The effect of case conceptualization training on counselor competence and the influence of self-efficacy
- Date Issued:
- 2015
- Summary:
- This study investigated the extent to which formal training in developing effective case conceptualizations increased counselor competence among participants compared to those who were not exposed to the training. A total of 145 counselor trainees were recruited from three South Florida Universities. Participants in both the treatment group and comparison group received a brief lecture on case conceptualization, while those in the treatment group were trained to develop effective case conceptualizations using an integrative model. The brief lecture effectively reduced myths about case conceptualization for both the treatment and comparison group participants (p < 0.001). Oneway ANOVA results showed the effectiveness of the specific training (p < 0.001). The treatment group had a significantly higher mean score (M = 44.12; SD = 9.84) than the comparison group (M = 24.23; SD = 8.29). There was no significant difference in participants’ CCEF pre-test scores, therefore, they were treated as a non-treatment group and compared to the CCEF post-test scores of the comparison group and treatment group.
