A need exists for criteria for training psychologists who work with children, youth, and families. Recognizing that the provision of competent services is directly related to training for those services, a set of recommendations was adopted by the Executive Committee of the Division on Child, Youth, and Family Services. This paper outlines these recommended experiences and coursework with their rationale for child development and lifespan developmental psychology, child and adult psychopathology, mental retardation and developmental disabilities; specialized child assessment techniques; child psychotherapy and behavior change; parent, family, and school intervention techniques; specialized clinical practice in child, parent, and family therapy; research methods in child psychology; ethics and legal issues related to children, youth, and families; and subspecialties within psychology for children, youth, and families. Examples of training programs meeting these recommended training criteria are discussed.
