THE DEPARTMENT
Psychology at the Masters level was introduced in Delhi University in 1957 under the Department of Philosophy and Psychology. The Department of Psychology as an independent department was established in 1964 under the headship of Prof. H.C. Ganguli. The Department of Psychology has two units, one at the Main Campus and the other at the South Campus. At the Main Campus the courses offered are M.A. Psychology, and Ph.D. The unit at the South Campus, established in 1981, offers courses in Applied Psychology at Masters level only. In recognition of its achievements in teaching and research, the University Grants Commission (UGC) identified this Department as Department of Special Assistance (DSA) in 1989. The two thrust areas identified are Cognitive Psychology and Applied Social Psychology. Two phases of the DSA Programme (10 Years) have been completed. The Department has a total strength of 14 teaching faculty out of which currently there are 6 Professors, 5 Readers and 3 Lecturers. This includes two readers and one lecturer in the Applied Psychology Unit at the South Delhi Campus. The teaching and research programme is supported by the technical staff at different levels. We have the best laboratories in India and perhaps in Asia. Apart from the Student Laboratory, meant for the practicum work of the students at the masters level, we have a few research labs, equipped with necessary amenities. We also have a technologically up-to-date seminar room, which facilitates interactions with experts from the field. Presently the best and latest technology gadgets have been procured and set up to enhance the teaching and research activities. Our curriculum at the Masters level includes computer-assisted experiments. At the Main Campus, the Department offers the facility of Counseling and Psychotherapy for the benefit of students, teachers, and other university and college employees. The clinic is useful for those who seek psychological intervention as well as for our students who derive invaluable practical experience. The center is being looked after by the teachers specializing in clinical psychology and the supporting staff.

Another service provided by the Department is for the benefit of industries and organizations. Faculty from the Department is actively involved in providing training and other services to various organizations. The Department also has expertise in dealing with problems associated with stress and health, ageing, drug abuse, community mental health, disability, neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, etc. A number of our students have been absorbed by different organizations/ hospitals dealing with these issues. From time to time, the Department organizes Conferences, Seminars, Refresher Course, Workshops, etc. for the benefit of faculty and students. It has hostedthe Indian Science Congress Sessions thrice as well as an International Conference and various National Level Conferences. The Department has organized conferences on Cognitive Psychology, Quality of Life, Human Resource Development. Culture and Psychology, Health Psychology, Affect, Identity and Discourse, Puzzles of Perception and on Indian Psychology. In addition, many research projects have also been undertaken. Most of the faculty members have been abroad for higher studies, and to attend and participate in International conferences. University of Delhi has signed an International Memorandum of Agreement with the University of California, and in the exchange programme in Psychology, students from U.S.A study in the department, and the students of this department may also study in Calfornia University. For a fast developing discipline like Psychology, it is imperative to restructure the resources from time to time to keep pace with the latest developments around the world. The M.A. Psychology and Applied Psychology Courses include the latest trends in Psychology, with emphasis on practical training and field work. The courses lay special emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge and skills through theoretical understanding and its practical implications. In addition to lecturing as the primary mode of instruction, teaching is also interactive with due emphasis on seminar, presentations and discussion.
