MURTA, Sheila Giardini  and  ROCHA, Sheila Giovana Morais. Instrument of support to the first interview in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.2, pp. 33-47. ISSN 0103-5665.

The first interview in psychotherapy is usually experienced with great anxiety by psychology undergraduate trainees. In search of making easier that professional transition and collaborate for the professional training of beginners therapists, this paper has the aim to present an instrument for use by trainees in the first session of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy. The instrument is presented in the format of a checklist, consisting of features to be addressed during the session, besides open questions about the emotional experience and evaluation of the own performance. Research findings in the psychotherapy field which provide the basis for the instrument are discussed. Additionally, further studies are recommended in order to evaluate its didactic potential in the psychotherapy training.
