“…A collaborative psychologist must, therefore, thoroughly understand their own professional identity and scope of practice (Bedi et al, 2020). The process of collaborating and negotiating roles and scope has been shown to reciprocally facilitate effective collaboration and facilitate the further development of one’s professional identity (Bayne-Smith et al, 2014; Haverkamp et al, 2011; Leventhal et al, 2021). However, role clarification goes beyond understanding professional identity and scope of practice and includes the possibility of shifting roles within a team depending on its unique composition as well as the context in which it operates (e.g., hospital, community care clinic, homecare, public health; Engel & Prentice, 2013; Jones & Delany, 2014).…”

“…Such standards seem to relate to a specific collaborative practice context, such as a community counselling centre or mental health clinic but are worded as though they should apply to all contexts in which a psychologist collaborates with an interested third party. Indeed, collaboration has been shown to be an important competency for psychologists across many practice settings (Leventhal et al, 2021). As psychologists continue to expand their roles in diverse health care contexts requiring collaborative practice, there may come a need for standards to become less rigid and context-specific and to adopt more general principles of collaborative practice and decision making.…”

“…Professional psychology training programmes must follow the lead of other health professions by including IPE in professional psychology training programmes (Addy et al, 2015; Klaver et al, 2019; Leventhal et al, 2021; Olson & Bialocerkowski, 2014; Vereen et al, 2018). Therefore, professional psychology training programmes should consider adherence to the CPA’s (2023) accreditation standards’ competency framework as a map for professional training, regardless of whether the programme seeks formal accreditation.…”

Health care professions have been incorporating collaborative practice competencies into codes of ethics, standards of practice, and accreditation frameworks for decades. As collaborative practice in mental health care has received increased attention in recent years, in order to provide the best care to their clients psychologists must redouble their efforts to ensure they are trained and supported in the process of collaborating with other health care providers and relevant third parties. This review examined the standards of practice used by regulatory organizations for psychologists across Canada. Four provinces/territories (P/T) have standards specific to collaborative practice and two P/Ts have standards that briefly address working with other professionals. Specific practices that are relevant to collaboration found in the documents included referral, consultation, third-party interactions, shared record keeping, and assessment. Variations in both the structure and wording of the standards reviewed may impact the ability of psychologists in Canada to consistently understand and communicate their roles in interprofessional health care teams. Furthermore, many of the standards appear to be difficult to interpret within a collaborative care context, seemingly having been designed with individual practice in mind. Consideration of collaborative competency frameworks when designing standards of practice, practice guidelines, and health legislation may provide support to both practitioners and educators who strive to enhance the role of collaborative practice in Canadian psychology.

Current literature lacks data related to the role of psychologists on consultation-liaison (CL) services; previous data indicates only 4% of CL services are run by psychologists, while 32% of liaison mental health services include a psychologist. As CL psychologists’ roles within hospitals grow, it is critical to identify clinical strategies and organizational structures of CL services across hospital systems. The current study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of CL psychologists’ scope of work. Participants (N = 77) (15% response rate) completed a measure developed for this study, exploring psychologist roles, clinical practice, and departmental structures. Thirty-two percent of respondents were in Psychiatry Departments, 58% were in academic medical centers, almost half had training programs and the most frequently utilized billing code was: Given the limited data available, this study provided a contemporary and foundational understanding of the CL psychologist roles as well as future avenues of empirical inquiry such as discrete organization and structural characteristics.
