Research in training clinics: a bridge between science and practice.

Clinics associated with psychology training programs have potential to generate important research data. The expectation that research be experimental in nature has limited the pursuit of research in training clinics. This type of efficacy study is not feasible in most clinics, where too much variation occurs as a result of training and administrative demands. Numerous process-outcome studies have been effectively conducted in training clinics. This article reviews some of these studies, identifies problems related to research in training clinics, and makes recommendations for the development of an enhanced research agenda for training clinics.

Supervision: its contributions to treatment efficacy.

The efficacy of supervision in training of psychotherapists is discussed in relation to (a) trainees' attitudes, beliefs, and skills, (b) trainee's performance in the therapist role, (c) interactional process events in supervision and psychotherapy, and, (d) client change. Although investigations to date suggest the potential of supervision for teaching advanced skills of psychotherapy, few studies exist that examine directly the relation of therapist performance and client change to supervision. There are virtually no studies that compare the efficacy of supervision to other training methods. If supervision is to remain an integral part of training, then standardized training manuals, analogous to those in psychotherapy, need to be developed.
