Abstract: Structured supervision is central to effective implementation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The Declarative–Procedural–Reflective (DPR) model conceptualizes supervision as a learning-based strategy to develop therapists’ knowledge, skills and reflective capacity. However, little is known about which supervisor characteristics support DPR-consistent practices. A cross-sectional survey of 140 certified CBT supervisors in Norway examined self-leadership, self-efficacy, learning goal orientation, goal-directed behavior and work engagement. All variables were positively correlated with DPR adherence, but multivariable analyses showed that self-leadership and learning goal orientation were independently associated. These findings highlight the importance of supervisors’ self-regulatory capacities and learning-oriented motivation for implementing structured CBT supervision.
