Professional Issues Board seeking members for Māori Cultural Advisory Group The Board is looking for members to sit on their new Māori Cultural Advisory Group. For info go to http:// www.psychologistsboard.org.nz/what-s-new/what-snew#CARG.

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 the year draws to a close, I was thinking that I could write about therapeutic endings, and all the relevant ethical considerations for psychologists in this regard; but in a conversation with one of my colleagues she suggested that I write about the unexpected ending of a therapeutic relationship, particularly when therapists pass away. This is certainly not an easy thing to think about, and I realised that I had not given this much thought – how to put measures in place to ensure that my clients will receive continuity of care and support in my absence. The relevant section in the Code of Ethics is Principle 1 - Respect for the Dignity of Persons and Peoples, and more specifically 1.6.7: “Psychologists retain information as defined in current legislation or ethical guidelines (for research data). (a) Information includes paper records and computer records. (b) Records should be accessible and legible. (c) Adequate plans should be made for access to and disposal of records for circumstances of one’s serious illness or death”. I also consulted the Psychologists Board’s Best Practice Guidelines on Record Keeping, which contained a wealth of information on this topic. I will summarise the main points in this document, although it is well worth reading (link at the end of the column). As part of ethical psychological practice, record keeping, retention and ensuring continuity of service provision are all relevant to this discussion of putting measures Page 2

in place to provide our clients with the best care. It is useful to remember that “Records should be full enough to accurately track the initial assessment, formulation, planning and the progress of intervention. Risk assessment issues should be noted as well as any “out of the ordinary” communications. There should be sufficient detail to show professional judgement and the basis of decision making” (New Zealand Psychologists Board, 2011). Secondly, arrangements should be in place for the retention of records for 10 years after the most recent treatment. The retention of records could be in paper format or electronically, but sufficient care needs to be taken to ensure that the confidentiality of these records is protected. Of interest is that any electronic cloud service that is located in a different country than New Zealand poses a significant confidentiality risk, as the government of that country can access the data without seeking permission from the author or owner of the data. This might be the case with Apple services and is worth confirming. In our planning for a sudden interruption of therapeutic services to clients, either through illness of death, there are a number of things to think about. These include providing clear directions in our professional will for the safe transfer and storage of our client records. In the best practice guidelines the Board states that it is “considering making it mandatory for practitioners to declare when renewing their APC that such arrangements are in place”. Our planning also needs to address the following issues: 1. Who will have access to my computer to safely retain/discard confidential client information such as emails, files and practice calendars? How do I provide this person with the password for my electronic device given that we are all constantly reminded to change our passwords? 2. Who will contact my clients and ask them what they would like to do with their records? Again, it is important to remember that our client records can be accessed by the client at any time, and should only contain relevant information to their care. The APA guidelines on Record Keeping discusses the

requirement of a “Record Transfer/Disposition Plan” which is considered part of ethical practice. I think this is a very useful concept, and something to think about including in our wills or retirement plans. A record transfer/disposition plan could include the following: Who is the person that you nominate to transfer control of your client records to? Is this person aware of the location of your records and do they have access (spare key, password)? Would you like the same person to contact your clients? Will this also be the practitioner that will offer continuity of care to your current clients, or would you like them to be referred to another practitioner? We can clearly avoid many of the thorny issues related to this topic by ensuring that we have a professional will in place, that our records are stored safely and securely, and that we only retain information in client records that will ensure continuity of care. While we all hope that this will never be an unexpected outcome for anyone, it is important to remember that life is unpredictable. Discuss this with your colleagues sooner rather than later, talk to your attorney and make sure that this is included in your CCP. I am curious to know if any of you have considered additional actions relating to this topic, that I have not mentioned in this column –let me know on [email protected]. http://www.psychologistsboard.org.nz/best-practicedocuments-and-guidelines2

Student Space From your student repMichele Blick New NZPsS Scholarship for students In 2017 the NZPsS will offer a new sholarship for student subscribers of the NZPsS. This scholarship is intended to support students to conduct research on a significant social justice issue e.g. poverty, social inequality, discrimination etc. as part of a recognized post-graduate degree in psychology at a New Zealand university. The scholarship is work $5000. Applications for the scholarship will be called for in early 2017.

Applications for the Motu Thesis Scholarship are now open Every year, the Motu Research and Education Foundation offers a one-year $10,000 scholarship to a promising university student of Māori descent planning to work on an Honours, Masters or PhD thesis. The preference is that this topic be in economics, or some other social science, and use a quantitative methodology. http://motu.nz/ about-us/scholarships/

Psychology Week – ‘Living Life Well’ Psychology Week events are being held all around the country from 21-27 November. The purpose of Psychology Week is to raise public awareness of psychology and well-being. Institutes and Branches have planned a variety of events and student involvement enhances these events. Members of the public are often curious about the training involved to become Page 3

a psychologist and students are well placed to answer these questions. At a meeting last month, Branch and Institute chairs shared information about the ways that students are involved in this year’s Psychology Week. I encourage you to contact your Branch/Institute student rep to find out how you can get involved in Psychology Week.

