Study Notes

Encouraging Supervisee Reflectivity

  • Reflectivity as a Developmental Process: Supervisees progress through stages of increasing competency & autonomy, and the supervisory relationship changes accordingly.
  • Continuous Professional Reflection: A key mediating process for therapist development. Stagnation or development depends on how well this mediating process is used.
  • Reflective Stance: Actively processing experiences, both individually and with others, with curiosity and openness. Feedback-seeking is crucial.
  • Relational Competency Enhancement: Supervision fosters relationship competencies, which transfer to improved therapy outcomes.

Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR)

  • Technique Description: IPR, developed by Kagan, encourages self-awareness of thoughts & feelings for both the client and therapist.
  • Method: Involves reviewing audio/video recordings of therapy sessions to analyze interpersonal dynamics. Supervisors guide supervisees' exploration in thought & feelings, using open-ended questions.
  • Purpose: IPR deepens the therapeutic relationship by fostering awareness of unconscious behaviors & motivations.

Group Supervision

  • Benefits: Group interactions foster professional socialization, mutual support, skill sharing, and insight development.
  • Facilitating Group Discussion: Supervisors must manage group process, address conflict, and engage in appropriate facilitation or co-supervision techniques.
  • Diverse Supervision Styles: Authoritative, Participative, Co-operative, and Peer supervision. Group supervision enables a wider view of trainees' styles.
  • Group Supervision Guidelines: Number of supervisees, composition (mix of experience/background), pre-planned structure, managing group norms, using perceptual summaries & feedback, acknowledging competition.

Case Vignette (Group Supervision)

  • Dawn's Case: A social work student, Dawn, is supervising a client with a history of both victimization and perpetration. Group Supervision proves helpful when trainees share similar experiences with similar clients.

Evaluation: Issues and Concepts

  • Ongoing Process: Evaluation is continuous, from the outset and throughout the training process and is not a final summation after a supervisory session or training.
  • Formative vs. Summative: Formative evaluation supports immediate skill-building, while summative embodies a final judgment with implications for program completion and licensure.
  • Evaluation Steps: Establishing goals, providing ongoing feedback (formal/informal), supervisee self-assessment, peer assessment, and conducting a final summative evaluation.
  • Important Elements: Clear expectations, criteria, feedback format, opportunity for success, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Criteria for "Fair" Evaluation: Providing clear expectations & criteria, feedback on performance, and opportunities for success and improvement.
  • Providing Negative Feedback: Regularly evaluating, objectively assessing, seeking consultation, documenting, and being emotionally prepared.
