There is a growing movement to define competency within the field of marriage and family therapy (MFT), particularly with respect to the training of practitioners and the evaluation of clinical practice. Efforts to define competency, however, transcend the practice of MFT and much can be learned from the experiences of other disciplines. Professions such as education, law, and medicine have made strides toward addressing the complex issue of competency standards in their respective fields. This article describes some ways in which the issue of competency has been approached in other professions, as well as some common dilemmas posed by adopting a competency-based orientation, to shed light on the process of defining competency in MFT. Moreover, this article identifies some of the more useful conceptualizations, modes of pedagogy, and evaluative practices found in other professions.
越来越多的人呼吁在婚姻和家庭治疗（MFT）领域定义能力，特别是在从业者培训和临床实践评估方面。然而，对能力的定义不仅限于 MFT 的实践，我们可以从其他学科的经验中学到很多东西。教育、法律和医学等专业已经在解决各自领域的能力标准这一复杂问题上取得了进展。本文描述了其他专业在解决能力问题方面的一些方法，以及采用基于能力的方法所带来的一些常见困境，以期为 MFT 中的能力定义过程提供一些启示。此外，本文还确定了在其他专业中发现的一些更有用的概念化、教学模式和评估实践。
