Common Questions and Answers about Credentials ~ Back to Top
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BOARD CERTIFIED?
“The clearest and most responsible way for a psychologist to represent herself/himself to the public, third-parties, and the profession as a specialist is to be certified through an organized peer process as meeting the standards and demonstrating the competencies required in the specialty. American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) is the only non-profit professional unitary organization with multiple specialty board quality controls recognized by the profession as certifying specialty practioners in psychology.”
http://abpp.org/ Retrieved June 26, 2005 from the web site of the American Board of Professional Psychology.
HOW DOES A PSYCHOLOGIST BECOME A SPECIALIST?
“Board certification (awarding of a Diploma in a specialty) assures the public that specialists designated by the ABPP have successfully completed the educational, training, and experience requirements of the specialty, including an examination designed to assess the competencies required to provide quality services in that specialty. . . . A Specialty is a defined area in the practice of psychology that connotes special competency acquired through an organized sequence of formal education, training, and experience.”

WHAT DOES A CHILD ANALYST DO?
“Child Psychoanalysts are expert in many modalities of psychological treatment of children and adolescents and their families. Analysts may consult with the child's family or with the child or adolescent individually. In instances where a child's or adolescent's unconscious mental activity adversely affects his or her current functioning and ability to progress, psychoanalytic treatment can assist in discovering and mastering the inner obstacles, and past traumatic experiences.”

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A FELLOW?
“Fellows include some of the most prominent and visible leaders in Clinical Psychology. They are frequently department heads or supervisors, and may be engaged in research, training or clinical practice in a wide variety of settings including: hospitals, universities, the military, medical schools, correctional facilities, clinics and private practice. They have served as reviewers of quality of care for insurance companies as well as governmental third party payers. In recent years with the advent of managed care there has been an ever increasing demand for Fellows of the Academy as reviewers and providers of specialty mental health services.”
“There is a two step process in becoming a Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology. First, the psychologist must have significant clinical experience beyond what is required for state licensure and then satisfactorily complete a rigorous examination procedure resulting in becoming a board certified specialist in Clinical Psychology. With board certification the psychologist becomes eligible for membership as a Fellow of the Academy.”
