Minnesota Sex Offender Program Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology
The Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) offers a psychology doctoral internship program for students completing their doctoral degree from counseling, clinical and forensic psychology programs.
MSOP serves people who are court-ordered to receive sex offender treatment. Clients are admitted to MSOP after being civilly committed by the court as a sexually dangerous person or a sexual psychopathic personality or both. The most common primary diagnoses are paraphilias and personality disorders. In addition, many clients have primary or secondary diagnoses of substance use, borderline intellectual functioning and mood disorders.
