Principles and procedures for supervising cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) were broadly defined in 2 early seminal texts almost 15 years ago (Liese & Beck, 1997; Padesky, 1996) and updated more recently (Beck, Sarnat, & Barenstein, 2008; Newman, 2010). However, the actual practice of CBT supervision often shows poor fidelity to this model (Townend, Iannetta, & Freeston, 2002) with notable deficiencies in the use of direct observation, standardized observational rating systems, and experiential methods in supervision (Milne, 2008). The advent of more specific competency statements on CBT supervision has been a significant leap forward (Falender et al., 2004; Roth & Pilling, 2008) but poses some practical challenges to clinical supervisors in terms of transferring broad competency statements into actual supervisory practice. We address the need for more rigor in CBT supervision within a university training clinic setting and outline some promising ingredients for this specification drawing on competencies, metacognition, and experiential learning theory.
