The Psychotherapy Program is an academic program within the Department of Psychiatry at The University of British Columbia (UBC). Its mandate is to provide psychotherapy training to UBC psychiatry residents, conduct research on psychotherapy and psychotherapy-related topics, and serve as a resource for clinicians in the community.
Program members are engaged in teaching, research, and clinical activities in many clinics, hospitals, and private offices in the Greater Vancouver area and throughout the province of BC. The Program promotes a broad-based approach to the psychotherapies encompassing different modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group), structures (e.g., short-term, long-term, time-limited), and theoretical orientations (e.g., psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal).
