Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, the Division of Clinical Neuropsychology, is a scientific and professional organization of psychologists interested in the study of brain-behavior relationships, and the clinical application of that knowledge to human problems. Division 40 promotes the use of scientific research to develop its knowledge base and clinical techniques. It is active in the development and promotion of quality standards of professional training and practice.


Welcome to the webpage for the Neuropsychology Division (40) of APA. Our membership is varied and we welcome psychologists from all specialty areas who have an interest in clinical and experimental neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is known for its multidisciplinary nature because it cuts across so many areas in psychology and the health sciences. We hope to hear your voice on issues that are challenging our specialty and the discipline of psychology. The Division is unique among neuropsychological organizations in having the political resources and expertise of APA behind us and in being able to influence APA's agenda. This means that we can be heard on issues that affect our professional and scientific interests and join with others to help effect changes. As examples, the Division has been actively involved in legislative and professional practice initiatives including AMA ‘s CPT codes for testing and the use of supervised technicians in neuropsychology practice. We are working on advancing our agenda in the realms of science, practice, funding, and education. We have been successful in developing a number of new research funding opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career professionals. We are currently at work on many other issues affecting the science and practice of clinical neuropsychology as a professional specialty. Please explore the website and learn about opportunities for you to advance your career. I hope that you decide to join our Division.
