Evaluation of therapist candidates
EJ Lynn and JA Nordhoff
The authors describe one phase of a four-step procedure designed to more
fully evaluate candidates for psychotherapist positions. All applicants
must conduct an interview with a patient, which is observed and evaluated
by a team of staff members to assess diagnostic skills. This procedure has
not only proved valuable in the program for which it was designed but has
been extended to other programs and proposed for use in peer review.
