Study Notes
Clinical Supervision
- Clinical supervision is a distinct professional activity that involves a more senior member of a profession providing evaluative and hierarchical guidance to a more junior colleague.
- It is a collaborative interpersonal process aimed at developing science-informed practice and enhancing professional functioning.
Primary Responsibilities/Roles
- Training: skill development, teaching, and modeling
- Counseling: conceptualization, intervention, and self-awareness
- Consultation: discussing concerns, reflecting, and internalizing
- Evaluation: ensuring the supervisee is internalizing client care and safety
Types of Supervision
- Administrative: ensuring work is performed consistently with agency policies
- Supportive: decreasing job-related stress and enhancing work performance
- Educational/Clinical: teaching skills while developing self-awareness
Cubic Model of Clinical Supervision
- Parameters of supervision: relationship processes, individual differences, supervision models, ethical and legal considerations, and evaluation
- Supervisor tasks: live supervision, group supervision, individual supervision, and organizational supervision
- Supervisee developmental level: novice to expert
Clinical Skills
- Individual, group counseling, and communication skills
- Micro skills in counseling, conceptualization, and assessment
- Knowledge and application of ethical guidelines and standards
- Understanding of interactions among systems and presenting problems
Supervision Skills
- Knowledge of role and functions of clinical supervisors
- Models, methods, and techniques of clinical supervision
- Understanding the importance of the supervisory relationship and facilitation
- Role of systems, cultural issues, and environmental factors
- Legal and ethical issues unique to clinical supervision
Effective Behaviors for Clinical Supervisors
- Clarify expectations and style of supervision
- Maintain consistent and appropriate boundaries
- Be knowledgeable about theories and current research
- Teach practical skills and case conceptualization
- Provide frequent scheduled supervision
- Be accessible and available
- Encourage exploration of new ideas and techniques
- Foster autonomy
- Model appropriate ethical behaviors and counseling skills
Clinical Supervision Models
- Psychotherapy models: many techniques used in therapy are used in supervision
- Behavioral model: focuses on teaching appropriate counseling skills and assisting in extinguishing inappropriate behaviors
- Developmental models: focus on supervisee's change over time as a developmental process
- Interpersonal Development Model (IDM): focuses on supervisee development in three levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced
Group Supervision
- Definition: regular meetings of a group of supervisees with a designated supervisor to monitor work quality and further understanding of clients and service delivery
- Offers opportunities that offset the lack of individual attention that is the cornerstone of individual supervision
Process and Ingredients of Clinical Supervision
- Foundational tasks for site clinical supervision: initial communication, interview, orientation, on-going tasks, and communication
- Clinical supervision process and tasks: the supervision contract, agency conformity, and actions to best practices of supervision### Transcripts
- Especially helpful for novices (Arthur and Gfoerer, 2002)
- Positives:
- Concrete
- Able to review whole session
- Negatives:
- Time consuming
- Nonverbal cues and paralanguage lost
- Mistakes can be glaring
- Overly focused on content rather than development
- Intermittent or abbreviated use seems most practical
Written Feedback
- Allows for more careful consideration of feedback
- Can review recordings and provide written feedback outside of supervisory session
- Leaves a “paper trail” or record of supervision
- Can be tailored to fit learning needs, using the Discrimination Model:
- Teacher
- Counselor
- Consultant
Routine Outcome Measurement
- Records of session-by-session of client clinical measures
- Client-completed short outcome indicators
- Software graphs client progress
- Use of client progress to highlight progress and setback for targeted supervision
- Evidence-based methods to bring out supervisee’s blind spot
- Many web-based software available for use
Technology Assisted Distance Supervision (TADS)/Live Supervision
- Also known as e-supervision (Duding and Justice, 2004) and cyber-supervision (Chapman et al., 2011)
- Similar outcomes as face-to-face supervision, yet less “intrusive” for supervisees
- No difference between synchronous and asynchronous experiences
- Methods include:
- Phone in/walk in consultation break
- Videoconferencing
- Ear Bug (although has been shown to be intrusive)
Group Supervision
- Styles include:
- Authoritative: supervision in the group rather than with the group
- Participative: encourages active participation of group
- Cooperative: the group provides supervision; supervisor facilitates
- Structuring group supervision is important, including:
- Setting goals and purpose for the group
- Establishing expectations and roles for supervisor and supervisees
- Ensuring safety and setting rules
- Identifying potential areas of conflict
- Determining how to resolve problems
- Evaluation
