Brief Summary:
The project is a longitudinal observation study that aims to systematically evaluate selected parts of the material collected within the framework of the psychotherapy training conducted at the Center of Psychotherapy Education and Research unit at Karolinska Institutet and Region Stockholm, Sweden. Students at the unit, patients being administered psychotherapy by the students, and supervisors will participate in the study.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the associations between (1) content and quality of psychotherapy supervision, (2) student therapists' competence, and (3) patient outcomes following student-led psychotherapy.

Detailed Description:
The project is a longitudinal observation study that aims to systematically evaluate selected parts of the material collected within the framework of the psychotherapy training conducted at the Center of Psychotherapy Education and Research unit at Karolinska Institutet and Region Stockholm, Sweden, from 2023 - 2028. The courses/programs that will be included in the project are the psychotherapist program (six semesters), the specialist training for psychologists in adult psychiatry (six semesters), the basic training in evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods (three semesters), and the basic training in psychotherapy for residents in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry (two semesters). The element of the programs that will be evaluated is student-led psychotherapy, in which students conduct psychotherapy with patients in the public health care system.
The study's research subjects are supervisors, students, and their patients from the unit's student-led psychotherapies. Data consists of material that the supervisors and students have collected within the framework of the educational setting; the data are placed and stored on a secure digital platform (BASS). For objective estimates, the project also intends to code selected audio-recorded psychotherapy and supervision sessions.
The primary research questions are:
1. Do psychotherapy students' general and specific psychotherapy competence increase over time during training?
2. Can statistically significant and/or clinically meaningful patient improvements be observed after student-led psychotherapy?
3. Is students' psychotherapy competence significantly associated with patient outcomes?
4. Are aspects (content and quality) of the psychotherapy supervision setting significantly related to improved student therapists' competence?
The project also aims to psychometrically evaluate (validity and reliability) some of the included instruments.
