“…These opinions serve to emphasize the value for proper training toward the examination and raise the question whether FMGs need additional training in this respect. Recent research on teaching interviewing skills to psychiatric residents revealed that FMGs benefited particularly from such an educational exercise (5). The opinions of these respondents stand in contrast with those offourth year residents about to face the examination.…”

Almost half the candidates of the 1976-77 certification examination in psychiatry answered a questionnaire seeking their opinions about the examination after they had experienced it. Opinions varied markedly depending upon whether the candidates were taking the examination for the first time or whether they were repeating it. The first-time group had the highest passing rate. This group also tended to feel adequately trained towards the examination and to like its present format. Those candidates who were repeating the examination tended to feel inadequately prepared and disliked the present format. Half the candidates in this sample had negative comments about this experience. A high level of anxiety and preoccupation with the examination were most often commented upon. A number of candidates did however find it easier and more fair than they had expected. The candidates, after taking the examination, tended as a group to feel better prepared and more positive toward the examination than the fourth year residents about to take the examination. The recommendations suggested focused on changing the task and image of the Board of Examiners, improving the examination and improving examination passing skills.

“…There was an unclear risk of other bias because the author conceded that they were unable to distinguish between responses from different grades of doctors and that his multiple capacities as teacher and assessor made it possible that respondents did not honestly report their opinions. Junek et al (1979) reported a one-group pre-and posttraining evaluation. Independent raters rated 30 video segments from various points of the recorded interviews in random order, suggesting that they were blinded to pre-or post-training.…”

Objectives: A range of communication skills training programmes have been developed targeting trainees in various medical specialties, predominantly in oncology but to a lesser extent in psychiatry. Effective communication is fundamental to the assessment and treatment of psychiatric conditions, but there has been less attention to this in clinical practice for psychiatrists in training. This review examines the outcomes of communication skills training interventions in psychiatric specialty training. Methods:The published English-language literature was examined using multiple online databases, grey literature and hand searches. The review was conducted and reported using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Studies examining the efficacy of communication skills training were included. Randomised controlled trials, pseudo-randomised studies and quasi-experimental studies, as well as observational analytical studies and qualitative studies that met criteria, were selected and critically appraised. No limits were applied for date of publication up until 16 July 2016. Results:Total search results yielded 2574 records. Of these, 12 studies were identified and reviewed. Two were randomised controlled trials and the remaining 10 were one-group pretest/posttest designs or posttest-only designs, including self-report evaluations of communication skills training and objective evaluations of trainee skills. There were no studies with outcomes related to behaviour change or patient outcomes. Two randomised controlled trials reported an improvement in clinician empathy and psychotherapeutic interviewing skills due to specific training protocols focused on those areas. Non-randomised studies showed varying levels of skills gains and self-reported trainee satisfaction ratings with programmes, with the intervention being some form of communication skills training. Conclusion:The heterogeneity of communication skills training is a barrier to evaluating the efficacy of different communication skills training programmes. Further validation studies examining specific models and frameworks would support a stronger evidence base for communication skills training in psychiatry. It remains a challenge to develop research to investigate behaviour change over time in clinical practice or to measure patient outcomes due to the effects of communication skills training.

Empathy has not been measured in clients’ terms or effectively taught: a review of the literature

Empathy, the ability to communicate an understanding of a client's world, is said to be a crucial component of all helping relationships. The first part of this paper focuses on the failure of measures of empathy to reflect clients' views about the ability to offer empathy. It is argued that, if clients are able to perceive the amount of empathy in helping relationships, they are able to advise professionals about how to offer empathy. The second part of this paper examines the inconclusive research evidence that existing courses have enabled professionals to offer empathy, and the disagreement about how empathy is best taught. The literature reviewed in this paper substantiates these observations.
