Please correct me if I'm wrong but I would like to know if clinical neuropsychology is a specialized branch of clinical psychology?
Cos I do realise that pay for clin neuropsychologist is higher than clinical psychologists.
of course I shouldn't look at the job status based on the salary but then neuroscience really is a very interesting area |

If I understand your question, then that's not quite right. In some cases, it's true that you'd learn more psych than neuropsych to start off, but other times you may start out with both. Also, in PhD programs, you would be looking for a neuropsych research advisor, and you'd start work with him/her from the get-go. I suggest that you poke around the graduate programs on the training links page on this site, that should give you an idea of what you're looking at.

Hello,
I am a 3rd year graduate student in the Neuroscience and Behavior program at Umass-Amherst. I actually study perceptual development in infants and how this relates to brain development. So although I am in a "Neuroscience" program I work in a developmental psychology lab. I didn't know anything about Neuropsychology when I began I just knew that I had an interest in the brain. Now I am hearing more and more about Neuropsychology and I find it very interesting, especially since my dissertation work involves prefrontal cortex tasks that are often used in clinical settings. Is there no hope for me since I won't have a PhD in clinical psychology? Must I give up all hopes of working in the area of Neuropsychology?
