This article reports the results of a national survey on the practices of state vocational rehabilitation agencies with regard to purchase and utilization of psychological consultation services from private psychologists. A letter was sent to each of the 5(:' state vocational rehabilitation agencies requesting information on nine points. Forty-four states responded. While it is common procedure for state agencies to purchase private psychological services, the criteria governing service contracts, standards, and fees vary considerably. The survey data revealed that state agencies vary with regard to standards and methods of selection, qualification, and performance of psychologists. Information regarding the numbers of clients and psychologists involved, and the total amount of monies spent for psychological consultant services was obtained from approximately one-third of the responding states and was found to vary widely from state to state. It is likely that some of the influencing factors accounting for the large discrepancies are the size of the state agency, the rehabilitation case loads, the availability of public and private psychologists, and interagency cooperativeness.
