A Doctor of Behavioral Health Degree (DBH) is a professional doctorate that prepares individuals to practice physical and mental health care in the United States. It is offered by three institutions: the Cummings Graduate Institute of Behavioral Health Studies[1], which is accredited by DEAC[2], Arizona State University[3], which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission[4], and Freed–Hardeman University.[5]
History[edit]
The DBH originated in the United States. The degree was developed by Nick Cummings, Ph.D, a past president of the American Psychological Association.[6] He wrote about his vision for the degree in his book Refocused Psychotherapy.[7] The youngest person in the United States to be awarded a doctoral degree, Dorothy Jean Tillman II, has a DBH.[8][9]
Curriculum[edit]
The DBH degree is built on three pillars: Medical Literacy, Integrated Behavioral Health Interventions, and Entrepreneurship.[10]. Students must complete training in all three areas and complete a culminating project in order to be awarded the degree. The culminating project is an applied integrated care project, done in lieu of a dissertation, that demonstrates a students ability to innovate in the integrated care field and the ability to respond creatively to unmet healthcare needs.[10]
