To study type and amount of training in geropsychology available to students in APA‐approved doctoral programs in clinical and counseling psychology, a questionnaire was mailed to all such programs in 1984. Response rate was 71 of 132 (59%) for clinical programs and 27 of 37 (73%) for counseling programs. Very little difference was found between responses of clinical and counseling programs and between this 1984 survey and one conducted in 1975‐76. There seems to be a very small increase in training opportunities for psychology students in geropsychology in 1984 at the doctoral level.
