NZPsS NEWS Our Warm Congratulations to New Fellows Bruce Jamieson and Frank O’Connor The NZPsS Executive were pleased to accept the recommendation of the Membership and Status Committee that Bruce Jamieson and Frank O’Connor be conferred the honour of Fellowship of the Society. Fellowship of the Society honours the substantial contribution made by an NZPsS member to the advancement of psychological knowledge or practice through research or practice or by organising the work of others. Fellows also possess an advanced knowledge in one or more psychology fields. Bruce Jamieson’s distinguished career at the University of Canterbury primarily involved the training of the majority of Industrial/Organisational psychologists. He established the first IO programme in New Zealand and was responsible for this very successful programme for 34 years. Frank O’Connor has been a registered psychologist since 1987 and has extensive experience as an organisational psychologist. Frank has worked tirelessly and collegially to support others in his area of psychology. He has been involved in research and has actively supported others in the dissemination of information. He has been an active supporter of the NZPsS including being President. More information about new Fellows of the NZPsS will feature in the November edition of Psychology Aotearoa.

Farewell to Garry McFarlane-Nathan Longstanding member of the NZPsS Garry McFarlane-Nathan recently passed away. Our thanks to Margaret Dudley, Jenni Ogden, Eileen Swan and Margaretanne Roger who at very short notice, wrote the obituary below honouring and remembering Garry. Garry Huingahau McFarlane-Nathan, Clinical Psychologist died suddenly in Whangarei on the 3 July 2016, aged 58 yrs. Garry was born in Dargaville. He left school before he turned 15 and did not return to the education system until he attended university as a mature student. He completed his undergraduate degree in 1990 and his Master’s Degree (1st class Hons) in 1992, at the University of Auckland. Garry’s Master’s thesis was titled “Cultural Bias in Neuropsychological Assessment” which was subsequently published and is recognised widely here in New Zealand as well as internationally. Garry’s work has raised awareness of the impact of cultural bias when conducting neuropsychological assessments with Māori. Having qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 1994, one of the first Māori clinical psychologists in NZ and certainly the first with specialist skills in clinical neuropsychology. He also studied under the guidance of tohunga Māori Marsden and this blend of mātauranga from Te Ao Māori and the Western world placed him in a unique position to work effectively with many Māori clients. Garry began work with the Department of Corrections where he developed the Bicultural Model of Therapy, and the Framework for the Reduction of Māori Offending (FReMo). Garry also published work on Cognitive behaviour therapy with Māori and culturally relevant treatment for sex offenders. His work is prescribed reading for clinical psychology students at the Page 1

University of Auckland. Garry also worked at Burton’s Healthcare with clients who had sustained a brain injury. He moved to Whangarei in 2002 and worked in private practice contracting to ACC, Department of Corrections and some private clients. Garry was able to work with a wide range of clients, connecting with people from all walks of life, seeing all people as unique and gifted. His work with ACC clients was often very challenging – but his successes were many. Several clients spoke movingly at his tangi at Taita marae, Dargaville. Their issues were varied but all spoke about Garry’s compassion, his ability to hold their pain and stand strong for them until they could stand again for themselves. The fact that they were able to articulate so clearly what Garry had done for them and how they were now stronger as a result, was testament to his skill as a therapist and caring human being. He will be much missed in Northland for his ability, generosity of time and love for all. Garry leaves behind three sons, Ratema, Winton and Patuawa and two step children Kelly and Harata.

