The California Board of Psychology dates back to 1958 when the first psychologists were certified in the State. The Board of Psychology is one of the regulatory entities which fall under the organizational structure of the Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Board consists of nine members (five licensed psychologists and four public members) who are appointed to the Board for four-year terms. Each member may serve a maximum of two full terms. The five licensed members and two of the public members are appointed by the Governor. One public member is appointed by the Senate Rules Committee, and one public member is appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly. Public members cannot be licensed by the Board of Psychology or by any other Department of Consumer Affairs healing arts board.
The Board of Psychology is funded through license, application, and examination fees. The Board receives no tax payer funds from the State of California.
