Abstract

Objectives Training in child and adolescent psychotherapy continues to be emphasized by accrediting organizations (ACGME and ABPN) but it is not known how these skills are taught and what types of therapy are highlighted in fellowships across the United States. Methods A 16-question anonymous online survey was developed by the authors and covered six main areas: demographics, the priority of psychotherapy in training, the competency goals for different psychotherapy modalities, training strategies, types of supervision, and program directors’ satisfaction of their training implementation and assessment of trainees. The survey was sent to every identified CAP program director during a three-month period in early 2017. Results Data was gathered from 53 of the 131 program directors surveyed, giving a 40% response rate. Ninety percent of CAP program directors strongly agree or agree that it is important to preserve and promote training and practice of psychotherapy. Most (83%) program directors indicated competence or expertise as a training goal for CBT with more variability among programs for other psychotherapies.