Professional Issues Ethics Matters Dr Elizabeth du Preez is a registered clinical and counselling psychologist and a lecturer on the Postgraduate Programme in Counselling Psychology at AUT. She has a special interest in professional ethics and clinical supervision and maintains a small private practice in Auckland. [email protected] As a follow up to the May column I would like to share the feedback I received on some of the complex considerations that Family Court Specialist Report Writers (FCSRW) are faced with when they receive complaints against them. It is also interesting to note that these issues might also arise for psychologists who work in the industrial/organisational field, and psychologists who are contracted by any organisation to assess and write psychological reports for their employees. Clarification should always be sought around issues of ownership of reports, informed consent and limits of confidentiality. Readers of this column will remember that I raised particular points for discussion in relation to the work of FCSRW, including informed consent (whether informed consent still exists, in the process of an ongoing complaint). The current situation is, as I understand it, that the Family Court Judge will only consider and comment on a complaint received after the Family Court processes are finished, unless the professional/ethical behavior of the psychologist who is the focus of the complaint might put the public at risk. The NZ Psychologists Board has the option of putting its consideration of the matter on hold pending receipt of the Judge’s minute which means that the case can continue in the court and any

issues or concerns about the psychologist’s work can be tested via cross-examination, holding the child’s/ childrens’ interest(s) in mind. Informed consent still needs to be (re)negotiated in the light of the complaint, ensuring that the individuals being assessed are aware of the limitations inherent in the Family Court process with regards to consent, and the potential consequences of any withdrawal of consent. I also raised the issue of ownership of the report. Psychologists are reminded that the Family Court is the primary client in this context. Psychologists are therefore unable to provide anyone (including the Board) with a copy of the report unless they have the express permission of the court to do so. This obstacle has to be communicated to the Board in the first instance, as it can handicap the psychologist in their ability to defend themselves against the complaint, if the validity and reliability of the findings of the report are contested in the complaints process. This is also commented on in the document available on the NZPB website – in which the Board acknowledges that: “Family Court Report Writers would still often be put in the insidious position of either: a) Putting forth his or her best defence (by asking the Board to consider the report they had prepared for the court) but in the process possibly violating the court’s restrictions on who could access the report (knowing that the Board would be bound to share it with the complainant), or b) potentially undermining his or her own defence by not submitting all the information they thought the Board should consider” It also acknowledges that the “Family Court owns the report and has the authority to release or not release it (in whole or in part). The Board will abide by the Court’s decision in this regard and will also consider any submissions the psychologist may make in relation to information he or she believes should be withheld (under the Privacy Act).” Lastly, I commented on the possibility of redaction (of the Page 3

psychologist’s response to the Board, before it is provided to the complainant). It is my understanding that the NZ Psychologists Board may accept a redacted version of the psychologist’s response to the complaint (which means that psychologists are able to protect themselves against further privacy complaints from other individuals mentioned in their response that is not the complainant). In practice, however, this leaves psychologists with another dilemma; as we are not experts in redaction, we cannot do the redaction ourselves, and should always seek legal advice and assistance on this matter. Feedback from readers focused predominately on the need for the relevant legislative role players (the NZ Psychologists Board, The Family Court, the Privacy Commissioner, and the Human Rights Commissioner) to demonstrate a willingness and commitment to collaborate on finding an ethical solution. This was true not only for clients but also psychologists, who often feel persecuted and unsupported in this process. The NZ Psychologists Board has been very helpful in contributing to these columns and ongoing conversations. They have updated the information on their website that addresses these concerns, document available here - http:// www.psychologistsboard.org.nz/cms_show_download php?id=431. There is an invitation from the Board for comments, and as always, feel free to contact me on [email protected]

New Zealand Psychology’s Public Face: Part-2 by Benita Stiles-Smith and Kayla Marshall

Over the past two years, the NZPsS and the NZCCP have been sponsoring the Future Psychology Initiative for positioning psychology to advantage in serving a continuously evolving New Zealand. Areas of action for a resilient, robust, and relevant profession have generated five work groups (see http://www.psychology.org.nz/ membership/thefuture-psychology-initiative ). One of these work groups, “Enhancing Professional Practice and Identity”, wondered what was available in the public media to influence New Zealanders thinking about psychologists, and assigned researching the question to two of the work group members. Part-1 of the findings relating to this question were presented in the last issue of Connections, and the report will be continued in the following paragraphs. While information regarding psychologists and what they do has typically been sparse to the NZ public, psychologists have generally been cast in a positive and respectable light and the public remains interested in psychology, as has been described in Part-1 of this series in last month’s Connections. Psychologists have been making recent efforts in gaining further public face, and these will be further described in this report, Part-2. New Zealand psychologists have agreed that engaging the public with the profession is an important avenue for service. Communication between the general public and the profession can serve to further inform both, perhaps resulting in better service construction and delivery.

