Common factors in psychotherapy (25 hours)
Welcome!
So you are looking for a course on common factors in psychotherapy? Then you've come to the right place! (You can find the outline for this course here or scroll down to see what it covers).
This course was designed specifically for anyone who plans to apply for a psychotherapy permit as per Bill 21, in order to practice psychotherapy in Quebec (we had this course pre-approved by the Order of psychologists of Quebec). If on the other hand you don't plan on practicing in Quebec and just want to learn about common factors in psychotherapy, then guess what... you are also in the right place!
This course is open to anyone wanting to learn about common factors in psychotherapy, common factor and contextual models amongst other things. If you are in Quebec, you surely know that a Bill was passed to regulate the practice of psychotherapy. This Bill, often referred to as Bill 21, states that to practice psychotherapy in Quebec, psychotherapists must meet a number of very specific requirements. It is available entirely online; as such you can complete it wherever and whenever you want.
