Clinical and counseling psychology programs currently lack adequate evidence-based competency goals and training in suicide risk assessment. To begin to address this problem, this article proposes core competencies and an integrated training framework that can form the basis for training and research in this area. First, we evaluate the extent to which current training is effective in preparing trainees for suicide risk assessment. Within this discussion, sample and methodological issues are reviewed. Second, as an extension of these methodological training issues, we integrate empirically- and expert-derived suicide risk assessment competencies from several sources with the goal of streamlining core competencies for training purposes. Finally, a framework for suicide risk assessment training is outlined. The approach employs Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) methodology, an approach commonly utilized in medical competency training. The training modality also proposes the Suicide Competency Assessment Form (SCAF), a training tool evaluating self- and observer-ratings of trainee core competencies. The training framework and SCAF are ripe for empirical evaluation and potential training implementation.
临床心理学和咨询心理学项目目前在自杀风险评估方面缺乏足够的循证能力目标和培训。为了开始解决这个问题，本文提出了核心能力和综合培训框架，可为该领域的培训和研究奠定基础。首先，我们评估当前培训在使学员为自杀风险评估做好准备方面的有效程度。在此讨论中，对样本和方法问题进行了回顾。其次，作为这些方法培训问题的延伸，我们整合了来自多个来源的基于实证和专家得出的自杀风险评估能力，目的是简化用于培训的核心能力。最后，概述了自杀风险评估培训框架。该方法采用客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）方法，这是医学能力培训中常用的一种方法。培训模式还提出了自杀能力评估表（SCAF），这是一种评估学员核心能力的自我和观察者评分的培训工具。该培训框架和SCAF已成熟，可进行实证评估和潜在的培训实施。