Exam Stress As a student, there’s no way to avoid exams. Whether they are written or oral, they’re going to happen. With exams often comes elevated levels of stress. Small amounts of stress can be beneficial – it can be motivating and increase your productivity. However, high levels of stress can be detrimental. To learn more about managing stress, have a look at the following link from Massey University http:// www.massey.ac.nz/massey/student-life/services-andresources/health-counselling-services/counsellingresources/resource-index/anxiety-and-stress/managingstress.cfm. Massey University has also made available Counselling Resources on the Web (CROW) http://www.massey.ac.nz/ massey/student-life/services-and-resources/healthcounselling-services/counselling-resources/resourceindex/anxiety-and-stress/anxiety_home.cfm Also helpful might be the following information from University College London on Coping with Exam Anxiety http://www.ucl.ac.uk/student-psychological-services/ other-resources/ExamAnxiety Good luck!

Annual Conference 2016 Alysha Simonsen is an Intern Health Psychologist studying at the University of Auckland. Her placement is at ProCare Psychological Services. Alysha shares her experience of attending this year’s conference. I was lucky enough to attend this year’s NZPsS Psychology Without Borders Conference and it was an

amazing long weekend filled with learning, re-learning, unique and amazing interactions, and an inappropriate amount of catering. This is an amazing and affordable experience for students and I highly recommend attending if you can! For me there were a few highlights - possibly my favourite talk, one that I’m still mulling over now, was ‘Self-harm Beyond Emotion Regulation’ by Jennifer Muehlenkamp. This talk introduced me to the notion of ‘body regard’ how one perceives, experiences, and cares for the body, which is an amazing concept and I think quite useful clinically. Another favourite talk was Jan Jordan’s “’Rape Culture’: Myth or Reality?” - I think everyone watching was compelled to join Jan in her fight against Rape Culture. As a (nearly) health psychologist I was also really pleased to see the following integrated into the conference talks about working with health conditions, social and psychological support in cancer, renal donor assessments, and pre-diabetes research. One of the great things about this conference was the variety of topics and genres, delivered by people from diverse backgrounds, so much so that it was a source of anxiety each day making last minute decisions about which talks I wanted to attend most! I came away from the conference with a renewed interest in a variety of topics that I either hadn’t yet discovered or hadn’t thought about in a long time. Also, a long, long reading list, new friends, and a sense of belonging to the psychological community. I also came away with 3-4 pieces of baking wrapped in serviettes - kia ora to the caterers! A warm thank you to NZPSS for having us. Nga mihi, Kia maumahara ki tou, mana a hua ake! Alysha Simonsen Intern Health Psychologist, University of Auckland, ProCare Psychological Services

Student Feedback Approximately forty students attended the free student breakfast at conference. This was a fantastic opportunity to network and make new friends. It was also a valuable time for students to get together in groups to discuss topics related to their involvement with the NZPsS as student subscribers. The feedback provides valuable information that will enable the NZPsS to explore ways to continue supporting students. This feedback will be discussed at the next executive committee meeting. Please continue sharing your thoughts with me via email ([email protected]).

NZPsS ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2017 30 &31 August and 1 & 2 September 2017 at the Rydges Hotel in Christchurch.

PsychDirect is a referral search facility that allows NZPsS members to have their practice details accessed by members of the public looking for a psychologist in private practice in New Zealand. PsychDirect is linked directly from the NZPsS Home page via the menu item “Find a Psychologist”. The listings on PsychDirect are available to NZ registered, Full Members of the Society with a current APC, offering private psychology services in New Zealand. PsychDirect is searchable by psychology work area, geographic location, and client type and/ or psychologist surname. “Additional languages spoken” is a further option which is very helpful when looking for help with specific cultural requirements.

PsychDirect is now offered free of charge to all existing and new members.

Mentoring Service for those new to NZ or recently graduated The Society is about to set up a mentoring database to assist members who are new to NZ or who have recently graduated giving them the opportunity to talk with an established colleague. How is mentoring different from professional supervision? Mentoring is different from professional supervision. Supervision is a formal relationship focused on work with clients within which the supervisor often carries responsibility for the safe practice of the supervisee. Mentoring, on the other hand, is an informal supportive relationship designed to help new graduates or newcomers to New Zealand to negotiate the broader professional environment. This might for example involve discussing opportunities for career development or offering reflections about what helped you in your own career. It would not ordinarily involve discussion of actual client work. Professional supervisors usually charge a fee for supervision whereas a mentoring relationship is normally a collegial relationship without a fee. If you would like to put yourself forward as a mentor on the NZPsS database please contact us at pd@psychology. org.nz and we will provide more information.

Want to offer your services as a supervisor.... or find a Supervisor? Look online on the NZPsS website This is a new NZPsS member service and is on the members-only section of the website. Haven’t used the pages yet and need a new login link?- email Helen at membership@ psychology.org.nz and she will assist you.

“Who Guards the Guards?” A Self-care Workshop for Mental Health Professionals By James L. Brown, University of Southern Queensland

A half-day workshop exploring the necessity of maintaining good self-care, with practical evidence-based strategies, and an experiential format. Participants will explore the occupational risks and hazards of the profession, and how they can be mitigated against by developing and implementing a self-care plan. The content is based on the work of Norcross and Guy on research supported self-care practices, with topics including self-awareness and self-monitoring, acknowledge the hazards, refocus on the rewards, minding the body, supportive relationships, boundary setting, cognitive restructuring, healthy escapes, flourishing environment, personal therapy, cultivating a mission or purpose, and fostering creativity and growth. At the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a determination to maintain their own self-care, which will aid their effectiveness as professionals, and improve their job satisfaction and career durability in the long term.
