This compendium revises key aspects of telepsychology guidelines and provides resources, suggesting improvements for psychologists' practice.
Originally conceptualized as eight guidelines within the American Psychological Association's (APA's) 2013 Guidelines for the Practice of Telepsychology, field evolution and advancement in research necessitated revision. The 2024 APA Guidelines for the Practice of Telepsychology revised, updated, and expounded upon the original document to yield 11 guidelines focusing on competence of the psychologist; informed consent; data security, management, and transmission; data disposal; documentation; interjurisdictional practice; clinical best practices; testing and assessment; emergencies; supervision/training; and emerging technologies. The document aimed to guide psychologist's practices through broad discussions of relevant competencies. However, the task force recognized that psychologists may also benefit from supplemental-specific information on application of the broad competencies. The current discussion is designed as a compendium, created to provide psychologists with specific examples of educational targets for knowledge acquisition to foster adherence to the 2024 APA Guidelines for the Practice of Telepsychology. Resources for further learning of each guideline are also provided. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
