“…The current research thus adds to the existing literature that (a) more highly trained clinicians have better formulation skills (Easden & Kazantzis, 2009; Haarhoff, 2009; Kuyken et al, 2005; Mumma & Mooney, 2007; Persons & Bertagnolli, 1999) and (b) training can improve competence in CBT in general (Freiheit & Overholser, 1997; Grey et al, 2008; Milne, Baker, Blackburn, James, & Reichelt, 1999). The current research adds to this by demonstrating that time-limited, low-cost training can be highly effective in improving formulation competence for clinicians with previous knowledge and can significantly bridge the gap between their perceived and actual competence in formulation for a specific anxiety disorder (OCD).…”

“…A role-play video was used to present a case to the participants. Previous studies (Kuyken, Fothergill, Musa, & Chadwick, 2005; Persons & Bertagnolli, 1999), exploring the impact of training on formulation skills, reported the use of audiotape and videotape to be useful tools, providing a real-world example to illustrate a theoretical problem (Bereiter, 2002). Therefore, it was considered that video presentation of clinical material was engaging and interesting to the participants.…”

“…The role-play video presented a range of case details, providing material that is essential to aspects of formulation in OCD. As suggested in previous research (Persons & Bertagnolli, 1999), the length of the video was 12 min.…”

The aim was to examine the impact of training on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) formulation skills.Eighty-five clinicians were randomly assigned to two experimental conditions. The experimental manipulation was the timing of assessment of formulation skills, that is, either before or after participation in a training workshop. The preworkshop results suggest that there may be a gap between self-appraisal and actual performance on a formulation task. Formulation skills of clinicians were significantly better after they had undertaken the workshop compared with the preworkshop group, as measured by the Rating the Quality of Case Formulation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (RQCFO). The current research suggests that time-limited, low-cost training can be effective in improving formulation competence for clinicians with previous knowledge.

Background. The ability to formulate presenting problems in psychotherapy is widely acknowledged, but little is known about the skills involved. Treatment manuals are necessarily directed to the general form of a problem and need to be invidualised to the specific needs and circumstance of someone seeking treatment through formulation. The individual case formulation (ICF) approach is based on the functional analysis tradition within behavior therapy but aims to employ clinical descriptions that are theory-free. Formulations are depicted in diagrams constructed according to a set of basic conventions. Aims. Following on previous preparatory studies, the present paper reports on a test of whether this method of analysis and representation could be taught and if the quality of the resulting diagrams could be reliably rated. Method. Participants (N = 40) participated in a training course in formulation for posttraumatic stress disorder that was either self administered or presented live online. Results. A draft rating scale was refined in the course of rating the resulting formulation diagrams and basic inter-rater reliability established, despite a relatively high rate of formulations that did not meet minimal standards. Exploratory analyses examined the relation of derived scores to participant professional characteristics. Discussion. Results of the study support further development of the ICF approach.

“…Furthermore, reflections on diagnostic classification, diagnostic formulation and treatment selection decisions during the stimulated recall interview are examined as well as descriptions of these decisions in the written reports. Studies by Persons and Bertagnolli (1995) and Kuyken, Fothergill, Musa, and Chadwick (2005) showed that psychologists agreed more with each other about descriptive information, such as diagnostic classification, than about more inferential information, such as diagnostic formulation. We expect psychologists to agree with each other about diagnostic classification and to disagree about diagnostic formulation and treatment selection.…”
