Canada is a relatively young country, spanning a vast geographical area; yet, it has matured quickly, becoming a diverse, prosperous, and proud nation. The development of group psychotherapy in this country has followed a similar path: its roots can be traced back to fairly recent times, but it has given rise to a rich fabric of practice, teaching, and research traditions. This article provides a brief synopsis of how group therapy is provided, taught, and studied in Canada. Given the growing emphasis on providing group therapy, we recommend that Canadian mental health services invest in continuing education in group therapy; accrediting bodies require that foundational knowledge in group principles be taught to all trainees; and institutions encourage researchers to engage clinicians in practice-based research.
加拿大是一个相对年轻的国家，地域辽阔；然而，它发展迅速，已成为一个多元、繁荣且令人自豪的国家。该国团体心理治疗的发展也遵循了类似的轨迹：其根源可追溯到相当近的时期，但却形成了丰富的实践、教学和研究传统。本文简要概述了加拿大团体治疗的提供、教学和研究方式。鉴于对提供团体治疗的重视程度日益提高，我们建议加拿大心理健康服务机构投资团体治疗方面的继续教育；认证机构要求向所有受训人员传授团体治疗原则的基础知识；各机构鼓励研究人员让临床医生参与基于实践的研究。
