5 The Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology Area Werklund School of Education of Education The University of Calgary has offered MSc, MEd, and PhD degrees on campus since These degrees are offered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies but the programs are located in the Werklund School of Education of Education with academic oversight provided by the Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology area and the core faculty associated with the program specialization. The MEd program was discontinued in An additional degree, an MC (Master of Counselling), is offered through a distributed learning format. This booklet is intended for those seeking information about our on-campus graduate program in Counselling Psychology leading to the PhD degree. The Mission, Values, and Priorities of the Counselling Psychology Program (On Campus) Mission The mission of the Counselling Psychology program is to prepare students for future careers in Counselling Psychology as researchers, educators, and practitioners across settings, including education (schools, colleges, and universities), government, social services, health units and hospitals, community agencies, business and industry, and private practice. This mission is in keeping with the mandate of the University of Calgary, which as a comprehensive research university in Alberta, offers degree programs at the master's and doctoral levels in education, engineering, fine arts, health sciences, humanities, law, management, physical and social sciences. The Counselling Psychology program at the University of Calgary contributes to the development of scientific thought and practice in Counselling Psychology through faculty and student research, the education of professionals, and interdisciplinary collaboration with, and service through engagement with local, national, and international communities. Members of the Counselling Psychology program provide transformative high-quality leadership in our areas of expertise. Our mission in the Counselling Psychology program is in keeping with the mandate of the University of Calgary and the missions of the Werklund School of Education and the EDCP area within the School. Values The Counselling Psychology program is committed to the application and advancement of psychological principles in global contexts. We provide a balance between theory, research, and practice to create a scholarly focus for preparing students to thrive in their professional roles and practices. We value innovative knowledge creation and mobilization that serves our discipline and the public. We recognize and embrace the importance of diversity and inclusivity, and value an indigenous and international perspective in all our endeavours. We encourage excellence, integrity, collegiality, and well being among faculty, staff, and students. We believe in the importance of developing full human potential and enhancing quality of life within the context of Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology, Werklund School of Education 4
6 life-long learning. Our values in the Counselling Psychology program are in keeping with the values of integrity and respect promoted by the University of Calgary and the Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology area. Principles The Counselling Psychology program bases its training on the definition of Counselling Psychology approved by the CPA Board of Directors in November, Consistent with this definition of counselling psychology, we emphasize: working within a developmental perspective across a wide range of psychological functioning; a focus on assets and strengths regardless of level of functioning; the importance of person-environment interactions; attention to issues of and respect for individual and cultural diversity; a sound ethical orientation; prevention and the promotion of health and wellness, including psycho-educational interventions; problem alleviation and remediation; the importance of education and career in the lives of individuals; a holistic and client centered approach to assessment, diagnosis, and case conceptualization; systematic training in interpersonal and counselling skills; evaluation and improvement through critical thinking and a commitment to the scientific approach and reflective practice; and the integration of theory, research, and practice across the content areas of counselling psychology. Counselling Psychology faculty recognize and emphasize the importance of a multifaceted approach to the preparation of counselling psychologists, emphasizing personal awareness and growth, knowledge and skills about professional identity, counselling processes, and content in counselling interactions. The program is generalist in nature and is designed to provide broad preparation for further specialization at the post-doctoral level. Faculty members provide a variety of perspectives and students are encouraged to enhance their competence in a number of approaches (e.g., humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, process-experiential, feminist, solutionfocused, narrative, systemic). Toward this end, we promote a strong conceptual base, an ethical orientation, respect for diversity, skill development and reflective practice, knowledge creation and translation that contributes to the discipline and responds to community needs. Both the MSc and PhD programs follow a scientist-practitioner model of training, emphasizing the integration of science and practice; critical evaluation of theory, research, and practice within the profession; and the generation and dissemination of new knowledge. All on-campus programs in Counselling Psychology embrace the concept of local clinical scientist, wherein professionals engage in practice that fosters replicating intervention, tracking process, and monitoring outcomes in a systematic manner that permits the identification of links between counselling processes and client outcomes. In keeping with our emphasis on sensitivity to Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology, Werklund School of Education 5
7 cultural issues, we promote the use of both qualitative and quantitative research methods drawn from diverse epistemological perspectives. The Counselling Psychology program (on campus) at the University of Calgary emphasizes the integration of theory, research, and practice components. Students learn the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to achieve the goals of the programs through coursework, selfdirected learning, role modelling, participation and collaboration in research projects, the research seminar, and thesis/dissertation. Instructional approaches include multiple formats including didactic instruction, discussion, experiential and inquiry based learning, case studies, modelling, role-playing and simulations, and skill practice. Students develop competence in the practitioner component through laboratory and practicum courses, practicum field experiences, and in the PhD program, a full-year internship. An emphasis is placed on evidence-based assessment and intervention practices. These principles of the Counselling Psychology program are consistent with the U of C s Eyes High vision and strategy to become one of Canada s top five research universities grounded in innovative learning and teaching and fully integrated with the community of Calgary through programs made rich by research and hands-on experiences, [Retrieved August 10, 2014 from Overview MSc Program in Counselling Psychology Our goals for the MSc program in Counselling Psychology are to prepare graduates who have a sound understanding of the broad base of psychology as well as the historical, theoretical, and empirical knowledge base in counselling psychology; understand and demonstrate ethical and professional conduct in psychological research and practice; are competent in assessing clients and in the selection and use of appropriate assessment methods; are self-aware, knowledgeable, and skilled for incorporating diversity and social justice issues in all areas of counselling psychology research and practice; demonstrate critical understanding of and competence in planning, conducting, evaluating, disseminating, and advancing research in the field of counselling psychology; are competent in the use of a variety of psychological interventions within at least two treatment modalities; and are self-aware, knowledgeable about, and skilled in developing positive interpersonal relationships.

22 NOTE: The dissertation and oral defence can precede the hour internship. The order may also be reversed (i.e., the pre-doctoral internship may precede the dissertation and oral defence). Students are strongly advised to have as much of their dissertation completed as possible prior to taking up their internship. At the very least, they should have their doctoral research well underway preferably with the data collected and analysed before taking up an internship.

The program offers an information session for students applying for practica in January each year and provides information on possible practicum sites as well as course and supervision requirements. Students must begin applying for practicum placements normally at the end of January in order to obtain a placement beginning in September of the same year. Some sites begin reviewing applications in February and make placement decisions well before the application deadlines so students are advised to apply as early as possible in order to secure a placement. Most sites have a deadline of March 30 for accepting applications. Students must have their practicum arrangements finalized by the end of June in order to begin a practicum in September. Applicants accepted into the program and wish to set up placements should contact the Director of Practica and Internships for the PhD program in Counseling Psychology, Dr. Shelly Russell-Mayhew, at mkrussel@ucalgary.ca.
