Abstract

Abstract The psychological literature highlights experiential avoidance as a transdiagnostic maintenance factor for a number of psychopathologies. Some attention has been given to therapist experiential avoidance, with the suggestion that this interferes with the acquisition and execution of CBT skills; there is, however, a paucity of research directly examining this relationship. This study aimed to measure experiential avoidance in trainee cognitive behavioural therapists, and establish any relationships with observed clinical competence. Twenty-nine trainee therapists took part in the study; levels of experiential avoidance were measured using the Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire and were analysed in relation to observed CBT skills assessed using the Cognitive Therapy Scale (Revised). No overall relationship between therapist experiential avoidance and clinical competency was observed. However, a number of significant associations were observed between individual dimensions of therapist experiential avoidance and CBT skills in collaboration, guided discovery, conceptual integration and homework setting. Aspects of therapist experiential avoidance during training may therefore be associated with the acquisition of key CBT skills. Tentative interpretations and recommendations for CBT training and supervision have been made, although further investigation is required. Key learning aims (1) To understand the role of experiential avoidance in psychopathology. (2) To understand the relevance of client experiential avoidance as part of CBT treatment. (3) To examine the potential impact of therapist experiential avoidance on the development and execution of key CBT skills. (4) To consider implications for CBT training, supervision and clinical practice.
训练中治疗师经验回避与观察到的CBT能力关系的初步研究
心理学文献强调经验回避是许多精神病理学的跨诊断维持因素。对治疗师的经验回避给予了一些关注,认为这会干扰CBT技能的获得和执行;然而,直接检验这种关系的研究很少。本研究旨在测量受训认知行为治疗师的经验回避,并建立观察到的临床能力之间的关系。29名实习治疗师参加了这项研究;使用多维体验回避问卷测量体验回避水平,并使用认知治疗量表(修订版)对观察到的CBT技能进行分析。治疗师经验回避与临床胜任之间没有整体关系。然而,在合作、引导发现、概念整合和作业设置方面,治疗师体验回避的个体维度与CBT技能之间存在显著关联。因此,治疗师在培训期间的经验回避可能与关键CBT技能的习得有关。虽然需要进一步的调查,但对CBT培训和监督的初步解释和建议已经提出。(1)了解经验回避在精神病理学中的作用。(2)了解来访者体验回避作为CBT治疗一部分的相关性。(3)探讨治疗师体验回避对CBT关键技能发展和执行的潜在影响。(4)考虑对CBT培训、监督和临床实践的影响。
