| Abstract: | Surveyed the directors of 230 predoctoral internship programs in clinical and counseling psychology about the nature of clinical neuropsychological experiences provided at the internship site, training in neuropsychological batteries, information about providers, and availability of formal postdoctoral training. Of the 170 programs responding, 117 indicated that they offered some form of training in clinical neuropsychology. The most common format for this training was the seminar. Findings show that while there is continued demand for clinical neuropsychology training opportunities, the programs' present structure and limited training opportunities are not likely to produce competent practitioners. Although formal postdoctoral experiences were a major recommendation of the International Neuropsychological Association (INS) training guidelines, positions were limited.
