Description
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.
