Despite all the talk about "access to psychotherapy" in Quebec, nobody
is willing to make a small administrative tweak, a simple change to
insurance policies replacing the word "psychology" with "psychotherapy"
(which is now regulated in this province), so that more psychotherapy
services would- overnight- be made accessible to hundreds of thousands
of Quebecers at no additional cost to anyone!
Nobody is talking
about this or why it is not happening. I suspect a conflict of interest
of the Quebec Order of Psychologists which licenses both their own
psychologist members AND non-psychologist psychotherapists, their
competition.
There is currently a petition at the National Assembly
to ask that insurance policies make the changes necessary to respect
Quebecers' right to access psychotherapy provided by all licensed
psychotherapists in this province. The petition has over 1000
signatures, but nobody is talking about it.
Please talk about it!
