The purpose of the current study is to examine the influence of feedback on psychotherapeutic competency. The present randomized controlled study compares a feedback condition with a non-feedback condition. Therapists in the feedback condition receive feedback after every fourth session. The feedback is given by two trained and independent raters. The raters are licenced and experienced psychotherapists. Therapists in the non-feedback condition receive no feedback during the psychotherapy.
