Abstract

Abstract: Background: Feedback is considered one of the most important strategies in psychotherapy training. Objective: We investigated the effect of competence feedback on therapist self-perceived competence, professional self-confidence, and tendency to self-disclosure in supervision. Method: Master-level psychotherapy trainees ( N = 67) were randomly assigned to a competence feedback group (CFG) or a control group (CG). Trainees in CFG repeatedly received feedback regarding their therapeutic competencies during cognitive behavioral therapy for 114 patients with a major depressive disorder. Feedback was provided by licensed psychotherapists, based on video tapes of the treatments. Trainees’ therapeutic competencies, professional self-confidence, and tendency to self-disclosure in supervision were evaluated by self-report questionnaires. Results: Self-perceived competence improved significantly more in the CFG than in the CG. Professional self-confidence improved overall, but no differences between CFG and CG were found. Self-disclosure did not change significantly in general. Conclusion: We conclude that specific training strategies are necessary for achieving specific training aims.

能力反馈对心理治疗学员自我感知能力、职业自信和自我表露的影响

摘要：背景：反馈被认为是心理治疗训练中最重要的策略之一。目的：研究能力反馈对治疗师自我感知能力、职业自信和监督中自我披露倾向的影响。方法：将67名硕士级心理治疗学员随机分为能力反馈组（CFG）和对照组（CG）。CFG的受训人员在114名重度抑郁症患者的认知行为治疗中反复收到关于他们治疗能力的反馈。有执照的心理治疗师根据治疗录像带提供反馈。学员的治疗能力、职业自信和在监督中自我披露的倾向通过自我报告问卷进行评估。结果：CFG组的自我感觉能力比CG组明显提高。职业自信心总体上有所提高，但CFG和CG之间没有差异。自我披露总体上没有显著变化。结论：我们得出结论，具体的培训策略对于实现具体的培训目标是必要的。
