Episode 27. The dark side of the psychology world

Nov 20

In today’s episode, I discuss some of the dark sides of the psychology world. I explore:

● Reasons why I am speaking out about this

● The meta level changes that are happening in the world right now, which are contributing to the crumbling of certain systems

● My perspective on the College of Alberta Psychologists

● The adversarial nature of the College’s interactions with members and applicants

● Concerns regarding the College’s heavy focus on regulating provisionals and light focus on regulating supervisors

● What I think the College could do differently

● Issues around training programs for psychologists

● What I have heard and experienced with regard to leaders in our industry

● The most common concern that I hear from therapists and clients- how practice owners behave when therapists leave their clinic

● Some concerns I have heard about group practice owners

● An experience I had with being threatened to be sued by a fellow group practice owner

● The many problems that continue to happen with supervisors

● A story about a provisional who I helped through a very challenging time with her supervisor

I hope this episode is helpful for you!
