About

The William Alanson White Institute offers qualifying postdoctoral level psychologists and advanced externs who are near completion of their doctorate a half-time (20-hour) Fellowship at the Institute’s Clinic. At our outpatient clinic, in operation for over seventy-five years, we treat a wide range of patients at affordable fees.
