Mandated topics

Ethics — 6 hPsyc 402.02: at least 6 of 40 hours in ethics, from Category A, and taken in a LIVE and INTERACTIVE format

Home study: At least 30 of 40 hours must be Category A; no more than 10 hours may be Category B (Psyc 402.02). The 6 ethics hours cannot be self-study (must be live/interactive). Provider summaries commonly cite up to ~20 self-study hours; the rule caps Category B at 10.

Board notes: NH Board of Psychologists, Psyc 402.02 (40 hrs biennially). Ethics is the only mandated subject (no suicide-prevention mandate for psychologists), and the 6 ethics hours must be Category A AND delivered in a live and interactive format. This makes live-interactive required = 6, the key difference from the mental-health-practice licenses.
