The oldest and most distinguished board for psychologists is the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). Board certification in forensic psychology by ABPP has been recognized by judicial decisions, regulations, and statutes in some jurisdictions as the standard for competency in the professional practice of forensic psychology. Successful candidates must have accumulated one thousand hours of qualifying experience in forensic psychology over a minimum of a four year period, received one hundred hours of qualifying specialized training in forensic psychology, passed an examination that focuses on eight forensic areas, submitted two practice samples for review by Board Certified Examiners, and passed a three hour oral examination by Board Certified Examiners. The conferral of the Diploma in Forensic Psychology from ABPP attests that the recipient has undergone a rigorous, comprehensive peer review process and that “an established organization of peers has certified the Diplomate as possessing a high level of professional competence and maturity, with the ability to articulate an explicit and coherent rationale for his or her work in forensic psychology.” To learn more about board certification, visit www.abfp.com.
