Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study was to identify the critical components of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) training program and to investigate the characteristics of the competencies among students undergoing CBT training. As a result, we identified 3 categories for a CBT training program comprising 62 items, and we developed a checklist for CBT competencies (45 large categories and 108 small categories). We also compared CBT training and competencies between Japan and the UK. The results indicate that the Japanese training is generally insufficient compared with that of the UK. In particular, practical training seems to be lacking. And while the UK trainees rated their CBT competencies significantly higher, most Japanese trainees regarded themselves as being able to demonstrate few of the required CBT competencies. This study suggests that CBT training guidelines and procedures for the accreditation of CBT therapists should be established in Japan.
