About SCAPTP
The Southern California Association of Psychology Training Programs (SCAPTP) is an association of psychology graduate programs, internships, postdoctoral programs, and practicum programs. Our purpose is to promote excellence in psychology training at all levels, by providing opportunities to: 1) share concerns and problems in training, as well as useful training approaches and methods, 2) to adopt mutual procedures of benefit, 3) to support the development of training opportunities and programs for psychologists and their trainees, and 4) to give input as a group to other bodies whose actions affect psychology training, including the American Psychological Association, the Association of Psychology Post-doctoral and Internship Programs, the California Psychological Association, the California Board of Psychology, and the California Psychology Internship Council (CAPIC).
SCAPTP was formed in 1996 as a voluntary association of representatives of Southern California psychology graduate programs in regionally accredited institutions, as well as psychology internships and post-doctoral programs meeting APPIC standards. Member representatives of area programs meet on a regular schedule to support high quality training, share program information and training ideas, provide issue-specific support and promote mutual problem-solving.
