Erfassung therapeutischer Kompetenzen in der Forschung und Praxis

Unter dem Begriff „psychotherapeutische Kompetenzen“ können unterschiedliche Eigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen von Therapeuten verstanden werden. Um zielgerichtet aus- und weiterbilden zu können, erscheint eine Definition relevanter Kompetenzen im Rahmen psychotherapeutischer Behandlungen als unabdingbare Voraussetzung. Zusätzlich ist es wichtig, eine zuverlässige Messung therapeutischer Kompetenzen zu ermöglichen.
