Study Notes
Supervision Roles and Responsibilities
-
Parties Involved: Supervision involves the supervisor, supervisee, client, and secondary parties like the agency and sponsoring university.
-
Client Role: The client seeks change to alleviate distress or solve problems. Their primary responsibility is identifying the problem and working with the therapist.
-
Supervisee (Therapist) Role: The supervisee has joint responsibilities to the client and supervision. Crucial is supporting the client's change and learning from the supervisor's techniques. An active participant is vital, including awareness of strengths/weaknesses, understanding boundaries, expectations, and communicating feedback. Identifying and learning from errors is also important.
-
Supervisor Role: Supervisors have a multi-faceted role, broadly categorized as: ensuring client welfare, providing effective supervision, and upholding professional standards.
-
Client Welfare: Supervisors act as quality control, ensuring the supervisee adequately supports the client's treatment goals. Conflicts of interest, like supervisee anxiety impacting client progress, must be addressed, potentially through modeling or direct intervention.
-
Supervisee Development: Supervisors facilitate a supportive learning environment, potentially through a learning contract and personal skill development.
-
Professional Conduct: Supervisors instill professional values and standards. This includes acting as "gatekeepers," transmitting professional identity through mentorship and experience. Crucially, supervisor duties encompass protecting the supervisee from harm (e.g., sexual harassment, discrimination, physical aggression.)
-
-
Supervisor's Responsibility in Preventing Harm: Supervisors must safeguard both the client and the supervisee, including attention to issues like sexual harassment, discrimination, and physical aggression, which are not uncommon in therapeutic relationships. Dismissing or overlooking reported issues can exacerbate harm.
