“…This result is consistent with previous studies (Anderson et al, 2009;Anderson, McClintock et al, 2016) and suggests the FIS total score can be regarded as a unidimensional scale.

“…This picture of little association between FIS and self-report scales was surprising, given the conceptual overlap and also given the findings of some previous studies (Anderson, Crowley et al, 2016;Anderson, McClintock et al, 2016).

“…For the FIS, Anderson et al (Anderson, Crowley et al, 2016;Anderson et al, 2009;Anderson, McClintock et al, 2016) reported on generally high internal consistency of FIS items, adequate levels of inter-rater agreement, and inconsistent relations with self-assessed social skills. For example, the FIS could be used to measure therapists' relational skills before and after trainings, such as AFT.…”

“…(Anderson & Patterson, 2013;Anderson et al, 2009) As briefly described above, the test asks participants to respond in a helpful fashion to several video stimulus clips simulating challenging therapy situations (see Anderson et al, 2009;Anderson, McClintock et al, 2016 (Anderson & Patterson, 2013). These coders were not used to code trainee therapists' responses (see below).…”

Objective This study aimed at a psychometric analysis of the Facilitative Interpersonal Skills (FIS) performance test, a test of therapist relational skills that has repeatedly been found to predict psychotherapy outcome. We investigated the reliability, unidimensionality, and convergent validity of a German language version and psychometrics relevant for repeated and short assessments. Method Thirty‐nine trainee therapists took the FIS performance test and responded to self‐report scales. Results Inter‐rater agreement and internal consistency were high. The findings suggest that the FIS is a unidimensional scale. Correlations between the FIS and self‐reported social skills, interpersonal problems, and working involvement were absent to low. FIS performance was independent from specific video stimuli and there was no indication of temporal effects. Conclusions The findings suggest that the FIS is robust and ready to be used in repeated assessments and in short form. Further conceptual clarification of the FIS is needed.

“…In addition, nonspecific elements—sometimes referred to as common factors (Barth et al 2011, Webb et al 2010)—were related to treatment effectiveness. These results are consistent with recent findings that showed among therapists in training, nonspecific skills (e.g., collaboration, empathy, and warmth) are independent contributors to patients’ outcomes (Anderson et al 2015), in particular for brief treatments (Anderson et al 2016). The competencies that providers need to deliver these nonspecific elements must be emphasized as a foundation for delivering psychological treatment.…”

Common mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress, are leading causes of disability worldwide. Treatment for these disorders is limited in low- and middle-income countries. This systematic review synthesizes the implementation processes and examines the effectiveness of psychological treatments for common mental disorders in adults delivered by nonspecialist providers in low- and middle-income countries. In total, 27 trials met the eligibility criteria; most treatments targeted depression or posttraumatic stress. Treatments were commonly delivered by community health workers or peers in primary care or community settings; they usually were delivered with fewer than 10 sessions over 2–3 months in an individual, face-to-face format. Treatments included common elements, such as nonspecific engagement and specific domains of behavioral, interpersonal, emotional, and cognitive elements. The pooled effect size was 0.49 (95% confidence interval = 0.36–0.62), favoring intervention conditions. Our review demonstrates that psychological treatments—comprising a parsimonious set of common elements and delivered by a low-cost, widely available human resource—have moderate to strong effects in reducing the burden of common mental disorders.
