  • Program provides rapid feedback on formal aspects of case conceptualizations, such as coherence.
  • A controlled trial involving 34 therapists evaluated the program's impact.

    • Main Results:

    • The training program demonstrated good acceptance among participating therapists.
    • Significant improvements were observed in several quality criteria for case representations.
    • The computer-assisted approach effectively supported the elaboration of differentiated case conceptualizations.

    Conclusions:

    • The innovative computer-assisted program is effective in training therapists to develop higher-quality case conceptualizations.
    • This approach offers a valuable tool for enhancing psychotherapy training and improving patient care.
    • Further integration of technology in clinical training can lead to significant professional development.
