title: Building an Evidence Base for Effective Supervision Practices: An Analogue Experiment of Supervision to Increase EBT Fidelity.
abstract: Treatments that are efficacious in research trials perform less well under routine conditions; differences in supervision may be one contributing factor. This study compared the effect of supervision using active learning techniques (e.g. role play, corrective feedback) versus "supervision as usual" on therapist cognitive restructuring fidelity, overall CBT competence, and CBT expertise. Forty therapist trainees attended a training workshop and were randomized to supervision condition. Outcomes were assessed using behavioral rehearsals pre- and immediately post-training, and after three supervision meetings. EBT knowledge, attitudes, and fidelity improved for all participants post-training, but only the SUP+ group demonstrated improvement following supervision.
