Psychologists’ definitions of resilience 18 competency based professional development strategies and lack of underpinning theoretical knowledge can reduce the effectiveness of interventions. Implications for the Discipline of Psychology and for Psychological Practice 1. Internationally, there is an increasing focus on the work in positive psychology and Western Australian psychologists need to ensure that they adopt or are at least aware of the strategies that support this type of practice. 2. Resilience is used by a variety of health professionals and is often based in a systems framework (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). 3. The scientist-practitioner model needs to be reinforced to encourage practitioners to apply research findings to their clinical practice and for practitioners to consider undertaking research as part of their daily practice. 4. Research psychologists should encourage the participation of practitioners in research projects. This will have the dual effect of reinforcing the scientistpractitioner model which is emphasised in the undergraduate curriculum, but less so in post graduate psychology courses. It would also assist in the development of client-appropriate interventions that are more easily adopted by practicing psychologists. Therefore such a strategy would reduce the scientist-practitioner gap that currently exists. 5. It would appear that a number of psychologists are not familiar with the concept of resilience and that professional development might encourage such psychologists to engage with strengthbased interventions. 6. Resilience researchers should encourage the use of strength-based interventions by making their research relevant to particular groups of clients and addressing the need for practicing psychologists to access interventions that work with a diverse range of people across the lifespan. 7. Resilience researchers need to locate their research in contexts that facilitate understanding of the concepts and the use of resilience strategies in addressing clients’ needs. This involves the recruitment of industry partners for resilience research. References Adame, A. L., & Leitner, L. M. (2008).
