Abstract
At present there is no consensus on standards for training clinical child psychologists (as distinct from training clinical psychologists in general). This presents a dilemma for the student who wants to become a child clinician. How can such a student select the best school to attend? The lack of consensus also makes it difficult for faculty and clinical supervisors who are attempting to provide relevant graduate, internship, or postdoctoral training. This chapter reviews the literature on clinical child training and presents some new data on the current members of the Section on Clinical Child Psychology, where they were trained, and on the long-term relative quality of some graduate training programs.
