CROCAMO, Lia Nadia  and  BENATUIL, Denise. Survey of Basic Clinical Competences for Psychotherapy according to Argentine experts. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.77-91.  Epub July 01, 2020. ISSN 2451-6600.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/pd.v20i2.2867.

In recent decades, studies on the competences for the exercise of health professions have increased (Gonsalvez, Hamid, Savage, & Livni, 2017). In psychology and, in particular, for psychotherapy, different writings have been prepared detailing the competences that psychotherapists must acquire during their training. However, at the local level there are no specific systematic studies. With the objective of knowing which of the most relevant competences that Argentine psychotherapists must possess for the exercise of psychotherapy, 20 semi-directed interviews were carried out, subject to a thematic analysis. Seven basic clinical competences were found that were called Diagnostic process, Design, interventions and techniques, Evaluation and completion of the process, Therapeutic link, Professional role, Contextual variables and diversity, and Interview management.

Keywords : clinical skills; psychotherapy; semi-structured interview; thematic analysis.
