Mental illness stereotype content in a sample of undergraduates from mental health-related fields
A Qualitative Study Into the Relative Stigmatization of Mental Illness by Mental Health Professionals
Mental health professionals stigmatize mental illness, which has significant ramifications for public health and policy. Within this domain, there is a lack of comprehensive research on relative stigma, emotions, and behaviors and an absence of literature that can guide research on these topics. The current study sought to address these limitations. Unstructured interviews were conducted with 22 mental health professionals, and data were analyzed…
Building journalists’ resilience through mindfulness strategies
Mindfulness-based meditation has earned its place in a variety of settings after studies reporting the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions for the treatment of a range of psychological and health disorders and for building resilience and well-being in a variety of occupational groups.

An Exploration of the Experiences of Culturally and/or Linguistically Diverse Trainee Psychologists in Australian Postgraduate Programs
ObjectiveThe study explored the experiences of trainee psychologists from a culturally and/or linguistically diverse (CALD) background in Australia. Although previous studies have documented the experiences of CALD trainees in the USA and UK, few studies have explored this issue in Australia. Findings from other countries may aid understanding, but could not be assumed to apply in Australia. The current study aimed to address this gap and explore…

Introduction to the Special Issue Recent Developments in Professional Supervision: Challenges and Practice Implications
We could not have chosen a better time to launch this Special Issue on Recent developments in professional supervision: Challenges and practice implications. There are promising new developments in supervision theory and conceptualisation, a growing recognition of the importance and impact of supervision on the acquisition and maintenance of professional competence, a greater scrutiny of and major changes to professional supervisory practice, and…
Individual Differences in Self-Compassion: The Role of Attachment and Experiences of Parenting in Childhood
Much evidence indicates that self-compassion is related to a wide range of positive outcomes, yet remarkably little is known as to the origins of self-compassion. Here we present two studies that investigate the potential origins of individual differences in self-compassion. In Study 1, participants' (N = 329) recall of high parental rejection and overprotection, and low parental warmth in childhood predicted low self-compassion, and this was med…
Protocols for Protection of Human Participants: A Comparison of Five Countries
Research ethics protocols relating to human participants were compared across five countries, namely, Australia, Azerbaijan, Iran, the Philippines, and South Africa. These countries were considered to be geographically and culturally diverse, as well as representing both developed and developing countries. The extent to which the research participant is protected across cultures and countries was investigated, with particular focus on the use of …

Addendum on Monitoring Supervisees’ Perceptions of Supervision to O'Donovan, Halford and Walters." Australian Psychologist, 47(4), p. 262
Towards Best Practice Supervision of Clinical Psychology Trainees
Supervision of professional practice is mandated in the training of clinical psychologists and consensually agreed to be central in such training. Supervision is intended to serve three related, but somewhat conflicting, functions: (1) normative functions of monitoring and ensuring client well‐being, and monitoring and evaluating supervisee competence; (2), restorative functions of supporting supervisee personal and professional well‐being; and (…
Judgments of Widely Held Beliefs about Psychological Phenomena among South African and Australian Postgraduate Psychology Students
Lay understandings of human cognition, affect, and behaviour often diverge from the findings of scientific investigations. The present study compared South African and Australian fourth year psychology students' judgments about the factual correctness of statements of psychological phenomena that have been demonstrated to be incorrect by empirical research. Students enrolled in the psychology Honours programmes at two large residential universiti…
Opinions of Australian Psychological Society College Chairs about process and content in supervision training: Preliminary investigation in Queensland
Few psychologists in Australia have been trained to provide supervision to probationary psychologists. The current preliminary study investigated whether a supervision training workshop could, in the view of representative psychologists, provide effective training across a range of psychological specialties, or whether separate training was needed for different specialties. The nine Queensland Chairs of the Australian Psychological Society specia…

What are the benefits of longer training in psychology? A comment on Helmes and Wilmoth (2002)
Helmes and Wilmoth (2002) assert that the Australian model of educating psychologists is inadequate. They advocate adoption of the North American model. Their advocacy ignores the fact that the effectiveness of advanced professional training in psychology has not been demonstrated, and the fact that psychology practitioners from all parts of the world value supervised work with clients above formal courses as a positive influence on professional …
Training in clinical and counseling psychology
In developing this special issue on training in clinical and counselling psychology, we have aimed to achieve several things. First, we wanted this special issue to reflect the fact that there is substantial disagreement about what it is that clinical and counselling psychologists most need to know. Taking only the example of psychotherapy, there is no consensus as to whether relationship variables, client variables, or technical variables are mo…
Effective training in clinical and counselling psychology: Not as simple as it sounds
In this article, we introduce this special issue on training in clinical and counselling psychology by identifying issues that confront educators in particular, but the profession more generally. Issues include whether training courses are effective, whether universities are where training should occur, which students should be accepted for training, and when ought training to occur
Trainees' experience of postgraduate clinical training
Current postgraduate clinical trainees' opinions regarding both the strengths and weaknesses of training were investigated. Sixteen participants were recruited from six universities across four Australian states. Gender distribution matched that of training courses generally, with 14 female students and 2 male participants, aged between 23 and 44 years. Trainees participated in semistructured interviews about the main components of clinical train…
