The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) is the primary organization representing psychologists throughout Canada. It was organized in 1939 and incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act, Part II, in May 1950.

Its objectives are to improve the health and welfare of all Canadians; to promote excellence and innovation in psychological research, education, and practice; to promote the advancement, development, dissemination, and application of psychological knowledge; and to provide high-quality services to members.^[2]

History

The CPA was founded in a University of Ottawa psychology lab in 1938,^[3] although it was not formally organized until 1939.^[4] Initially, the CPA's purpose was to help with Canada's contribution to World War II; indeed, the CPA was heavily involved with test construction for the Department of National Defence.^[4]

Organizational structure

CPA's head office is located in Ottawa, Ontario. The CPA has a directorate for each of its three pillars – science, practice, and education.

The Science Directorate's mandate is to lobby government for increased funding for psychological research, promote and support the work of Canadian researchers in psychology, and educate the public about important findings from psychological science.^[5]
The Practice Directorate's mandate is to support and facilitate advocacy for the practice of psychology across Canada.^[6]
The Education Directorate's mandate is to oversee the accreditation of doctoral and internship programmes in professional psychology.^[7]

The Board of Directors sets policies that guide the CPA. It is made up of Presidential Officers, Directors, and Executive Officers.^[8]

Membership

There are three main grades of membership:^[9]

Member: Masters or Doctoral degree in psychology, or its academic equivalent, conferred by a graduate school of recognized standing. Members must be residents of Canada or the US.
Fellows: members who have made a distinguished contribution to the advancement of the science or profession of psychology, or who have given exceptional service to their national or provincial associations.^[10]
Honorary Life Fellows/Honorary Life Members: members who are age 70 or higher, who have been regular Members of CPA for at least 25 years.

Publications

The CPA, in partnership with the American Psychological Association, quarterly publishes the following three academic journals:

The CPA also publishes a quarterly magazine called Psynopsis. Issues contain brief articles on specific themes relating to psychology, as well as updates from the head office of CPA, committee news, information about the annual convention, and much more.^[12]

Mind Pad is a professional newsletter that is written and reviewed by student affiliates of the Canadian Psychological Association. The newsletter is published biannually online.^[13]

Each year at the annual convention, CPA honors individuals who have made distinguished contributions to psychology in Canada with the following awards:

CPA Gold Medal Award For Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Canadian Psychology
