Cognitive therapy competence scale

Cognitive therapy competence scale for social phobia
 
Therapist competence has typically been measured by two trained independent assessors who score two separate sessional videotapes using a 0 to 6 scale “with ratings of 0 indicating poor therapist performance and ratings of 6 indicating excellent competence.” Competence scores have predicted outcome‚ particularly the six starred items. Note that highly trained/supervised‚ successful therapists only averaged a score of 2.9.
 
please use the 0 to 6 scale on the right – the numbers indicate therapist competence
