Psychotherapy Supervision: Old Controversies and New Dilemmas - Nancy McWilliams, PhD (Recorded)
Both the American Psychological and the American Psychiatric Associations have recently advocated specific courses in supervision for their trainees. Good supervision has been described in terms of specific competences or progressive skill sets, often measured via symptom reduction in the supervisee’s clients. Emphasis has also been put on adapting supervision, like treatment, to areas of diversity. But there has been less attention to general developmental goals such as the supervisee’s overall professional and personal growth, and to areas of maturation that constitute progress in both therapist and patient. This talk contextualizes clinical supervision historically, exploring some less frequently measured areas of supervisory competence. It aims to be relevant to the practical and professional needs of both supervisors and supervisees.
Learning Objectives
1. Articulate two tensions or controversies that recur periodically in professional writing about clinical supervision
2. Describe ten areas of overall mental health relevant to supervision
3. Define two ways of dealing with the possible implications of differences between supervisor and supervisee in areas such as culture, ethnicity, race, age, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, class, ability, and similar potential diversities.
