Assessing Psychotherapy Competence
Abstract
Professor and Vice Chair for Education, General Residency Training Director, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas To the Editor: Once again, Academic Psychiatry is to be congratulated for an excellent special issue on Assessing Psychotherapy Competence (1). These papers will be a fine resource for me as a training director and, I assume, to many others as well. I would like to add some thoughts and observations in four areas from my vantage point of being heavily involved in the input process that led to the current Psychiatry Residency Review Committee (RRC) requirements: 1) psychiatry as the only specialty that has its own unique competency requirements; 2) the way competency was redefined in the RRC process; 3) how the particular forms of psychotherapy were selected; and 4) how the field has gone about defining and, by implication, measuring competency in psychotherapy. I could find no comment in any of the papers of this special issue on the fact that psychiatry appears to be the only specialty that has added specialty-specific competency requirements. Quite apart from the excellent points raised by Yager and Bienenfeld (2), does this put psychiatry ahead of the field or out in left