This was demonstrated by the several public forums held during the newly minted annual celebration of Psychology Week in November, 2015. The theme of “Living Life Well” was promoted, and community attendance at presentations was encouraging (e.g. NZ Psychological Society Facebook, 2015). While much of this promotion was face-to-face in presentation, media presentation and media coverage will perhaps gain greater audiences in coming years. Connection with psychology via technology with apps and e-therapy in NZ seems to be making some inroads. The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (2015) has published a directory of what is available for NZ users that includes more than 20 resources. Some of these require a doctor’s referral to access, but most are available to the public for use at will. Intervention areas include anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, autism, attention deficit disorder, stress, sadness, well-being and healthy lifestyle, problem-solving, mental wellness, relaxation and meditation. Programmes derive from Australia and Britain, as well as New Zealand. As the public demonstrates an interest in psychological perspectives, psychologists in NZ are demonstrating perhaps a complimentary increased interest for input to societal concerns. An illustration of this is the New Zealand Psychological Society’s remit to actively take opportunities to offer psychologist assistance for promoting understanding and behaviour change in relation to issues of climate change and human adaptation (NZPsS, 2015). Press releases and submissions to government are made from a variety of New Zealand academic institutions and professional organisations, as can be seen in perusing their websites. Some participation in government process is occurring. For instance, Richie Poulton, with background as a clinical psychologist, became the Chief Science Advisor to the New Zealand Ministry of Social Development in 2015 (Otago University, 2015). As evidenced in both Part-1 and Part-2 of this report, platforms of interest and good-will exist for psychology to gain public face with the New Zealand public. Discussion Page 4

and recommendations deriving from the information gained will follow in Part-3 in the coming month. References Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. (2015).

A reminder- Psychologists Board Best Practice Guidelines The Psychologists Board have adopted a number of best practice guidelines which are on their websitewe thought we would remind you about these useful practice resources… Guidelines on Unprofessional Behaviour and its Management in the Workplace. These guidelines were adopted by the Board in May 2010. They can be

downloaded here. Supervision Guidelines- these guidelines were adopted by the Board in May 2010. They can be downloaded here. What to do when you have Concerns about another Psychologist. These guidelines were adopted by the Board in February 2011. They can be downloaded here. Keeping Records of Psychological Services- these guidelines were adopted by the Board in November 2011 and updated in March 2014 (re Cloud storage). They can be downloaded here. The Practice of Telepsychology- these guidelines have been developed through a lengthy consultation period and consideration of the guidelines developed by regulatory authorities for psychologists in other countries. Although the guidelines reflect the current legislation which regulates psychological practice in New Zealand (the HPCA Act), it is likely that legislation will be updated in the future to better address practice via electronic media. It is also likely that these guidelines (which reflect the Board’s current policy) will be challenged by case law (following a complaint arising from practice where the psychologist and client are in different countries). Therefore, although these guidelines hold “Final” status, they are subject to open review should events prompt further development. These guidelines were adopted by the Board in December 2012. They can be downloaded here. The Use of Psychometric Tests- the guidelines on “The Use of Psychometric Tests” were approved for publication at the Board’s meeting on 21 February 2013. A revised version, incorporating advice re the use of online services, was adopted in March 2015. They can be downloaded here. Maintaining professionalism when using social media networking. The guidelines on “Maintaining professionalism when using social media networking” were approved for publication at the Board’s meeting on 22 August 2013. They can be downloaded here. Informed Consent- the guidelines on “Informed Consent” were approved for publication at the Board’s meeting on

25 February 2016. They can be downloaded here.

Any queries regarding the conference, please feel free to email me ([email protected]).

