    El estudio de expertise psicoterapéutica podría contribuir a la comprensión de los efectos del terapeuta sobre el cambio y a la mejora de los métodos de entrenamiento de terapeutas. Sin embargo, este tipo de estudios presenta una serie de problemáticas que limitan su avance. Dentro de éstas es posible identificar desafíos en cuanto a su relevancia, delimitación conceptual, fundamentación teórica-empírica, diseños investigativos y consecuencias políticas de sus resultados. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar tales desafíos y proponer lineamientos para poder sobrellevarlos en investigaciones futuras.

    The study of psychotherapeutic expertise could contribute to the understanding of therapist effects as well as to the improvement of methods of therapist training. However, there are several problems in this field that limit its progress, for example, its relevance, conceptual delimitation, theoretical-empirical foundation, research designs, and the political consequences of the results. The aim of this article is to describe these challenges and propose guidelines to overcome them in future research.
