Abstract

ABSTRACT Sixty-nine psychology students (M = 24.93 years, 82.6% female, 81% B.Sc. level) were randomly assigned to live supervision or a control group in an experiment with two simulated therapy sessions. In Session 1, their task was to conduct the beginning of a cognitive-behavioral therapy session with a standardized patient. In Session 2, all students repeated the task, but only one group received live supervision from a licensed psychotherapist. Live supervision improved students’ (observer-based) skills (ds ≥0.91), and students were satisfied with the feedback. In terms of self-efficacy and self-assessed skills, live supervision had no significant advantage over merely practicing.
