The Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology is responsible for regulating the practice of psychology through licensure, registration, certification and discipline of those engaged in the practice of psychology in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Board regulates psychologists, as well as the unlicensed practice of psychology. Under this authority, it is the role of the Board to determine on a case-by-case basis whether a professional under its jurisdiction engaged in immoral or unprofessional conduct by departing from, or failing to conform to, an ethical or quality standard of the profession. All Pennsylvania licensees are reminded to review the requirements of professional licensure as set forth in the Practice Act and Board Regulations to aid in their good faith clinical judgment to provide patient care that is consistent with the standards of acceptable and prevailing practice.