Survey Monkey Do you need to use a survey to gather data for your thesis? If so, you’ll be interested to read about the experience of Karen Tonkin, student rep of the Institute of Organisational Psychology. In the past Karen has used Qualtrics through her university account. She has recently used survey monkey for the first time and has some tips to share.

You have to pay an additional ‘upgrade fee’ for: •

Surveys which have more than 10 questions

•

To share access to the survey data with colleagues

•

To download data into a file (CSV, Excel etc) (extra NZD35.00/month)

From what I can tell it is a really good option if you want to get a quick overview on people’s opinions of a seminar etc which they have attended. If you are looking for more than that you may be better to stick with the subscription

Veerle Van Cooten, IEDP Student Rep As a student rep for the IEDP I have been involved, through my internship at the Ministry of Education, in a work group which had taken on the task to write a pithy statement about what the role of an educational psychologist is. The work group consisted of educational psychologists who work within the Ministry of Education. We have consulted with educational psychologists working in academic settings, in private practice and in other areas. The IEDP committee was also involved. Our effort has resulted in a 2-page document which describes the most important aspects of the work of educational psychologists in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. This may be useful to explain the value of our work, for example to negotiate with employers and funders, as well as to inform the general public what it is that we do. As a student rep it was great to be involved in this work group because I could be a link between the most recent training programmes and the experiences of the work field as well as our representatives on the IEDP committee. It was really great to hear from various people in the workforce, whether working in behaviour service, early childhood education, school-wide systems intervention etc and to see that they all still seem to have very similar values and emphasis in their work and philosophy. The pithy statement, or an adapted version, may be published on the NZPsS website at a later stage this year. If you would like more info at this stage, please feel free to contact me.

Student Contribution Erin Helliwell shares her experience of being a student in the clinical psychology programme at the University of Canterbury. My name is Erin, and I am a first year Clinical Psychology student at the University of Canterbury, in my seventh year of tertiary study. Our programme (PGDipClinPsy) is a 3 year programme, with a mixture of classes, assessments, practical skills and placements. UC introduced this programme in 1962, the first of its kind. Most students complete research (Master’s or PhD) part-time alongside the course, although this is not required if you already

have a Master’s degree. In the first year, you do classes, and gain clinical experience in our Psychology Clinic on campus. We’re all assigned clinical supervisors, who we work with - sitting in on their sessions and eventually administering tests screening clients. In the second year, classes continue, and you also continue working with these supervisors, except you get more experience in actually delivering treatment components to clients. You also complete two community placements around Christchurch - we’re lucky to have a great variety of placements available to us! In the final year, the “internship year” you get to do 12 months of paid internships (usually two 6 month ones, or sometimes a full 12 month one), and get to use the title “intern psychologist”. At the end of this year, you sit the Diploma exam, to become a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist. So far, the programme is awesome - we have a class of 11 great students, the lecturers and supervisors are super knowledgeable, and we’re getting so much practical experience, helping us grow our interviewing and test administration skills. After many years of theory at undergrad level, we are all relishing the hands-on programme, which will enable us to finally meet the goal we have been working towards for many years becoming practicing Clinical Psychologists!

Mental Health Foundation welcomes Facebook’s suicide prevention tools

The Mental Health Foundation welcomes the launch of Facebook’s suicide prevention tools in New Zealand and encourages Kiwis to use these tools if they need to. When users report suicidal content, they are given a list of options to help their friend, such as reaching out directly with text suggested by Facebook to let the person know they are concerned and are available to help. Facebook can also send distressed people the numbers and information for New Zealand helplines. Source: Mental Health Foundation E-Bulletin-15 June 2016

Request for Assistance SURVEY INVITATION LEADERSHIP AND PSYCHOLOGY – INCENTIVES, BARRIERS AND TRAINING NEEDS

University of Auckland. Co-researchers include Drs Kerry Gibson and Nigel George. Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 02-Jun-2016 for three years, Reference Number 016901

Are you a psychologist who identifies with an Asian background? You are invited to participate in doctoral research on your unique experiences and perspectives as an Asian mental health professional working in New Zealand.

