The Y-Model for Teaching Psychotherapy Competencies - Eric Plakun, M.D.

Teaching the three current core competencies--CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy and Supportive Therapy, has been a challenge. Utilizing an approach to teaching psychotherapy that is based on existing comparative psychotherapy process research, the Y-model integrates the teaching of psychotherapy to trainees, compares and contrasts schools of therapy based on their underlying theoretical assumptions, with technique following from theory, and is based on the available evidence.
