MEASURES OF COMPETENCE IN COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Teaching and Supervising Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
30 Nov 2015
Abstract
This chapter describes existing measures of competence in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), illustrates the use of such measures in training, and also describes obstacles and confidentiality issues to address. It explains the scoring of the cognitive therapy scale (CTS) and discusses the next steps in the need for development of competence measures. Many measures of patient declarative and procedural knowledge that exist are an indirect reflection of a therapist's skills. With newer measures that have been developed to assess fidelity, it remains easier to obtain interrater reliability regarding adherence than regarding competence, even when coders undergo extensive training and practice in groups to increase their reliability. The chapter shows how several organizations certify competence in CBT therapists. The future development of valid measures of CBT quality will improve the ability to educate therapists and disseminate treatment in a more targeted and efficient way.
