Summary
The training of mental health practitioners has seen a growing focus on core competencies in recent years in response to the need for guidance in the implementation of evidence-based treatment of mental disorders. This chapter outlines the aims and advantages of a competency-based approach and describes existing models of competencies in the treatment of adults, children and adolescents. For the most part, existing models have focused on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to the exclusion of other evidence-based approaches and on individual therapy at the expense of treatment in which family members are actively involved. We present a novel model of the therapist competencies needed for the effective delivery of evidence-based family interventions for common child and adolescent mental health disorders. The proposed framework provides a potential foundation for curricula planning and assessment in practitioner training and stands to inform evidence-based practice guidelines and future research into professional development.
