I was offered a spot there when I applied a few years back but decided to go else where. I can only speak what I gathered from the interview. They have fairly strong psychodynamic orientation but they do teach CBT and other orientations. The research side to me appeared to be a little lacking when speaking to other students. However the students did state that if you wanted to do research, the faculty was very supportive. I think the lack of research stems from a lot of the faculty being tenured and UD-Mercy not really being a research institution. Overall, I believe it has a good reputation. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.
