Nagoya University Psychological Support & Research Center for Human Development was established in April 2001 by combining psychology and other closely related fields for comprehensive studies on the psychological development and relevant problems in children with a view to providing practical support to them. In April 2015, the Center was renamed to its current name with the intention to upgrade its research and practical application.
The three divisions, Psychological Development & Family, Psychology-Society Interaction, and Clinical Support, were established in the Center, and these divisions work together for education, research and practical application. The Psychological Counseling Room was created in the Center to provide counseling and consultation services for problems pertaining to psychological development to the general public, in response to the needs of local communities.
The Counseling Room also serves as a practicum training facility for graduate students in the clinical psychologist training course.
