Abstract

Many studies support the effectiveness of paraprofessionals in administering psychotherapy. However, no review has compared the utility/efficacy of paraprofessionals versus professionals in administering cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT). This article systematically reviews published trials comparing outcomes of paraprofessional to professional therapists using CBT to treat anxiety and depressive symptoms. Four studies met inclusion criteria and are critiqued using evidence-based quality parameters. The authors conclude that paraprofessionals can be effective in delivering CBT to these patients, with outcomes comparable to those of professionals.
