TL;DR: CBT supervisors have the multiple responsibilities of serving as professional role models for their supervisees, nurturing the latter's professional development (although also being ready to identify and remediate problems in the supervisee's performance), and engaging in ongoing self-improvement and education to function most effectively as clinical mentors.
Abstract: The delivery of cognitive– behavioral therapy (CBT) is described in terms of foundational and functional competencies, with additional attention paid to how these skills are applied in clinical supervision. Foundational competencies include such qualities as ethical behavior, good interpersonal relational skills, a healthy capacity for self-awareness and self-correction, cross-cultural sensitivity, and an appreciation for the empirical basis of clinical procedures. Functional competencies include the ability to think like an empiricist and to teach clients to do the same, to conceptualize cases in terms of maladaptive beliefs and behavioral patterns, to structure sessions in an organized and time-effective manner, and to assign and review homework assignments. CBT supervisors have the multiple responsibilities of serving as professional role models for their supervisees, nurturing the latter’s professional development (although also being ready to identify and remediate problems in the supervisee’s performance), and engaging in ongoing self-improvement and education to function most effectively as clinical mentors. A brief, descriptive supervisory vignette is presented.

  • ...Further, though competency in doing CBT has been found to be positively related to client responsivity (Kuyken & Tsivrikos, 2009; Trepka, Rees, Shapiro, Hardy, & Barkham, 2004), client characteristics still account for a significant proportion of the variance in outcome (Garfield, 1994)....

TL;DR: This study organizes the significant empirical data on struggle into a coherent, operational framework for use by therapists in preventing and/or ameliorating harmful struggle in therapy into a three-factor model.
Abstract: Resistance or struggle in therapy looms large as a predictor of treatment outcomes. This study organizes the significant empirical data on struggle into a coherent, operational framework for use by therapists in preventing and/or ameliorating harmful struggle in therapy. First, we review the prevalence and significance of struggle. Second, we offer a historical and conceptual overview, with emphasis on a contemporary interactional/systemic perspective on struggle. Third, we provide a synthesis of peer-reviewed research, profiling struggle at speech-act and episode levels of interaction process and across assessment/joining, intervention, and integration-consolidation phases of therapy. Fourth, based upon this review, we propose a three-factor model--consisting of eliciting dialogue, enactments, and accommodation--for successful therapy process relative to the occurrence of struggle.

TL;DR: This article considers the benefits of sexual offender treatment in terms of the magnitude of the effect size produced by these interventions, and suggests that using a harm reduction index to estimate effect sizes for treatment with sexual offenders would produce more meaningful results.
Abstract: This article considers the benefits of sexual offender treatment in terms of the magnitude of the effect size produced by these interventions. Comparisons are made of the effect sizes with those generated by treatment of other offenders, by treatment for mental health problems, and by treatment for physical health problems. In all cases, effect sizes with sexual offenders are comparable to (and in some cases better than) effect sizes for the treatment of the other groups. As a final note, it is suggested that using a harm reduction index to estimate effect sizes for treatment with sexual offenders would produce more meaningful results.

  • ...The interpersonal stance achieved by this method, which combines empathic caring and autonomy giving, is identical with the attitude and behavior associated with positive therapeutic outcomes in many studies (Beutler et al,, 1986)—the Rogerian facilitative conditions and related constructs (Rogers et al,, 1967)....