What does leadership mean to you? What type of leadership do psychologists get involved in? What are the incentives? What are the obstacles? How should we be trained or prepare ourselves? These and other questions have arisen from the ‘Future of Psychology Initiative’ where we gathered opinions about the need for psychologists to step into leadership roles more. This study is about your experiences, thoughts and needs about how we could go about this and why. The study is in two parts, firstly a brief survey and secondly, a series of focus groups for greater depth of exploration. Out of this we hope to inform the workforce, professional bodies and the training institutions about what’s ideally needed for the profession of psychology. If you are a registered psychologist regardless of whether you are in a leadership role or not (we wish to hear from everyone), you are eligible to engage in this survey. Please CLICK ON THE LINK below to take part https://auckland.au1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_ cZJWcPYjbPhLsr3 If you also wish to take part in the focus group, you may email Fiona Howard at [email protected]. She will contact you subsequently to arrange a meeting. Your confidentiality will be assured. The survey is being conducted by Honours student Veronica Tone and supervisor Fiona Howard at the

-

How does your background influence your encounters with clients? How do you work with clients from your own culture and across other cultures? What personal and professional challenges have you experienced? How do you see cultural competence in relation to you?

This study encourages you to reflect on your experiences of working with your own and others’ cultures (including the dominant culture). To date there has been no research on the views of Asian mental health professionals and their experiences in New Zealand. Yet, this is vital for professionals to develop cultural competence in a diverse society.

The study involves individual interviews of approximately 1-2 hours conducted at a time and place that suits you, and a brief questionnaire completed at the start of the interview. You will receive a $20 grocery or petrol voucher as a thank you for your participation. Any psychologist who self-identifies with having an Asian background or identity can participate (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Indian, Southeast Asian…). If you live outside of Auckland, please do not hesitate to get in touch as I can travel or interview by Skype or phone.

INSTITUTE of COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY AOTEAROA

A strengths-based approach to post-settlement practice Dr Rawiri Waretini-Karena

(Ngāti Mahanga/Waikato-Tainui & Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu)

& Dr Ingrid Huygens (Dutch, Pākehā)

Hamilton: Friday 4 November 2016, 9am-5pm Anglican Action, Morrinsville Road This is a practice-oriented workshop to assist leaders, practitioners and trainees to respond in strengths-based ways to the expectations and aspirations of Māori clients and communities, and to work confidently in the area of responsiveness to Māori. Responsiveness to Māori needs and aspirations, from governance through to operations, is now a requirement of government contracts and many community funders. A deeper understanding of historical context, strategy and available practice models will assist in funding applications, strategy, service provision and evaluation of your Treaty-based practice. Ingrid will introduce the issues with a brief refresher on Waitangi Tribunal evidence of Māori aspirations for the Treaty relationship as shown in He Wakaputanga (the Declaration) and new evidence about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Rawiri will showcase his doctoral research into inter-generational impacts of colonisation, and show how trauma can be approached without activating a deficit perspective. He will cover current models which allow practitioners and clients to work respectfully together on analysis, action and aspirations. Within these frameworks, Western models such as CBT and Māori models such as Whare Tapa Wha can all be used. The workshop will include presentations, group discussions, and the opportunity for organisational strategising. (Bring your current strategy documents and funding applications, etc, with you to look at through a different lens during discussion). This workshop will appeal to managers, Board members, staff and volunteers in a wide range of health and social services. Students, too, are most welcome to attend.
