SCOTTON, Isabela Lamante  and  NEUFELD, Carmem Beatriz. Development of a Group CBT Competence Scale (GCBT-CS). Rev. bras.ter. cogn. [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.1, pp.37-45.  Epub July 01, 2024. ISSN 1808-5687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1808-5687.20230007.

The current work presents the process of development of the Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Competency Scale (CS-GCBT) and initial evidence of its content validity, aiming to fill the gap in the scope of therapist assessment in this modality, which is in wide dissemination. The process involved four steps: designation of the theoretical framework, development of the preliminary version, analysis of items by seven expert judges and semantic analysis of items by the target population. The scale has currently of 18 items. The development of this scale combined theoretical principles, consultation of recognized instruments and experts, and consultation with the target population, having also gone through several phases of item refinement. Furthermore, it has the advantage of combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Thus, it is considered that the method used was satisfactory to guarantee good initial indicators of content validity. It is expected that, with the continuity of the validation process, the scale will contribute to the process of training therapists in Brazil.
