“…Using a psychometrist in the field of neuropsychology has been an established standard for more than three decades (DeLuca, 1989). Brodsky and Mixon (1969) reported that 16.5% of clinical psychology service providers surveyed used psychometrists and noted that ''a growing role is being established in clinical psychology for the psychological technician'' (p. 223). By 1986, 50% of survey respondents stated that they used psychometrists in their practice (Serenty, Dean, Gray, & Hartlage, 1986).…”

In recent years, the National Academy of Neuropsychology and other professional neuropsychological organizations have published a number of articles and position papers regarding the use, education, and training of psychometrists ("technicians"). Although these documents provide guidelines for the suggested qualifications and training procedures of psychometrists, none make any mention of the need for a standardized credentialing process, which is commonly required of technicians in similar fields, especially in medical settings. Given the recent changes in current procedural Terminology codes used to bill for neuropsychological services and the interpretation of legislation disallowing the use of psychometrists in New York, the need for a standard credential for psychometrists is apparent. This article will review the history and current use of psychometrists in clinical neuropsychology and highlight the need and rationale for the credentialing of psychometrists.

Reports results from 240 questionnaires requesting information on staff size and salary schedules of agency clinical psychology programs in the United States. The median number of staff members in these clinical psychology departments was found to be 15. Of these, 6 was the median number at the PhD level. Bachelor-level technicians were found to be more extensively utilized in the South and Midwest than in the East or West. The median beginning annual salary for a PhD clinical psychologist was $13,437, and for a PhD with 10 or more yr. of experience, the median was $20,500. The median salary for interns was $7,055, and the beginning salary for employees at the master level was $8,582. The median PhD-to-patient ratio was 1:189, and the median psychology staff-to-patient ratio was 1:73. The American Psychological Association (APA)-approved departments were found to have more advantageous staff-to-patient ratios. A great increase in salaries for psychology personnel over the past years was noted. Possible reasons for the finding that salaries tended to be higher in the agencies which did not have APA-approved clinical internship programs were also presented.
