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 psychologists from all specialty areas who have an interest in clinical and experimental neuropsychology are welcome. Neuropsychology is known for its multidisciplinary nature because it cuts across so many areas in psychology and the health sciences. 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. As examples, the Division has been actively involved in legislative and professional practice issues regarding AMA's CPT codes for testing. We have also been active in supporting the use of supervised technicians in neuropsychological practice. 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.
