What is it about?
In this study, we examined the degree to which psychotherapists can accurately predict their own measurement-based strengths and weaknesses when treating their patients with specific types of presenting mental health concerns (e.g., depression, anxiety).

Why is it important?
This study is important because mental health care patients often choose a psychotherapist based on the therapist’s self-assessed areas of expertise. If it turns out that therapists are inaccurate judges of these areas, then patients may not end up working with the most personally well-suited clinician.
