Founder of Caribbean Center For Advanced Studies
In 1966, he stopped teaching in the university and established in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the first independent professional school of psychology in North America, initially known as the "Instituto Psicológico de Puerto Rico" (Puerto Rican Institute of Psychology) which is modeled after the institutes of psychology in Europe where the practice and internship are done at the same time. In 1971, the institute was renamed "Centro Caribeño de Estudios Postgraduados" (Caribbean Center for Advanced Studies). In 1980, Albizu Miranda moved to Miami, Florida and opened a sister campus as the Miami Institute of Psychology.
Albizu Miranda also published several written works with a special emphasis on cross-cultural issues in mental health training and service delivery. Among his written works are "A Training Model for Minority Psychologists" and "Psychological Concomitants of Poverty."
