Clinical Trial Summary

Although clinical supervision is an essential part of psychotherapy training and development, the empirical evidence for effects on therapist competence and patient outcome is limited. However, a novel format, Live Supervision (LS), enables real time feedback during the patient session which counteracts on several of the major identified problems with standard supervision. Pilot studies of LS show promising results, but the effects of LS has never been assessed in a clinical setting with licensed psychologists. Furthermore, manualized LS with a stringent focus at therapists' idiosyncratic challenges has never been evaluated. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of LS on therapist competence and perceived therapy challenges in a clinical outpatient setting with licensed psychologists as therapists. Secondary aims are to examine when and how LS is optimal for clinical supervision.


Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To evaluate the effects of LS on therapist competence and perceived therapy challenges with both qualitative and quantitative data in a sample of licensed psychotherapists working with CBT in outpatient psychiatry or primary care. Methods: The study will use a replicated Single Case Experimental Design (SCED) with randomized multiple baselines in combination with qualitative interviews at the end of the trial. Each therapist (n = 6) will take part in the study with one patient for a period of 14 therapy sessions of which 5-9 sessions (randomized for each therapist) consist of the baseline phase, followed by the intervention phase (Live Supervision) for the rest of the study period (5-9 sessions). Primary outcome measures will be observer rated competence and observer and therapist rated goal attainment. Secondary outcome measure will be the quality of therapy sessions from the perspective of the patients and observer rated competence according to the supervisors perception of the most prevalent skill deficiency of the therapist. The qualitative data collection will focus on a systemization of how and when LS is for optimal use as well as mapping the degree of correspondence between patients, therapists, and supervisors regarding the therapists competences and skill deficiencies. ;
