“…Although stress is an established phenomenon with recognised harmful effects on health when prolonged or excessive, the fact that individuals differ greatly in what they regard as stressful makes it difficult to define (Burrows & McGrath, 2000). Since the introduction of the notion of stress (Cannon, 1932; Selye, 1946), there have been efforts to characterise it more precisely, although there is still no universally agreed definition of the term (Miller, Buckholdt, & Shaw, 2008; Monroe, 2008). Distinct research traditions have focused on different aspects of the concept.…”

The purpose of this article is to present the current status of the literature related to stress in clinical psychology trainees (CPTs), and to offer research directions for investigating stress in this population and ways to enhance self-care in these individuals. The following conclusions emerge from the review: (1) CPTs are vulnerable to elevated stress; (2) undue stress can negatively impact CPTs' personal and professional functioning and, in turn, result in less than optimal standards of care for clients; (3) there is a dearth of studies on stress in this population and no published intervention studies; (4) incorporating self-care strategies into clinical psychology training is recommended; and (5) "third-wave" cognitive behaviour therapy stress management interventions have been efficacious in comparable populations. In view of the potential costs of elevated stress to trainees themselves and their clients, research on stress and stress management in this population is of a high priority. Broad research agendas are proposed for these two domains. Modifications to clinical training programmes to reduce trainee stress are required and should be evidence-based and systematically revaluated.

“…Teaching, research, service, and administration functions, and the constant switching between them, often results in role ambiguity and significant stress levels (Bandura & Locke, 2003;Catano et al, 2007;Miller et al 2008). The multifaceted professional life of academics reflects the complexity of their jobs, leading to stress that is multifold in nature.…”

A narrative approach was adopted to explore the experiences of 13 women who pursued academic careers. Analysis of the personal reflective narratives uncovered themes common to the participants, also the authors of this study, which focused on striving to have work-life balance, personal and professional costs associated with being unwell, and the impact of academic work on families. Findings highlighted suggestions for being well in academia such as choose to engage in work and leisure activities that are enjoyable and maintain relationships. Suggestions for universities included: provide clear promotion and tenure processes, examine workload expectations, promote wellness, and facilitate mentorship. About Memorial University’s Faculty of Education Writing Group In 2009, a group of members from a Faculty of Education began meeting to share their writing and discuss the writing process. We meet regularly and each member takes a turn hosting the meeting. There are no strict deadlines and action items for the meetings; instead, each member takes a turn checking in with the group and asking for feedback or advice on their writing. It is a relaxed and open setting where networking and socializing are as welcome as producing results. The group deliberately set forth to create an environment of non-criticism—we can give feedback but not criticism and we agree to promote support, rather than competition. Through this process, the writing group has served to foster a sense of belonging.
