Course Overview: “We would never dream of turning untrained therapists loose on needy patients, so why would we turn untrained supervisors loose on therapists who help those needy patients?” asks Watkins et. al. In many industries, the need for quality supervision and oversight is in high demand, and this is especially true in the clinical setting. Students in this course are introduced to emerging supervisor methods, practices, and metrics that guide the supervision pathway.
Course Outcomes:
- Discover the basic methods and competencies of the clinical supervisor role
- Improve their skills in giving feedback
- Learn to recognize and navigate countertransference
- Identify and engage unique stages of development for therapists
- Gain clarity about their strengths and next steps for growth as a supervisor through customized, live feedback on a submitted 30-minute session with a supervisee.
