The College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy promotes competency through an ongoing process of peer review which is a central aspect of our covenant relationship and Chapter life.
CPSP is unique among the national pastoral training and certifying organizations. Credential’s held by CPSP members are renewed annually and contingent upon satisfactory participation in Chapter life and the Chapter's recomendation for renewal.
CPSP understands its task to be first and foremost theological and that ongoing peer review is centered in the CPSP covenant. Within Chapter life, CPSP members covenant together to being held mutually responsible to one another for their ongoing personal/professional development and direction.
Peer review for the majority of our professional colleagues is something that occurs every five years in contrast to CPSP members for whom it is an ongoing feature of Chapter life. In this way CPSP has set the industry standard for a peer review process which is the most dynamic of any of the national pastoral care training and certifying bodies and one that best promotes competence.
George Hankins Hull is Director of Pastoral Care & Clinical Pastoral Education at the UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, AR. In addition to many leadership responsibilities, he serves as a member of the CPSP Chapter Life Committee.
