Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
Licensure of persons in Louisiana representing themselves to
				the public as psychologists and regulation of the practice of psychology is the
				responsibility of the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Act 347 of the
				1964 Legislature, specifying the duties and powers of the board, as well as the
				requirements for licensure, has been codified as R. S. 37:2351-2367.
With the exception of some individuals licensed under the
				"grandfather clause" of the law, licensure indicates that an individual has met
				the legal requirements of age, citizenship, and residency, holds the doctoral
				degree in psychology from a school or college recognized by the board, has
				passed the prescribed written and oral examinations for licensure, and has
				completed at least two years of post-doctoral experience practicing under the
				supervision of a qualified psychologist.
In discharging its obligation to protect the public welfare,
				the board cooperates fully with official agencies of state government and the
				Professional Standards Review Committee of the Louisiana Psychological
				Association. Questions or complaints concerning any individual representing
				himself as a psychologist should be directed to the attention of the chairman
				of the board.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 46 - PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS › Part LXIII - Psychologists › Subpart 1 - General Provisions › Chapter 7 - Supervised Practice Leading toward Licensure › Section LXIII-701 - Preface

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. This Chapter
				  details reasonable minimal standards for supervised practice and establishes
				  that the legal, administrative and professional responsibility of supervision
				  rests with the licensed psychologist or medical psychologist licensed in
				  accordance with R.S. 27:1360.51 et seq., designated as supervisor.
B. The supervisory function serves a
				  multiplicity of purposes. Supervision provides guidance in administrative
				  issues in the practice setting, continues and expands education in skills,
				  offers emotional support, and provides evaluation for purposes of the
				  supervisee's growth, as well as administrative judgment relative to the
				  supervisee's capacity for autonomous professional function. The supervisor
				  assigns work, sets realistic standards for achievement and offers evaluation of
				  the supervisee's performance. The supervisor offers a perspective on the
				  relationship between the supervisee's assignment, the rest of the setting and
				  the facilities available outside of the setting in order that the supervisee's
				  professional procedures are intelligently placed within the context of all of
				  the systems affecting and influencing the client. In addition to all of this,
				  the supervisor must deal with those personal characteristics of the supervisee
				  which either enhance or interfere with work efficiency. The private actions and
				  behaviors of the supervisee which are not relevant to nor expressed in the work
				  setting shall not be dealt with in the supervisory relationship. The supervisor
				  shall limit supervision to those areas in which he/she has professional
				  expertise, as well as develop the specialized skills necessary to render
				  competent supervision.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
Continuing Professional Supervision
-the
					 ongoing training and oversight for the procedure furnished under the
					 psychologist's overall direction and control, including maintenance of the
					 necessary equipment and supplies. Supervision in this context does not require
					 the supervisor's presence during the performance of the procedure. However, the
					 supervisor shall be available to the supervisee in person during the time when
					 the supervisee is rendering professional services, or arrange the availability
					 of a qualified supervisor who is authorized to intervene with a client.
					 Exceptions to this provision must have prior approval by the board.
General Professional Supervision
-direct
					 supervisory contact with the supervisee. Supervision in this context includes
					 activities such as individual supervision, group supervision, specific case
					 discussion and management, skill training, and professional development and
					 review of the work completed by the supervisee.

				  are met, with no outstanding points of evaluation, and verified by the
				  degree-granting institution. Verification must occur via submission of a form
				  and process as delineated by the board. Credit shall not be granted for
				  practice that is in connection with the course work practicum experience for
				  which predoctoral graduate credits are granted.
2. To be credited toward the two years
				  full-time requirements each assignment in a setting or integrated program shall
				  be of at least 500 hours in duration and at least half-time for that setting or
				  integrated program. Supervised practice must be completed within five calendar
				  years, and for cause shown, the board may grant extensions.
3. Internship Programs. A predoctoral
				  internship shall be credited toward the required two years of supervised
				  experience if that experience was required as a part of the doctoral degree and
				  meets the board's requirements under LAC 46:LXIII.305.

				  undertaken by their supervisee in which they are offering supervision. Specific

				  established practice and teaching skills demonstrable to the satisfaction of
				  both the supervising psychologist and the supervisee.
C. The supervisor shall limit the number of
				  persons supervised so as to be certain to maintain a level of supervision and
				  practice consistent with professional standards ensuring the welfare of the
				  supervisee and the client.
D. The
				  supervisor may not supervise any more than two candidates for licensure at the
