| Popis: | OBJECTIVES: To describe the development and initial psychometric properties of the observer-rated Global Therapist Competence Scale for Youth Psychosocial Treatment (G-COMP) in the context of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for youth anxiety disorders. METHOD: Independent coders rated 744 sessions from a sample of 68 youth (M age = 10.56 years) using the G-COMP and observational instruments of alliance, involvement, CBT adherence, CBT competence. RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability coefficients (ICCs [2,2]) were greater than .60 for the five G-COMP domain scores. G-COMP scores yielded small to medium correlations with instruments of the child-therapist alliance (rs = .17 - .44) and youth involvement in treatment (rs = .08 - .53), and medium to large correlations with instruments of CBT competence and adherence (rs = .26 - .63). Therapists in the research setting were rated higher compared to newly trained therapists in community clinics. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary reliability and validity of the G-COMP scores are promising, but future research is needed with non-CBT samples. |
