Abstract

Abstract Despite the important impact that program directors can have upon a mental health training program, there is surprisingly little literature on program directors. This article builds on the existing literature by providing a candid insider’s perspective on what it is like to be a program director of a mental health training program. The article describes twelve areas where program directors may experience challenges, such as developing a leadership style, the potential impact on relationships (e.g., power), managing triangulation, addressing the impact of the role on teaching and scholarship, dealing with burnout, managing accreditation, and working with university administrators. In each of these areas, recommendations for how a program director might navigate these challenges are offered. The article concludes with a call for more research on this topic given the limited literature.

作为一个心理健康培训项目的项目主管——一个坦率的反思

尽管项目主管对心理健康培训项目具有重要影响，但令人惊讶的是，关于项目主管的文献很少。这篇文章建立在现有文献的基础上，提供了一个坦率的内部人士的观点，关于心理健康培训项目的项目主任是什么样子的。这篇文章描述了12个项目主管可能会遇到挑战的领域，比如发展领导风格，对关系的潜在影响(例如，权力)，管理三角测量，解决角色对教学和奖学金的影响，处理倦怠，管理认证，以及与大学管理人员合作。在这些领域中，对项目主管如何应对这些挑战提出了建议。文章最后呼吁对这一主题进行更多的研究，因为文献有限。
