Positive Developmental Psychology program @ Claremont Graduate University, thoughts, feedback, experiences?
I’m looking to get some feedback about this program and possibly some suggestions of guidance for a potentially new student. Any tips, referrals or advice pertaining to the program or research in this program? I wouldn’t mind hearing about personal experiences here as well. Thanks!
I am interested in hearing about the quality of the program. I am not worried about my work in the field I will find my way. My ultimate goal is to be a writer of some sort rather than a clinical psychologist. I am interested in pioneering new innovative perspectives in the field and I personally love psycho-social theory. From what I understand the specific field of “positive psychology” is fairly new and is under development so is not offered at many universities, although I am doing more research on this as we speak.
Thanks for your feedback it is appreciated!

The name CLAREMONT speaks for it’s self.
My Psychology education was a private one in Sacramento and I changed careers after three years of practicing, so…tips, referrals?
During the course of my education I found special interest in transactional analysis which you will find a hidden stage of development course there (TI) that will play a significant role in many different areas of your life there after.
Being an accomplished writer today proves to show that my personal endeavors from the past were based from different levels or phases that I passes after the stages that you will pass through after graduate school. My chosen endeavor just happen to be in the film department (writing & casting) so I ended up at UCLA film for a semester before things took off there.
Hope what little I shared may have shed some light, then again you caught me after hours of working on an adaptation, so…just go for it, you’re the only one that truly knows.
