GP Psychotherapy Supervision

Supervision is an interactive process that focuses on the specific learning needs of the physician. The General Practice Psychotherapy Association (GPPA) considers supervision to be indispensable not only in psychotherapy training, but also in the maintenance of competence for physicians practicing psychotherapy. It is also essential in monitoring for countertransference phenomena and therapeutic impasse, which are regular occurrences in a psychotherapy practice.

There are two models of supervision: Individual and Group.

INDIVIDUAL SUPERVISON

GROUP SUPERVISION

A training course developed and offered by the GPPA to Certificant and Mentor members of the Association (or equivalent - individual consideration given to Clinical members and non-member physicians). This course teaches basic principles in providing GP psychotherapy supervision. It consists of six modules - 9 credit hours each, and runs over 18 months.

The course will start when we have a full complement of registrants. Several dates are planned. Please contact the GPPA office for more information about start dates by calling 416-410-6644 or by sending an email to info@gppaonline.ca.
