McMaster University has announced the creation of a new Psychotherapy MSc program. The program, created in response to updated legislation about who can provide the controlled act of psychotherapy, will train students in evidence-based psychotherapies and provide opportunities for students to develop and apply their clinical skills. The 20-month program will require students to complete 11 courses and two clinical practicum placements. “This new program meets an important provincial need, as Ontario will require many more trained psychotherapists, especially those with expertise in cognitive behavioural therapy,” stated McMaster Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences Chair Nick Kates.
