“…However, this study's sample characteristics are similar to those of a larger study of clinical psychologists across Canada (Ionita & Fitzpatrick, 2014). Further, the psychologists from Quebec in this study had similar characteristics to a larger sampling of Quebec psychologists reported by Bradley and Drapeau (2013). Nevertheless, one should be cautious about generalizing from this study's samples.…”

“…These findings cannot be attributed to differences in theoretical orientation or level of education, which were controlled in the analysis. Recently, Bradley and Drapeau (2013) conducted a survey of preferences and needs for continuing education among psychologists in Quebec. The vast majority indicated the importance of maintaining their competence throughout their career, particularly in the domain of psychological interventions.…”

What Canadian clinical psychologists want from psychotherapy research.

The practice-research divide in psychotherapy has resulted in patients not always receiving the best possible evidence-based care. The conduct of psychotherapy research may be 1 of the barriers to the uptake of findings into clinical practice. To address this divide, a multidisciplinary group of clinicians, researchers, and educators used a knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) framework to develop the Psychotherapy Practice Research Network (PPRNet). KTE in part involves engaging clinicians and researchers in collaborative partnerships to develop research protocols, produce practice-based research, and disseminate the findings in clinically meaningful ways. At a national PPRNet conference, 82 clinicians and researchers listed psychotherapy research topics important to clinical practice, and 41 survey items were created. An online survey was conducted, and almost half of respondents (N ϭ 474) were Canadian clinical psychologists (216 from Quebec and 258 from the rest of Canada). Top-ranked research themes among Canadian clinical psychologists included therapeutic relationship and mechanisms of change, professional development, therapist factors, and client factors. Bottom-ranked research themes included barriers to accessing treatment, matching clients to therapy, technology and adjunctive interventions, progress monitoring, and therapy manuals. Some differences were noted in ratings between Quebec psychologists and those who practice elsewhere in Canada, but overall ranking of themes were remarkably consistent. The practice-research divide in psychotherapy may be addressed by engaging Canadian clinical psychologists in research that they prioritize. Research produced in this manner will have a better chance of being translated into practice to improve patient outcomes.

“…Or, les activités de supervision ne sont pas restreintes aux dyades étudiant-professionnel; elles s'appliquent également aux dyades professionnel-professionnel. Plus des deux tiers des psychologues québécois ayant répondu a `un sondage ont inscrit la supervision par les pairs parmi les activités de formation continue qu'ils préféraient (Bradley & Drapeau, 2013). D'ailleurs, depuis l'avènement du projet de loi 21 au Québec encadrant la pratique de la psychothérapie, les professionnels qui exercent la psychothérapie doivent recevoir de la supervision dans leurs activités de formation continue (a `raison d'un minimum de cinq heures a `tous les cinq ans).…”

La supervision clinique constitue une plateforme idéale pour favoriser la pratique de la psychologie basée sur les données probantes (PBDP) chez les professionnels débutants. Or, bien que la supervision soit décrite comme une activité essentielle à l'application pratique des théories apprises dans les programmes de formation universitaires, très peu de données existent pour guider le superviseur dans cette tâche complexe. La présente revue narrative a deux objectifs : 1) identifier les moyens à la disposition du superviseur pour inciter les supervisés à la PBDP; 2) définir les données probantes relatives à la supervision pouvant aider le psychologue superviseur à choisir les pratiques exemplaires susceptibles de favoriser une supervision efficace. Les deux objectifs de la revue sont discutés à la lumière des données empiriques disponibles sur la définition de la supervision, l'établissement d'un contrat de supervision, l'évaluation, les modèles théoriques, les interventions de supervision les plus efficaces, les enjeux interpersonnels de la supervision et le cas particulier de la supervision par les pairs. La supervision est systématiquement identifiée comme un facteur positif dans la formation et un agent facilitant le développement professionnel des supervisés. Les questions liées aux façons d'optimiser l'efficacité de la supervision, en matière d'interventions, d'aspects normatifs et d'évaluation, demeurent peu étudiées et devront faire l'objet de recherches futures.

“…Unsurprisingly, many health professions and many regulatory bodies and licensing boards have made CE mandatory for the professionals whose practice they oversee or regulate. However, in Canada, many of the provinces have not yet implemented mandatory CE for psychologists and there is a dearth of research regarding the CE practices of Canadian psychologists (Bradley & Drapeau, 2013).…”

Continuing education (CE) is a valued and widely promoted practice across the helping professions. Despite this, investigation into the CE practices of Canadian psychologists is lacking. In particular, it remains unclear whether making CE mandatory, as opposed to voluntary, has positive effects on the practices of these professionals. The enactment in 2012 of Bill 21 in Quebec, which imposes 90 mandatory hours of CE every 5 years for psychologists who practice psychotherapy, provides an excellent opportunity to examine the effects of making CE mandatory. The present study examined CE practices of psychologists pre-and post-Bill 21. Data were collected via surveys sent to two distinct samples of practitioners in 2006 (n = 473) and 2017 (n = 179). Results showed that psychologists spent more money on CE activities but devoted significantly less time to CE in 2017 compared to 2006. Implications for future research, practitioners, regulatory bodies, and the general public are discussed. Public Significance StatementIt has been proposed that making continuing education (CE) mandatory influences the CE practices of psychologists. The results of this study suggest a decrease in CE participation after the implementation of mandatory CE for psychologists practicing in Quebec. Changes in cost associated with CE training and motivational processes could partially explain the decrease in CE participation, however, further investigation is needed to better understand the impacts of mandatory CE.
