The future of Canadian psychology, 1985.

The Canadian Psychological Association and the editor of Canadian Psychology are to be congratulated on the issue of July 1984 (Vol. 25, No. 3), which was largely devoted to matters pertaining both to the past and to the future of clinical/applied psychological training in Canada, as well as to the prospects of instituting national accreditation of such programmes commencing, perhaps, in 1985. The tenor both of Conway's paper and of those of the other contributors regarding the historical antecedents seems to reflect a rather more buoyant and united stance than might have been expected in the light of the 1971 report, The Future of Canadian Psychology, which the Association prepared for the Science Council of Canada. The equality of rights section of the Charter (Constitution Act, 1982, s. 15) makes reference to "mental and physical disability," which one might suppose would include the significantly retarded, chronically psychotic or institutionalized psychiatric patients, and the increasing numbers of cognitively incapacitated elderly persons. The 1971 report made some contrast between academic "hobby" research and applied psychology: a traditional dichotomy which in some quarters is no longer being viewed as very meaningful. It may be that more research in psychology departments could turn towards the prevention and remediation of those human problems which now engender and characterize the demand for professional services.

Foreword: "The Science Council and Psychology in Canada."

In 1966, the Science Secretariat, part of the Privy Council Office, commissioned the Canadian Psychological Association to undertake a study of psychology in Canada. The study was executed for the Association by Drs. M. H. Appley and Jean Rickwood and their report was published, in early 1968, as "Science Secretariat Special Study No. 3, Psychology in Canada, by Appley and Rickwood". In November 1968, the Science Council established a Committee, composed of 3 members of Council and 5 psychologists and 1 psychiatrist, to review Special Study No. 3 and to draft recommendations for consideration by Science Council. As a result of its discussions the Council believed that it should have an additional report commissioned to provide a deeper analysis of clinical psychology than was required by the terms of reference of the original (1966) study. Soon after the receipt by Science Council of Dr. Davidson's report in February 1970, a request was received from the editors of The Canadian Psychologist for permission to publish Dr. Davidson's work. The Science Council has complied with this request in the hope that publication of this document will contribute to a lively and effective discussion of the future of psychology within the psychological community.

The Canadian Council of Professional Psychology Programs and Accreditation: A clarification.

Asserts that J. M. Byrne's (see record 1994-35123-001) comment regarding clinical program accreditation in Canada by the Council of Professional Psychology Programs is inaccurate. The Canadian Council of Professional Psychology Programs (CCPPP) advocated for Canadian accreditation standards but is not an accrediting body. Clinical psychology doctoral programs and internships are accredited by the Accreditation Panel of the Canadian Psychological Association. CCPPP's functions are described.

Letter to the Editor.

What follows is an open letter to the President and Directors, Canadian Psychological Association. This letter addresses the 1972 Survey of Psychologists in the United States and Canada, a survey which emanates from the APA and which has the cooperation of the Canadian Psychological Association. The author of this letter, Susan K. London, Ph.D. believes the willingness of the Board of Directors of CPA to commit Canadian psychologists--without any sort of approval from the CPA membership, which is within your legal rights, but which is nonetheless very disturbing morally--to this sort of thing demonstrates a naiveté if not downright disingenuousness. It is more than time for Canadian psychologists to recognize one of their blindspots. The ordinary Canadian psychologist is usually quite sensitive to political implications--except when it comes to psychology and the United States! When that subject comes up, the usual camouflage is invoked: professionalism, value-free science, the need to rationalize procedures, etc. The most common one, perhaps, is the notion that APA and American psychologists (in the United States and in Canada) only wish to be of help. The camouflage rather reminds me of the squid that emits quantities of ink in the face of danger. It is therefore an indication that the CPA Board of Directors are aware of danger, are in fact acting in full knowledge of that danger. The contradiction is blatant.

The reaction of a participant observer.

Comments on an article by Conway about clinical psychology training in Canada (see record 1985-10567-001). The current author addresses issues regarding accreditation standards for applied psychology training programs in Canada. He firmly believes that the Canadian Psychological Association should develop a set of criteria for applied rather than clinical programs, in order to remain competitive with programs in the United States.

The psychological organizations of Canada--Round two.

This article is presented as a potential chapter of the history of psychological organizations in Canada. The writer briefly describes the origins, the structure, the aims and membership of the Canadian University Counselling Association. In his view a substantial number of the members of C.U.C.A. could be the nucleus of a division or interest groups of C.P.A.--specifically that of Counselling Psychology.

The Canadian Code of Ethics and the regulation of psychology.

Addresses the question of whether and how the Canadian Code of Ethics has been used as a regulatory document in Canada. After a discussion of the philosophy of codes of ethics and the principles associated with the regulation of professions, the various responses of Canadian regulatory bodies to the Canadian Psychological Association Code of Ethics is reviewed. Some of the strengths and limitations of the Canadian Code of Ethics as a regulatory document are discussed, as is the relationship between the Canadian Code of Ethics and other regulatory standards and regulations.
