Abstract

Calls from the psychological literature have highlighted a need for the integration of social justice training in APA-accredited internships in professional psychology. This article presents an example of how foundational principles of social justice can be integrated into predoctoral internships. The authors identified foundational principles of social justice from the literature and applied them to training, using the internship at the University of California San Diego's Psychological and Counseling Services as a case example. Ways in which these principles have shaped trainees, learning activities, and trainee perspectives are presented. Finally, recommendations for integration of these principles for teaching psychology trainees are underscored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
