The CPA is pleased to make a number of publications and resources available to its members and affiliates, as well as members of the public.
CPA Journals
The CPA has a distinguished history of publishing dating back to 1940 when The Bulletin of C.P.A., edited by Donald O. Hebb, first appeared.
The CPA is pleased to partner with the American Psychological Association to publish the following three peer reviewed scientific journals:
- Canadian Psychology (CP)
- Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science (CJBS)
- Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology (CJEP)
CP and CJBS are published quarterly in January, April, July, and October. CJEP is published quarterly, beginning in March, in collaboration with the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS).

Psynopsis
Psynopsis is Canada’s Psychology Magazine. Each of its tri-annual issues focuses on a particular area of psychological research and/or practice with relevance, not only to the discipline and profession, but also to the range of stakeholders who may rely on or benefit from the work of Canada’s psychologists.
Psychology Works Fact Sheets
Psychology Works Fact Sheets are designed to give you information that you can trust; each fact sheet presents easy-to-read information on various psychological issues and related topics, and also highlights the role of psychologists in assisting with that particular topic.
