Supervision Essentials for a Systems Approach to Supervision


Book Description

The heart of clinical supervision is the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee. Elizabeth Holloway's systems approach to supervision conceptualizes this all-important relationship as consisting of several key dimensions, or systems, which interact and together help create and maintain the supervisory relationship. These systems include the client, the trainee, the supervisor, the functions and learning tasks in supervision, and the institution in which the supervision process is taking place. As the author compellingly argues, for clients, trainees, and supervisors alike, our decision-making and actions are always consciously or tacitly embedded within these systems. Understanding the dynamic interplay of the interdependent components of each system is essential to building a strong and thriving supervisory relationship. With detailed case examples (including excerpts and analyses of real supervision sessions with real trainees, as demonstrated in the author's DVD Systems Approach to Psychotherapy Supervision, also available from APA Books), the author skillfully demonstrates the various roles supervisors play, from monitor and advisor, to role model, consultant, and mentor. The unique importance of supervisory competencies, including counseling skills, case conceptualization, ethical practice, intra and interpersonal awareness, and self-evaluation, are examined in full depth.




Clinical Supervision


Book Description

A major focus is "artistry" in practice, which Holloway demonstrates using supervision interview transcripts, cases, and other examples of actual supervisory interactions. This guide provides impetus for supervisors to think about supervision as they make critical decisions in supervisory strategy, trainee skill development, and professional ethics.




Supervision Essentials for the Feminist Psychotherapy Model of Supervision


Book Description

While feminist therapy has grown in stature and recognition in the last few decades, comparatively little has been written about supervision and consultation from a feminist standpoint. In this book, the latest in the Clinical Supervision Essentials series from APA Books, Dr. Laura Brown remedies this deficit by presenting a theoretically-grounded, yet practical approach to supervision based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. This volume offers a framework for translating feminist therapy constructs -- including recognizing the impact of systemic hierarchies, and thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in the practice of psychotherapy -- into the supervision setting. Incorporating practices derived from multicultural, queer, and other critical psychologies, feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about the presence of bias, and ways in which power distributes itself in the context of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory, as well as case examples and practical advice for resolving common supervision problems. The book also offers close analyses of the author's consulting session documented in the DVD , also available from APA books.

Supervision Essentials for Cognitive-behavioral Therapy


Book Description

Cognitive-behavioural therapies are the most popular form of mental health services offered today. But with this popularity comes an urgent need for standardized training and education for emerging cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) clinicians. This handy guide offers an evidence-based approach to supervision of emerging CBT practitioners. The authors' approach is based on two key concepts: feedback that is geared toward strengths as well as weaknesses, and stimulates problem-solving and growth; and demonstration, by which a supervisor takes part in role-playing exercises and even shows videos of his or her own work with clients, in order to model the experiential knowledge that trainees need to succeed. Using a wealth of case examples, including material from a supervision session with a real trainee (from the DVD Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Supervision, also available from the American Psychological Association), Newman and Kaplan demonstrate how trainees can learn to think like effective CBT practitioners, from conceptualizing cases and matching interventions to the individual needs of each client, to the comprehensive and subtle understandings of cultural competency and professional ethics.




Supervision Essentials for the Critical Events in Psychotherapy Supervision Model


Book Description

For many therapists, conflict with their clients, whether overt or subtle, can be a frustrating impediment to change. The same is true for clinical supervisors, who must juggle trainees' relationships with their clients alongside the complex and often charged interactions that take place during the supervisory hour. This book provides a blueprint to help supervisors navigate the most challenging dilemmas and conflicts that arise in the supervisory process. These include addressing skill deficits and competency concerns, working through role conflicts, and ethnicity and gender-related misunderstandings. Because these interpersonal dilemmas can be so challenging, they often represent a golden opportunity for real progress, in psychotherapy and supervision alike. With the aid of detailed and compelling case examples, the authors present a process model that offers specific strategies - such as exploration of feelings, focus on self-efficacy, and attention to parallel processes - that together enable supervisors and trainees to successfully resolve the problem at hand and achieve lasting success. This theoretically-grounded text is appropriate for supervisors and trainees of all theoretical orientations.




Supervision Essentials for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy


Book Description

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is based on the concept of transformation. AEDP therapists utilize insights from attachment theory and research demonstrating the brain's power to reorganize itself and develop new pathways through neuroplasticity. AEDP clinicians help clients unearth, explore, and process core feelings in order to transform anxiety and defensiveness into long-lasting, positive change. In this comprehensive guide, AEDP leaders Natasha Prenn and Diana Fosha offer a model of clinical supervision that is based on the AEDP approach. AEDP supervisors seek to create dynamic change within the supervisee, so that trainees understand on a visceral level the process they aim to facilitate in therapy with clients. Through close observation of videotaped sessions, AEDP supervisors model a strong focus on here-and-now interactions characterized by affective resonance, and empathy. The goal is to offer trainees an embodied experience to mirror their growing intellectual understanding of how change occurs in AEDP. The book also includes vignettes from Dr. Fosha's supervisory sessions with a real trainee, as shown in the DVD Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Supervision, also available from APA Books.




Supervision Essentials for the Practice of Competency-based Supervision


Book Description

From practicum to internship and general practice, the competency-based approach offers clear training goals that help organize and focus the supervisor's attention where it's needed most.




IDM Supervision


Book Description

The third edition of this book is an updated and expanded presentation of the widely used Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision. In contrast to other volumes on clinical supervision, Stoltenberg and McNeill present a comprehensive, time-tested, and empirically investigated model of supervision, rather than a broad summary of other existing or historical approaches. In addition to presenting a model of therapist development that spans beginning through advanced training, the book integrates theory and research from numerous perspectives, including learning, cognition, and emotion, as well as an up-to-date treatment of research directly addressing the supervision process. The model also examines the role of clinical supervision from an evidence-based practice perspective and addresses issues of common factors in therapy. The impact of cultural issues in supervision and training, as well as recent work in a competencies approach to supervision and trainee development, are also examined.
