Competencies of the Clinical Supervisor in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A Scoping Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1590/Abstract
The clinical supervision mode based on therapeutic competencies has gained prominence and empirical support. This review article aimed to map and synthesize the relevant literature available on the competencies of the clinical supervisor in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. The review was conducted following the scoping methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute and in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. Twenty-five articles were selected, identifying multiple categories for the analysis of therapeutic competencies: (a) basic; (b) transcultural; and (c) metacompetencies, in addition to studies that subdivided competencies into those related to individual, group, and online supervision. The findings highlight the importance of the supervisor’s prior training and the prior and explicit definition of the competencies and/or domains to be observed and developed throughout the clinical supervision assessment cycles.
