Clinical Neuropsychology - Adler School of Professional Psychology

Clinical Neuropsychology from Adler School of Professional Psychology is a Campus Master Clinical Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. A Clinical Neuropsychologist is a professional psychologist who applies principles of assessment and intervention based upon the scientific study of human behavior as it relates to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. The Clinical Neuropsychologist is a doctoral-level psychology provider of diagnostic and intervention services who has demonstrated competence in the application of such principles for human welfare following: * Successful completion of systematic didactic and experiential training in neuropsychology and neuroscience at a regionally accredited university; * Two or more years of appropriate supervised training applying neuropsychological service in a clinical setting; * Licensing and concentration to provide psychological services to the public by the laws of the state or province in which he or she lives; and * Review by one's peers as a test of these competencies. The Concentration/Certificate in Clinical Neuropsychology was developed following the guidelines set forth by Division 40 of the American Psychological Association. Its requirements are continually under examination and revisions are expected. The Concentration/Certificate is designed to provide doctoral students with the opportunity to develop a solid competence and proficiency in clinical neuropsychology. For Adler School's doctoral students, completion of the Concentration in Clinical Neuropsychology, in conjunction with the Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, prepares graduates to complete advanced work (i.e., postdoctoral fellowship), leading to careers in clinical neuropsychology and to board certification. Note that a year of post-doctoral training is required for licensure as a psychologist in most states and provinces. In addition, graduates are expected to continue training on a post-doctoral level and to acquire additional supervised clinical experience to increase both general and subspecialty neuropsychology competencies. Current national guidelines recommend that students complete a two-year post-doctoral residency in neuropsychology following the completion of this program. Licensed clinical psychologists admitted to the program will receive a Concentration in Clinical Neuropsychology. View more details on Adler School of Professional Psychology .
