It helps clients safely process distressing memories by integrating them into their larger, adaptive memory network, alleviating immediate symptoms and fostering long-term healing.

4-Day Intensive Online Training Workshop – October 23 to 26, 2025

The Centre for Posttraumatic Stress & Anxiety Treatment is pleased to announce a four-day intensive online training workshop in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

PE is a manualized cognitive-behavioural treatment for PTSD with an extensive base of empirical support. Numerous controlled studies have shown that PE significantly reduces the symptoms of PTSD in a wide range of trauma survivors. PE is strongly recommended by every major U.S. and international clinical practice guideline for the treatment of PTSD.

Topics covered:
• Assessment, diagnosis and psychopathology of PTSD;
• Empirically-supported psychotherapeutic treatments for chronic PTSD and their comparative efficacy;
• Emotional Processing Theory and its relation to PE;
• Implementation of the components of PE, including psychoeducation, breathing retraining, in vivo exposure to trauma reminders, imaginal exposure to trauma memories, and processing of exposures;
• Identification and management of obstacles to effective emotional processing, including avoidance, over-engagement, and under-engagement;

Video vignettes will illustrate the various components of PE, and participants will have an opportunity to practice selected interventions in pairs during break-out sessions.

Intended audience:
Licensed mental health professionals or those working under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Previous training and experience with cognitive-behavioural therapy is strongly advised.

Dates: October 23 to 26, 2025
Location: Online (live) via Zoom

Chaque année, la SCP organise un congrès annuel qui rassemble plus de 1 200 membres de partout au Canada pour partager et générer de nouvelles idées, réseauter et faire progresser la psychologie scientifique, la pratique et l’enseignement de la psychologie. Le partage des connaissances et la collaboration sont essentiels à l’évolution de la psychologie au Canada, et en créant davantage de forums par lesquels tenir ces échanges, nous continuerons de réaliser des progrès importants dans ce domaine.

Face à l’augmentation des besoins de nos membres et à l’évolution du paysage de la psychologie, il est nécessaire de se doter d’un espace nouveau, créé spécialement pour approfondir des questions ponctuelles et urgentes. C’est pourquoi nous lançons la conférence satellite annuelle, un événement annuel consacré à une question importante du point de vue de nos membres. Chaque année, nous déterminerons le thème de la conférence en fonction de ce que nos membres et nous-mêmes estimons pertinent dans le contexte actuel de la psychologie et qui mérite de faire l’objet d’un débat approfondi et bien défini. Cet événement de deux jours réunira des psychologues et des étudiants des quatre coins du Canada qui viendront échanger des idées et des réflexions avec les plus grands experts de la psychologie du pays.

Cette année, notre conférence satellite portera sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA) en psychologie. Le paysage de l’IA évolue rapidement au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde. Qu’est-ce que cela signifie pour la psychologie scientifique, la pratique de la psychologie et la formation en psychologie au Canada? Que peut nous apprendre la psychologie sur la façon dont nous utilisons l’IA et interagissons avec elle? Quelle est la place de la psychologie dans le domaine de l’IA au Canada?

Ne manquez pas cette occasion de participer à des discussions cruciales sur le rôle de l’IA dans la recherche en psychologie, la pratique de la psychologie et l’enseignement de la psychologie. Joignez-vous à nous à Vancouver, au magnifique Nest, sur le campus de l’UBC, pour deux journées de réflexion, d’apprentissage et de réseautage.

Les séances plénières sont disponibles uniquement en anglais
