Psychotherapy can be an important part of psychosocial occupational therapy practice; however, it requires specialized training to achieve and maintain competence. Regulation varies by province, and in Ontario, occupational therapists were recently authorized to perform psychotherapy.
The purpose of this study was to explore the psychotherapy practice, training, and support needs of Ontario occupational therapists.
An online survey was sent to occupational therapists who had clients with mental health or chronic pain issues, asking about their expertise and support needs in relation to nine psychotherapy approaches.
Of the 331 therapists who responded, there were variations in the nature and frequency of psychotherapy practice. Experienced therapists in outpatient settings were more likely to practice psychotherapy, and cognitive-behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness were the most common approaches. Supervision and training varied, with many therapists interested in occupational therapy-specific training.
Recommendations for a framework of support include education about the nature of psychotherapy, training and supervision guidelines, and advocacy for occupational therapy and psychotherapy.
心理治疗可以成为心理社会职业治疗实践的重要组成部分；然而，要获得并保持专业能力需要接受专门培训。各省的规定有所不同，在安大略省，职业治疗师最近被授权可进行心理治疗。
本研究的目的是探讨安大略省职业治疗师的心理治疗实践、培训及支持需求。
向为有心理健康或慢性疼痛问题的客户提供服务的职业治疗师发送了一份在线调查问卷，询问他们在九种心理治疗方法方面的专业知识和支持需求。
在331名回复的治疗师中，心理治疗实践的性质和频率存在差异。门诊环境中的经验丰富的治疗师更有可能进行心理治疗，认知行为疗法、动机性访谈和正念是最常用的方法。监督和培训各不相同，许多治疗师对特定于职业治疗的培训感兴趣。
支持框架的建议包括关于心理治疗性质的教育、培训和监督指南，以及对职业治疗和心理治疗的宣传。
