NCSPP - National Council of School and Programs of Professional Psychology / Resources

Resources

NCSPP has led the way in identifying critical issues in Professional Psychology. NCSPP has created a set of committees to collect, organize, and study these issues and has instituted an annual mid-winter training conference to bring delegates from NCSPP member schools and programs together for discussion of new developments in training, scholarship, and practice. The papers presented at these conferences have served as the foundation for several landmark publications on Professional Psychology. Below are links to additional resources that provide more detailed descriptions of the thinking and techniques developed by NCSPP school and program faculty and administrators on topics related to training in professional Psychology.

NCSPP also has a resource area where folders containing files important to the work of NCSPP committees are stored. These folders can be accessed at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NCSPP_Res/
