“…The counselling psychology section of the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) struck an ad hoc committee in 2008 to propose a Canadian definition of counselling psychology, which was ratified by the CPA in 2009 (CPA, 2009). The adoption of this definition helped counselling psychologists identify Canadian counselling psychology's historical contributions and strengths within the discipline of psychology as a whole (Sinacore et al, 2011;Young & Lalande, 2011).…”

In this paper, the authors report on the “Foregrounding Clinical Practice and Clinical Supervision” working group of the Canadian Counselling Psychology Conference held on October 26 to 28, 2018, at the University of Calgary. Of the 12 working group participants, nine self-identified as students and three identified as licensed practitioners (two of the practitioners also held academic positions). This group of mostly early-career professionals identified an overarching theme of building a firm foundation for their future practice. Working group members identified three important contributors: the development of a strong, multi-faceted professional identity, including issues of licensure and certification, the interplay between counselling and clinical psychology, and the place of career psychology; the importance of clinical supervision, including the perceived variable quality of supervision and the apparent shortage of practicum placements; and professional role models. The authors provide their perspectives on the issue the working group raised and offer recommendations for counsellor educators and practice leaders.

“…In reflecting upon the history, current state, and future directions of Canadian counselling psychology, scholars acknowledged the value of diversity, social justice, and advocacy in defining the field (Sinacore et al, 2011; Young & Lalande, 2011). Sinacore et al (2011) acknowledged the contributions of social justice research and advocacy within counselling psychology to the broader field of applied psychology.…”

“…Sinacore et al (2011) acknowledged the contributions of social justice research and advocacy within counselling psychology to the broader field of applied psychology. Young and Lalande (2011) echoed an acknowledgment of these contributions as a “defining moment” in the field, and encouraged the continued discussion of social justice in counselling psychology as a way to push the field “to be more explicit about its values” (p. 252).…”

Weight bias is pervasive, impacting the lived experiences of individuals with large bodies in all areas of society. Weight bias negatively impacts psychological and physical health, and contributes to systemic inequity for individuals with large bodies. Given that counselling psychology has been recognised for its commitment to social justice, it is important to provide examples of the many social justice issues associated with weight bias. The purpose of this article is to position weight bias as an important social justice issue for psychologists, through the lens of 3 social justice perspectives; distributive justice, procedural justice, and ecological justice. We examine the lack of equitable distribution of opportunities and resources for individuals with large bodies in health care, the workforce, education, and within interpersonal relationships. We also discuss the lack of voice provided to individuals with large bodies with regard to the policies and practices that affect them, and the social and environmental forces that systemically influence body weight and weight bias. Finally, we encourage further dialogue between professionals across disciplines about weight bias as a social justice issue in the future design of research, education, and practice.

“…These examples are by no means comprehensive. Young and Lalande (2011) provide a listing of other key defining moments in the field. Currently, there are five counselling psychology programs in Canada (all of which are accredited by the CPA and all of which are located in primarily English-speaking institutions): the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Alberta (UA), the University of Calgary (UC), the University of Toronto (UT), and McGill University (McGillU).…”

Recent advances for counselling psychology in Canada have led to increased efforts to identify what characterizes the specialty in the Canadian context. Because counselling psychology only recently received a nationally endorsed definition by the Canadian Psychological Association, individual doctoral programs have developed relatively independently of each other outside of minimum accreditation requirements, based on their divergent understandings of the field. This study provided a quantitative comparison of counselling psychology doctoral programs in Canada to identify areas of overlap and differentiation. Results indicated a large number of similarities, but also key differences, among the doctoral programs. These results are discussed in terms of the general training in counselling psychology in Canada, a provisional comparison of the specialty in Canada with the specialty in the United States, and proposed reasons for why a student (or faculty member) would find better fit for one program over another.
