Single Case Archive (SCA) is an online archive of single-case studies in the field of psychotherapy, covering clinical, systematic, and experimental single-case research. Its goal is to support research, clinical practice, and teaching. It is not a MOOC or professional training platform in the usual sense, but rather an academic resource database with a search engine, helping users quickly find relatively homogeneous sets of cases by criteria such as patient diagnosis, treatment type, and the therapistβs theoretical orientation.
In terms of subject area, SCA focuses on psychotherapy, clinical psychology, psychoanalysis, and single-case research methods. It is suitable for literature searches, case meta-synthesis, clinical training, and course papers. As for delivery format, the text only mentions that a board member has previously delivered a webinar on case study methods; the platform itself does not present a structured system of live classes, recorded courses, or 1v1 instruction. No certification or certificate information is disclosed. The teaching language and website content are in English, which may pose a reading barrier for Chinese users.
SCAβs credibility mainly comes from its academic team. The project was originally developed by the Department of Psychoanalysis at Ghent University in Belgium, and in 2015 launched a professional search system with funding from the University of Essex in the UK. Board members come from institutions such as UniversitΓ© catholique de Louvain and Ghent University, with backgrounds in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, clinical psychology, and process-outcome research. Cases are also selected and documented by an international team of researchers, covering information about the study, patient, therapist, and treatment.
The text does not disclose pricing or payment methods. The site indicates that users can register to obtain full access to the Archive, but accounts must be reviewed and activated by the SCA team. The terms also state that access to some areas is restricted, and that the team only approves users with scientific or clinical interests, with review criteria including name, email address, and institutional affiliation. As such, it is closer to an academically gated resource than a pay-and-learn product.
Its strengths are its highly specialized focus, systematic organization of materials, practical search dimensions, and encouragement for users to recommend or submit cases. Its limitations are the lack of a course-based learning pathway, the fact that it cannot replace systematic psychotherapy or counseling training, incomplete openness of full access, and the note that the information does not constitute professional advice. It is suitable for psychotherapy researchers, clinicians, psychology students, and anyone who needs to find English-language case studies.
The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, network stability, or local payment options, so this remains unknown. If access is unstable, alternatives may include PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, university library databases, and psychotherapy case study textbooks.
