6 SET 2026 · This guide expands the provided material into a structured, exam-ready resource. Each major concept includes an expanded definition, a simplified explanation accessible to a 16-year-old, and a detailed clinical or research example relevant to EPPP decision-making.
Telepsychology is not a casual substitute for in-person care. The same APA Ethics Code applies, alongside additional responsibilities involving technology, client location, and crisis response. Informed consent must be tailored to virtual care and revisited as needed, rather than simply copied from an office-based consent form.
Clinicians must use technology that meets applicable privacy and security requirements, including HIPAA requirements when relevant. This involves evaluating encryption, platform settings, and whether a Business Associate Agreement is required. The suitability of a platform depends on its configuration, contractual protections, and applicable law, rather than its name alone.
As a general rule, psychologists must be authorized to practice where the client is physically located at the time of service. PSYPACT can expand that authority when the participating jurisdictions and the psychologist’s credentials meet its requirements. Remote practice also requires a written emergency plan that addresses the client’s current location, local crisis resources, and the steps to take if the connection drops during a high-risk situation.
Competence under Standard 2.01 includes knowing how to use the technology and recognizing when legal, ethical, or security concerns make its use inappropriate. Psychologists must understand the limits of their authority to practice across state lines and the risks of using unsecured tools. Email, texting, social media, cloud storage, AI tools, wearables, and apps introduce additional concerns about privacy, access to information, and data ownership that must be evaluated, disclosed as appropriate, and managed.
Telepsychology expands access to care while introducing substantial ethical and legal complexity. For EPPP preparation, the central issue is not simply whether a psychologist can operate a virtual platform, but whether they understand the professional responsibilities that accompany its use.

30 AGO 2026 · This EPPP study episode breaks down the four primary lobes of the brain — frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital — and the core functions tested on exam day. It covers the key structures and lesion effects most likely to show up on multiple-choice items, with an eye toward how neuroanatomy connects to conditions like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. A quick, focused review designed to lock in the neuroanatomy basics before moving into more applied biopsychology content.

24 AGO 2026 · Clinical records are more than paperwork—they are essential tools for ethical practice, continuity of care, and professional risk management. This episode reviews the EPPP essentials of clinical documentation, including HIPAA privacy and security, record retention, psychotherapy notes, client access, telehealth, high-risk clients, and court-involved cases. Clinical examples throughout the episode show how these principles apply to real-world practice while helping you recognize the kinds of scenarios likely to appear on the EPPP.

17 AGO 2026 · Test your knowledge of developmental psychology with five EPPP-style practice questions covering Piaget, Erikson, attachment, identity development, and aging. Each question uses a clinical or real-world vignette designed to help you recognize the clues the EPPP may use to distinguish closely related concepts. Detailed explanations connect the correct answer to both EPPP test-taking strategy and clinical practice.

16 AGO 2026 · Master the essential legal and ethical frameworks required for the EPPP, focusing on mandatory reporting protocols for child, elder, and dependent adult abuse. This episode breaks down the critical boundaries between clinical instincts and statutory duties, including the reasonable suspicion standard, immunity protections, and the duty to protect under Tarasoff. Learn how to navigate high-yield exam edge cases—such as past abuse disclosures and group therapy dynamics—while upholding ethical standards and client safety.

3 AGO 2026 · This structured EPPP study guide provides expanded definitions, simplified explanations accessible to a 16-year-old, and clinically relevant examples for the core principles of confidentiality and its limits. It systematically covers mandatory exceptions (duty to protect/warn, mandated reporting, court orders), discretionary exceptions (consent, billing, consultation, supervision), and special considerations for minors, families, groups, and organizational clients. Emphasis is placed on informed consent, thorough documentation, state-law variability, and ethical decision-making under APA Standards 4.01–4.06 to support precise exam performance.

27 LUG 2026 · This episode covers the Ethical/Legal/Professional Issues domain, sixteen percent of the EPPP and one of the most heavily weighted sections on the exam. We move through the five general principles, the enforceable standards that get tested most, a structured ethical decision-making model, and the risk management realities of digital practice. Every bolded concept gets a real clinical example so you’re not just memorizing rules, you’re learning the reasoning underneath them.

20 LUG 2026 · This episode breaks down the experimental design content the EPPP loves to test — independent and dependent variables, randomization, blinding, and the specialized designs like Solomon Four-Group and Latin Square. We walk through every threat to internal validity, from history to regression to the mean, and translate each one into a real psychology example you can hold onto in the exam room. This is clarity of thinking, not memorization, built one design element at a time.

13 LUG 2026 · This episode breaks down meta-analysis and systematic review methodology exactly as the EPPP tests it, from PICO frameworks to publication bias correction. Listeners get real-world psychology examples anchoring each statistical concept, from CBT outcome research to psychopharmacology trials. The episode closes with two practice questions modeled on actual exam item construction.
