Abstract
This current study had two goals:
1. To examine the changes in various performance measures
as residents progress through psychotherapy training
2. To explore correlations among various measures of psychotherapy
competence
Conclusions:
- Resident self-assessment does not appear to reflect competence
as assessed by supervisors, or knowledge as assessed by objective
tests. - Global supervisor evaluations do not appear to reliably measure
competence. - Standardized supervisor assessment instruments are needed.
- Further work is needed to develop reliable, valid measures of
competency.
