Integrative Psychology Statement


The Center for Integrative Psychology
at Alliant International University is a community think-tank for assessing current needs and supporting a future-directed psychology.

The Center collaborates with the California School of Professional Psychology’s Psy.D. Program, which provides doctoral candidates the opportunity to pursue Integrative interests within an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited graduate training program that provides the degree requirements and practicum/internship towards licensure.

Integrative Psychology emphasizes the interdependence of social, cultural, physical, spiritual and psychological dynamics. Studying “wholeness and health” from a systems perspective combines innovative science with traditional healing wisdoms and new paradigms of social evolution.

The Center’s community programs honor diversity by integrating ecological, philosophical, spiritual, aesthetic, cultural and scientific ways of knowing. The Center’s programs emphasize agency for positive social change.
