| Annotation | The Revised Cognitive Therapy Scale (CTS-R) is a new scale for measuring therapist competence in Cognitive Therapy, and is based on the original Cognitive Therapy Scales (CTS) devised by Young and Beck (1980 and 1988). The CTS-R was developed jointly by clinicians and researchers at the Newcastle Cognitive and Behaviour Therapies Centre and the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Early versions of the scale have been used in empirical studies to examine the development of therapeutic skills in therapists treating clients in adult outpatient settings. This paper discusses aspects of therapy that require either emphasising or adapting when working with older people. Having reviewed these requirements and then provided an overview of the scale, the paper concludes that the CTS-R needs little adaptation when used to assess the competence of therapy delivered to older people with affective disorders.
