This study introduces the Basic Skills Evaluation Device (BSED) to help supervisors assess beginning family therapists

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Psychology
  • Family Therapy Training
  • Therapist Supervision

Background:

  • Accredited marriage and family therapy programs must evaluate trainee clinical skills.
  • The Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) does not specify evaluation methods.
  • Programs need standardized tools for assessing foundational therapist competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of the Basic Skills Evaluation Device (BSED).
  • To provide a reliable tool for supervisors to evaluate beginning family therapists.
  • To present data on the BSED's reliability and suggest implementation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the BSED based on a published skills list (Figley & Nelson, 1989) and existing literature.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Collected data from COAMFTE-accredited and candidacy programs.
  • Administered the BSED for supervisor evaluation of beginning therapists.

    • Main Results:

    • The BSED was developed through a systematic process incorporating expert input and empirical data.
    • Data on the reliability of the BSED are presented.
    • The study outlines limitations and offers suggestions for practical application.

    Conclusions:

    • The BSED offers a structured approach to evaluating essential clinical skills in novice family therapists.
    • This tool can aid programs in meeting accreditation requirements for skills assessment.
    • Further research should explore diverse applications and refine the evaluation process.
