Abstract
This article briefly traces the history of psychology internship training to its central role in professional training in counseling psychology. Current issues are discussed, including supply and demand, increased applicant costs, timing of internship, and escalation of practicum training hours. Future considerations are outlined, including point of licensure, length of training, postdoctoral training, and preparation of students to meet demands of the next biennium. Training for the full range of human diversity and creating new employment opportunities for counseling psychologists are emphasized.Keywords
