Preface
and Foreword
Licensure
of persons in Louisiana representing themselves to the public as
psychologists and regulation of the practice of psychology is the
responsibility of the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Act 347
of the 1964 Legislature, specifying the duties and powers of the board, as
well as the requirements for licensure, has been codified as R. S.
37:2351-2367.
With the
exception of some individuals licensed under the “grandfather clause” of
the law, licensure indicates that an individual has met the legal
requirements of age, citizenship, and residency, holds the doctoral degree
in psychology from a school or college recognized by the board, has passed
the prescribed written and oral examinations for licensure, and has
completed at least two years of post-doctoral experience practicing under
the supervision of a qualified psychologist.
