The Psychological Services for Youth Clinic (PSYC) is a full-service, state-of-the-science comprehensive research, training, and clinical services facility for youth housed within the larger Psychological Services Center on the campus of Louisiana State University (LSU). It was founded by Dr. Tom Davis III in the fall of 2005 and was originally called the “Anxiety Disorders Clinic at LSU.” Over time, however, it became apparent that the name did not adequately represent the broader spectrum of difficulties the clinic routinely assesses, treats, and researches (i.e., many difficulties beyond problems with anxiety like ADHD, depression, parenting issues, autism, etc.), and the name began to be confusing given the addition of other clinical faculty in the Department of Psychology (including others who research anxiety). As a result, the name was changed in the fall of 2008 to PSYC. While this new name better reflects our breadth and ability to assess, treat, and research a variety of child and adolescent disorders, we still retain a specialized focus on child and adolescent anxiety treatment and assessment research. This continuing emphasis is best realized through the continuing work of Dr. Davis’ research lab, the Laboratory for Anxiety, Phobia, and Internalizing Disorder Studies (LAPIS). While PSYC is the clinical arm of Dr. Davis’ work, LAPIS is the research arm focusing on child, adolescent, and young adult anxiety research projects. Since Dr. Davis founded LAPIS in the fall of 2005, it has grown under his direction to currently have several affiliated faculty, 6 current graduate student clinicians, and several undergraduate research assistants. Through the research and training provided by PSYC and LAPIS, Dr. Davis has been able to mentor, advise, and instruct over a dozen doctoral students in clinical psychology and over 50 undergraduate students (many of whom have been successful in subsequent applications to graduate schools themselves). |
