Therapists’ Perceived Competence in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client Outcomes: Findings From a Community-Based Learning Collaborative
Overview
This study investigates the relationship between community therapists' perceived competence in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and treatment outcomes for youth with posttraumatic stress and depression. The research analyzes data from 99 therapists in a learning collaborative, finding that higher perceived competence was associated with significant reductions in posttraumatic stress symptoms. While depressive symptom reduction was also observed, the link to therapist competence did not reach statistical significance. The authors suggest that monitoring therapist competency through such collaborative models may help improve clinical outcomes for trauma-exposed youth.
