Abstract

adult learning cognitive behavioral therapy training formative feedback patient‐derived feedback problematic trainees skill training summative feedback
Performance feedback is a necessary ingredient in developing and refining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills. This chapter illustrates how feedback is used in skill acquisition, and discusses how to provide summative feedback in a nonthreatening and meaningful way. It suggests techniques for giving feedback to problematic trainees, and describes the use of feedback to promote expertise. The chapter also inspires the use of patient feedback in an ongoing way to promote better patient outcomes. Formative feedback must include information about what the trainee does well. This reduces the trainee's anxiety about receiving feedback and makes it more likely that he or she can then absorb constructive criticism. One of the most important things CBT educators do when teaching trainees is to use the same tools that the therapeutic process incorporates in helping patients acquire skills. Key principles of adult learning are vital to this endeavor.
