Abstract
Abstract
Assessment of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) competence is a critical
component in ensuring optimal clinical care, supporting therapists’ skill
acquisition, and facilitating continuing professional development. This article
provides a framework to support trainers, assessors, supervisors and therapists
when making decisions about selecting and implementing effective strategies for
assessing CBT competence. The framework draws on the existing evidence base to
address five central questions: Why assess CBT competence?;
What is CBT competence?; When should CBT
competence be assessed?; Who is best placed to assess CBT
competence?; and How should CBT competence be assessed? Various
methods of assessing CBT competence are explored and the potential benefits and
challenges are outlined. Recommendations are made about which approach to use
across different contexts and how to use these effectively to facilitate the
acquisition, enhancement and evaluation of CBT knowledge and skills.
