I feel kinda fortunate, as in my program we're getting equal time in training for psychodynamic, CBT, strict behavioral, family, group, and phenomenological/existential/client-centered (we also do side trainings in Alderian and interpersonal). It's really helped, because it's allowed me to mix them into a conglomerate of methods that seem to work for my clients.
I think part of it may be that it is a Psy.D. - we still do as much (or more) research in comparison to many Ph.D. programs, but the priorities are on ensuring we can make an informed decision about theoretical orientation and practice. The "empirically validated treatment" perspective is highlighted, but we are also exposed to many faculty members who roll their eyes and share their pre-managed-care practices. It's nice :-).
If you want a list of some texts we've used, I'd be happy to share!
