Abstract

Background: Scales for assessing competence in CBT make an important contribution to research and practice. Aims: To develop a novel scale. Method: A new structured assessment tool is described, which draws on a widely-used CBT competence framework to identify relevant areas of clinical practice. Results: Scale content was clarified through piloting and review by a range of stakeholders. Conclusion: Pending formal testing of the psychometric properties, the scale is ready for use to assess competences in cognitive and behavioural therapy.
