The present article marks the 60th anniversary of Duquesne University's Department of Psychology PhD program by summarizing developments over the past 30 years. The Duquesne program, the first of its kind in American psychology to articulate the principles of psychology as a human science, has seen both stability and change as the scholarship and teaching of its founding members have been built upon and elaborated by a second generation of faculty. Beginning with a description of the challenges faced by the program in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the author outlines advances that led to the American Psychological Association accreditation of the Department's clinical psychology PhD program. The contributions of newer faculty are discussed with respect to the theorists drawn upon and methodologies employed in further articulating psychology as a human science. The program's accomplishments are presented in terms of the research and praxis that follow from its human science paradigm. Improvements in the support structures provided to graduate students are also detailed, as are the impacts of these changes on the program's clinical and research training as well as student academic progress. Examples of scholarship by current faculty are cited, and the forthcoming transition to a third generation of faculty is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
