"What Matters" in CBT
My colleagues, Kelly Koerner, PhD., Notre Dame doctoral students, David Rozek and Jamie Serrano and I are working on a project designed to help us figure out “what matters” in CBT. Based on the menu of CBT competencies developed by Roth and Pilling (2008), we developed a simple checklist of therapist behaviors or practice element that CBT therapists might use in any given session.
We are recruiting colleagues to help us assess the feasibility and utility of our instruments to address the question of “what matters?” in CBT.
Is It All In How You Think?
We are currently beginning a study to examine how a specific and common treatment component of CBT works. To do this, we will expose participants to this CBT treatment component before a laboratory controlled stressor. We are testing how this CBT treatment component works to change people’s thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and physiology. In addition to self-reported measures, we are investigating biological changes in neuroendocrine measures as well.

CBT KITE Program
Along with Cara Lewis, PhD., and the Indiana University, Bloomington, we are examining different sources of information regarding fidelity and competence in the delivery of CBT, especially in community settings. To do this we plan on examining how therapists, clients, supervisors, and independent observers rate fidelity and competency to CBT. Understanding where these ratings converge and diverge can help improve our understanding of CBT.
