Fulfills requirement: Supervision
This intermediate level supervision course covers the legal, ethical and clinical aspects of supervision and is comprised of four audio recordings (transcripts provided) and two peer-reviewed articles. Supervision is presented as a dynamic process, which engages both supervisor and supervisee in interpersonal processes over a period of time and through certain developmental phases. Attention is paid to boundaries, multiple loyalties, and multiple relationships that are inherent in the supervisor-supervisee relationship. Clinicians will also become familiar with the benefits and challenges of conducting telesupervision and new trends in supervision models that can be adapted to different theoretical orientations and modalities.
The first half of the course consists of three interviews on topics of supervision. In the first interview, Dr. Ofer Zur describes the art of supervision – how supervision is distinct from consultation, mentoring, and psychotherapy; the phases of supervision; supervisor-supervisee matching; and the characteristics of effective versus ineffective supervisors. In the second interview, ethicist Dr. Michael Donner discusses different forms of supervision and what constitutes effective and ethical supervision practices. In the third interview, Dr. Zur addresses boundaries in supervision – issues of gifts, self-disclosure, and complex unavoidable multiple loyalties and multiple relationships that are part of supervisory relationships.
The second half of the course addresses two contemporary issues in supervision – integrating technology and developing new supervision models to optimize effectiveness. The section begins with an interview with Anne Stokes, BACP, and editor of a handbook on online supervision for mental health practitioners. Ms. Stokes gives an overview of how to create a productive supervisory relationship and addresses ways to mitigate lack of technological expertise on the parts of both supervisor and supervisee. She also discusses ways to promote advanced clinical skills for supervisees who are engaging in both face-to-face and telemental health modalities. The course concludes with two peer-reviewed articles; the first outlines specific, practical recommendations for promoting ethical, legal, and effective clinical telesupervision, while the second describes the development of a supervisee-centered supervision model based on deliberate practice, feedback-informed treatment, and self-compassion.
