Adelphi University Derner Institute
The Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies is internationally recognized for the extensive range of degree programs that reflect its ongoing commitment to scholarship, research and practice. The Derner Institute strives for the development of a culturally competent psychological model for psychodynamic psychology. All programs are situated in a broad based psychological setting within a broader cultural or societal context–connecting to other fields, with applications to the problems of the individual psyche, culture, and society.
The Derner Institute educates students in the discipline of psychology–one that is grounded in both the social and natural sciences; and committed to scholarship, research, and practice. We provide students at all levels with a rigorous, empirically informed education in psychology that prepares them to be lifelong learners and well-trained professionals with a broad psychological foundation as well as specific perspectives.
