The Institute for Clinical Social Work, or ICSW, was established in 1981 to provide practicing clinical social workers and other psychotherapists the opportunity to earn a Ph.D. without taking a break from their professional pursuits. Located in Chicago, ICSW is an accredited, independent school offering a doctoral program in clinical social work. In 2007, ICSW introduced a distance learning program that combines online coursework and occasional on-site workshops. ICSW launched a masters program in clinical counseling and psychotherapy in September, 2012. The ICSW community comprises more than 40 faculty members, 110 students, and 150 graduates.
