    Psychiatric residents showed significant improvement in 7 psychotherapeutic skills during their third year of training. These gains highlight skills readily acquired through supervision and practical experience in psychotherapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Training
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Psychiatric residents undergo extensive training to develop essential psychotherapeutic skills.
    • Evaluating the developmental trajectory of these skills is crucial for optimizing training programs.
    • The third year of residency is a critical period for consolidating foundational psychotherapy competencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the evolution of psychotherapeutic skills in third-year psychiatric residents over an 8-month period.
    • To identify specific psychotherapy skills that demonstrate significant change during early clinical experience.
    • To understand which aspects of psychotherapy are most amenable to learning with supervision.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 29-item Supervisors Evaluation Scale to measure psychotherapy skills.

  • Supervisors rated residents on the scale at the beginning of training and 8 months later.
  • Statistical analysis was used to compare skill ratings over time.
  • Main Results:

    • Statistically significant changes were observed in 7 of the measured psychotherapeutic skills.
    • These findings indicate measurable skill development within an 8-month training interval.
    • The identified skills represent areas where novice therapists can readily learn and improve.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychiatric residents demonstrate significant development in specific psychotherapeutic skills during their third year.
    • Supervised clinical experience facilitates the acquisition of core psychotherapy competencies.
    • The findings suggest that targeted supervision and practice are effective in enhancing early-stage therapeutic abilities.
