I've checked out the graduate psychology programs at many schools but they all seem to emphasize careers in research and education, rather than psychotherapy. What schools train practitioners of psychology, rather than researchers?
A really good starting location is the american psychological association website. You will find a list of accredited Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs by state. No matter what you decide, make sure you go to an accredited school.
Believe it or not, BOTH PsyD and PhD programs have a focus on research, and you have to do a masters thesis and dissertation for both.
PhD: you will learn how to conduct clinical research, as well as how to be a therapist and clinician.
PsyD: you will learn how to read, analyze, interpret research, and how to be a therapist and clinician.
**Also, each PhD program is different in how much emphasis they put on research and clinical work. That is something that reading through the website will tell you. I know that UIC (U of IL in Chicago) is super big on research, NIU (Northern IL U) is more on clinical, but I don't know about other ones. Look at how much field work you will be required to do, and also look at the required course. that will give you an idea of where they stand**
another HUGE difference between PhD and PsyD that is worth considering is this:
PhD: in general, accepted students are fully funded with tuition waivers that means that you will be a research assistant or teachers assistant for 20 hours/week for someone at the university you are at. you will receive a stipend that depends largely on the school–each school is different. some include health insurance, too. In other words, the school is paying you to become a Doctor and attend their school.
PsyD: never (at most, extremely rarely) do they offer this type of deal. you will survive on your own money, and from students I have talked to, I heard the debt can be overwhelming ($400,000.00!!!). It's so large because you can't really work outside of school because you're so busy unless you attend part time, but then it takes even longer to get the degree, and AAAHHH! annoyance!
Okay, this is really long! I'll shut up now.
children and their families?
The best would be UPenn and Penn State (main campus.)
I am interested in going to graduate school for experimental psychology. As of now I have about a 3.6/4.0 GPA am suppose to graduate in the spring of 09.
Any advice for which graduate programs I should start lookings at? I want to be involved with experimental behavior or clincial neuro. Pretty much understand what's going on in the brain when humans become involved with basic behavior (like the link between anger and lust). Or does speaking louder really effect a child's attention to "listen" to you… things like that…
Problem: Finance (obviously I can't afford harvard!).
That's great that you already have some idea of what you would like to study while in graduate school. I am currently getting my Ph.d in experimental cognitive psychology, and it's been great.
Looking for a good graduate school program is very different from looking for a good college. In college, it's all about "how well respected" the school is, but in graduate school, the university itself does not really matter much. If you are looking to get a Ph.d (which I expect, because you listed research interests), the faculty advisor (mentor) you work with in graduate school will be FAR more important than *where* you are at. It's all about finding the right faculty advisor to work with, and that is what you should be making your application decisions on, rather than the general reputation of the school. If you haven't already, start reading articles from scholarly journals in psychology and find out the names of the major researchers/authors in fields that interest you. Hopefully when the time comes for you to apply to graduate school, you will have discovered a number of researchers whose work you admire, and apply to work with them, wherever they're at. If that sounds too daunting, try to talk to some professors at your university who are doing research you are interested in, and they can help guide you.
I'm not sure what you mean by "experimental behavior" but I am familiar with the field of experimental psychology as a whole. Clinical neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology might be fields that interest you. However, when it comes down to it, these are all just names. The program you are applying to should not matter as much as the faculty you are working with.
Don't worry about finance! Usually it costs *nothing* to get a Ph.d in psychology. You will be paid usually either from taking a teaching assistantship position, and teaching part time while you attend school, or if you are lucky, your faculty advisor will have received a research grant, which will pay your living expenses. Most graduate students also receive a tuition waiver, so you don't directly have to pay tuition at all. Don't decide where to apply based on tuition, because frankly it's not relevant to you. That's good news, right?

I highly recommend picking up Robert Cialdini's book "Influence," as he goes through the 6 psychological factors that influence people to for sales or anything else.

im wodnerig…i am a psych/kenis major
I'm an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin. They have a good program in that area.

I should add that UT is a very, very big sports school in general (our football team is ranked #1), with a huge sports complex and a well-developed kinesiology program, and it also has a good psych program, so i'd expect the sports psych program to be very good to excellent.
