Utilisation problématique de cybersexualité : Un modèle psychologique intégratif.
From the beginning of Internet development, numerous sites of a sexual character have been created and used by multiple users. Some of those users represent a problematic use of cybersexuality and develop online sexual behaviour of an excessive and/or addictive nature. A field of research focused on this population has recently emerged, seeking in particular to identify risk factors involved and the underlying psychological processes. However, these factors are often examined in isolation, so that it is not possible to provide an exhaustive and integrated description of this multi-factor problematic behaviour. The goal of ...

Substance use and mental health disorders: Psychologists’ role in bridging the gap.
Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(3), Aug 2022, 405-412; doi:10.1037/cap0000299Nearly 30% of people with a mental health disorder will also have a substance use disorder at some point in their lives. Despite widespread evidence of the complex interactions between mental health and substance use and the value of integrated treatment, the majority of people with concurrent disorders do not receive treatment that addresses both conditions. Psychologists are ideally suited to bridge this gap in care, but this will not be without challenges. Psychologists possess extensive skills in identifying, diagnosing, a...

Rôle de la conscience de soi et de la distinction soi-autrui dans la prise de perspective.
Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, Vol 63(3), Aug 2022, 431-444; doi:10.1037/cap0000295Perspective taking (PT) refers to the ability to adopt the point of view of others. This construct is frequently mentioned in research on theory of mind or empathy, but few studies have examined its components. Among these, the self-other distinction (SOD) can be defined as the ability to distinguish one’s own representations from those of others. Self-consciousness (SC) refers to attention to itself and its psychic states by an inner intuition. After a presentation of these two research fields, our review will focus on show...

Supporting survivors of child sexual abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic: An ecosystems approach to mobilizing trauma-informed telemental healthcare.
The emergence of the COVID-19 global health pandemic and its associated adversities have had cascading and compounding effects on vulnerable children and families impacted by abuse and trauma. Mandated public health physical distancing measures necessitated an abrupt transition from traditional in-person mental healthcare to virtual mental healthcare. While ushering in new and unexpected opportunities, this shift presented significant challenges and unique implications for trauma-focused pediatric interventions. In this article, we (a) propose an ecological systems framework through which we can better understand the multi...

Teaching the history of psychology.
Teaching the History of Psychology can be challenging, mainly because many students find the material to be boring or “irrelevant.” The way to make the course more interesting and “relevant” is to connect its content with an array of historical figures and events that are already in students’ networks of knowledge. This poses a problem, though, because today’s students often know little general history compared to students in the past. So, it falls to the History of Psychology instructor to provide that wider perspective. Examples of this are provided, especially that of Wilhelm Wundt’s career in the context ...

Toward an ecological science of teaching.
The need for a primary emphasis on teaching is a necessary, and as yet unfulfilled, goal of psychological science. We argue that an ecological model focused specifically upon understanding and optimizing teaching practice must incorporate the necessary complexity inherent to the teaching and learning process. To do so, we must expand our scope beyond the simple exploration of main effects under controlled conditions to the exploration of dynamic interactions, including the identification of boundary conditions, and the assessment of potential side-effects across relevant variables and contexts. To do so, foci on internal a...
