Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 64(4), Nov 2023, 306-312; doi:10.1037/cap0000354Canadian clinical forensic psychologists complete rigorous clinical training, yet their scope of practice is limited compared to clinical forensic psychologists in other countries. Specifically, Canadian psychologists typically do not conduct fitness to stand trial or criminal responsibility evaluations due to a stipulation in the Criminal Code of Canada that these assessments are to be completed by a medical professional (i.e., psychiatrist). Although efforts are underway to amend the Criminal Code, we consider pursuing board...

Demystifying SSHRC psychology insight grants: Reviewers’ perspectives.
Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 64(4), Nov 2023, 290-298; doi:10.1037/cap0000353Being an academic psychologist offers both stimulating intellectual rewards and potential challenges. One of the primary stressors for many academic psychologists is securing research funding.

Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(4), Nov 2022, 667-677; doi:10.1037/cap0000345In this community-based naturalistic study, we investigated a “settlement-integrated” model of mental health care for refugees. Mental health care was coordinated through a settlement agency and a team of multilingual, culturally responsive settlement workers and counsellors, who provided supported referrals and counselling to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as social and cultural adjustment issues. A mixed-methods design was applied with the aim of assessing the r...

Preparing student therapists to work with Black mental health: Attending to the social and institutional organization of “culture” in Canadian counsellor education.
Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(4), Nov 2022, 623-636; doi:10.1037/cap0000343The current mental health needs of Black populations are significantly heightened, as more public occurrences of racial discrimination, systematic oppression, and violence have shed light on the adversities Black people experience in their everyday life. Despite this, many Canadian Black people are underutilizing psychological resources. The dominant approaches to research and practice have historically focused on identifying and addressing barriers to clients seeking care, rather than accessibility and appropriateness of the ...

Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(4), Nov 2022, 569-575; doi:10.1037/cap0000344Canadian psychology is at a critical juncture. In 2018, the Canadian Psychological Association and Psychology Foundation of Canada acknowledged that psychology has violated its own ethics code in its treatment of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and provided multiple recommendations to take accountability for this harm and work toward (re)conciliation. Colonial violence and oppression still occur in Canada, and (reconcile)action is needed to translate these recommendations into our work as psychologists regardless of our subdiscip...

Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(4), Nov 2022, 511-522; doi:10.1037/cap0000342The authors propose the integrated supervision framework (ISF) as a second-generation supervision model which synthesizes the discrimination model and ecological theory as an integrative, ecological, culturally responsive, and concordant framework for clinical supervision. The ISF was developed to intentionally fill identified gaps in the practice and process of multicultural, social justice, and ecological supervision and to provide a framework to expand the current practice of clinical supervision based on the existing body ...

Racism as a mental health challenge: An antiracist counselling perspective.
This article explores racism as a mental health issue. Given the historical and contemporary impact of racism on the well-being of both Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPoC) and White people, it is important for counsellors to address important issues associated with this phenomenon in their clinical work with clients. First, the historical roots of racist ideas in the United States and how they have been broadly expressed in psychological thought are explored. Second, racism is examined from a trauma perspective with its impact on the mental health of both BIPoC and Whites. Third, antiracist perspectives on ment...
