Reports an error in "APA-accredited predoctoral internships for doctoral training in psychology: 1996" by (American Psychologist, 1996[Dec], Vol 51[12], 1287-1305). In the original article, Central Louisiana State Hospital was incorrectly listed under Programs Withdrawing From Accreditation at the End of Training Year 1995-1996 on page 1305. The correct listing is provided in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1996-06917-011.) Lists the agencies whose predoctoral internship training programs in psychology were accredited by the American Psychological Association's (APA's) Committee on Accreditation. For each program, the date of accreditation and the date for the next regularly scheduled site visit are listed. Programs listed as accredited have been judged by the Committee to be consistent substantively and procedurally with the "Guidelines and Principles for Accreditation of Programs in Professional Psychology" in a satisfactory manner. (A correction concerning this article appears in American Psychologist, 1997[Jan], Vol 52[1], 31. On page 1305, Central Louisiana State Hospital was incorrectly listed under "Programs withdrawing from acceditation at the end of training year 1995–1996." It should have been included in the list of APA-accedited professional internships.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Correction to "Accredited Doctoral Programs" List (2003).

The list of "Accredited Doctoral Programs in Professional Psychology: 2003" (American Psychologist, 2003, Vol. 58, No. 12, pp. 1067-1080) contained an error. On page 1074, the University of Southern California is incorrectly identified (Footnote 7) as no longer admitting students to its doctoral program in clinical psychology. This is not the case. However, the University of Southern California is no longer admitting students to its doctoral program in counseling psychology (listed on page 1078), and the program is being phased out. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 2008-06168-001.) This is the official listing of accredited doctoral programs. It reflects all committee decisions through June 29, 2003. This list also is provided by electronic means (http://www.apa.org/ed/accreditation/doctoral.html), but that listing is for informational purposes only and should not be used for official credential review. The APA Committee on Accreditation has accredited the doctoral training programs in the traditional substantive areas of clinical, counseling, school, or combined professional-scientific psychology representing two or more of those areas listed alphabetically below by their host institutions..

Diagnostician, EdS, and PhD programs for school psychologists in Michigan: A correction and an addition.

Reports an error in "State Certification of School Psychologists" by Walter L. Hodges (American Psychologist, 1960[June], Vol 15, 346-349; see record 1961-02947-001). In Table 1 on page 347, for the University of Michigan, items are listed incorrectly. This article provides the corrections, and points out the rather effective compromise on the much debated problem of teacher certification and teaching experience. We believe that there are two good routes to becoming a school psychologist, one through psychology and the other through education, but course work is necessary in both. We now have a new academic degree, Specialist in Education (EdS), awarded by the Graduate School of the University of Michigan. This requires the completion of a carefully prepared program of studies leading to specific occupational opportunities. We do not refer to those who complete the diagnostician or EdS program as school psychologists, however they may be designated by employing institutions. We reserve this title for those who have completed the doctorate. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"Reputation, halo, and ratings of counseling programs": Erratum.

Reports an error in the original article by R. W. Thoreson et al (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1975[Sep], Vol 22[5], 446-450). On page 448, an error appears in Table 1. George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee, is incorrectly listed as George Peabody University. It should also have an asterisk to indicate that the program was an APA-approved program in counseling psychology at the time the data for the study were collected. Peabody continues to have an accredited program under a new category called "Programs in Combined Scientific-Professional Psychology," which is characterized by a combination of "clinical, counseling, and school psychology." (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1975-31894-001.) Tested the hypothesis that previous ratings of programs in psychology reflect both an experimental psychology and general institutional halo bias. A questionnaire similar to one used in an earlier study of graduate programs by H. D. Roose and C. J. Andersen (1970) was used to survey the responses of 598 professionals in the field of counseling psychology. Respondents were furnished with a listing of 70 doctoral programs in counseling psychology and other closely related programs and were asked to rate each of the programs. It was found that applied programs in counseling psychology received ratings that differed from overall ratings of psychology in general. Programs ranked as strong, good, and adequate are listed. Ratings were related to institutional halo, program age, rater knowledge of program, geographic location, and approved status by the American Psychological Association. Implications for program evaluation are discussed, and users of reputational ratings are cautioned about the need for supplemental information.

A comment on the quality principles.

The 1991 conference on undergraduate education in psychology, held at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's City, Maryland, resulted in two documents that are relevant to anyone concerned with undergraduate education in psychology. The large proportion of students who major in psychology underscore the importance of how psychology is taught to undergraduates. The Quality Principles, one of the documents generated by the conference, is a blueprint for innovation and change in undergraduate education. The Quality Principles are contained in this article. Principles for quality undergraduate psychology programs and steering committee members of the APA National Conference on Enhancing the Quality of Undergraduate Education in Psychology are appended. [A correction to this article was published in the American Psychologist, Vol 51(4), April 1996, page 370. The correction notice provides the names of 2 individuals that were listed in Appendix B incorrectly.] (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
