, engage in collaborative research endeavors, write grants, and publish chapters and scholarly papers. The co-mentorship process works especially well in this case because Drs. Herbert and Forman share a majority of their interests and research foci. Students participate in projects that are based in Dr. Herbert’s lab, projects based in Dr. Forman’s lab, and projects that are primarily joint enterprises, and enjoy the advantage of being advised by both mentors on matters relating to their thesis, dissertation, manuscript preparation and professional development.
Note that Drs. Herbert and Forman generally admit one doctoral student and one-two
masters students per year as mentees. Applications are now being accepted
for the 2008 - 2009 year.
