Possible examples of the projects include: Person-centered therapy, Psychodynamics therapy, Humanistic & Existential Psychotherapies, Behavior therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Child & Family therapy, Couple therapy, Psychopharmacology, etc.
The topic could be a specific issues in clinical psychology other than intervention, but those who wants to do so must consult myself in advance.
