title: Expanding our Reach: Telehealth and Licensure Implications for Psychologists.
abstract: This article discusses the background and history of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Board's (ASPPB) Principles and Standards for Telepsychology. The Principles/Standards are described with comments on each one as they apply to the practice of telepsychology, and with a guide on how they coordinate with the American Psychological Association's Guidelines for the Practice of Telepsychology. Further, barriers to the interjurisdictional practice of telepsychology are reviewed and a proposed solution to them is presented. The ASPPB psychology interjurisdictional compact, known as the PSYPACT is in process of being introduced as an effective vehicle for addressing these barriers.
