Representing movement away from sole reliance on a Step 3 high-intensity CBT therapist workforce, the development and implementation of a Step 2 psychological practitioner role – psychological wellbeing practitioner (PWP) – denotes a core feature of the IAPT programme. Whilst both workforces share generic and basic CBT competences, the CBT and problem-specific competencies associated with assessment and treatment differ (Roth and Pilling, 2007a,b). Within the high-intensity therapist workforce, specific multi-strand CBT interventions are delivered to the patient. This contrasts to competencies held by the Step 2 LICBT psychological therapy practitioner workforce that empowers patients to manage their own recovery by providing them with ongoing support to engage with CBT self-help interventions (Chapter 6). Consequently, different competencies have implications for responsibilities placed on each workforce, making training and supervision of the Step 2 and 3 workforces fundamental to the IAPT programme (Roth and Pilling, 2008).
