    Study Notes

    Clinical Supervision Technologies

    • Several technologies can enhance communication during supervision, both one-on-one and in groups.
    • Examples include email, instant messaging, phone calls, texting, online document editing, file sharing, and videoconferencing.
    • Technology can also support asynchronous observation (e.g., emailed recordings), and synchronous feedback (e.g., videoconference).
    • Technology aids in knowledge sharing through content-sharing methods like emails, texting, blogs, wikis, and file sharing.

    Benefits of Technology in Supervision

    • High levels of supervisee satisfaction
    • Increased types of modalities to boost supervisee self-efficacy
    • Increased self-disclosure by supervisees and overcoming disclosure barriers
    • Accessible and scalable supervision models reaching diverse audiences
    • Encourages better preparation from supervisees
    • Effective for international/cross-cultural supervision
    • Videoconferencing can effectively replace in-person one-way mirror supervision.

    Drawbacks of Technology in Supervision

    • Challenges in understanding nonverbal cues through distance
    • Supervisor unfamiliarity with local laws/regulations
    • Increased risk of cultural misunderstandings due to distance
    • Videoconferencing training may not be as effective as in-person training.

    Recommendations for Effective Technology Use

    • Focus on the supervision process, not just the technology.
    • Use technology to enhance existing methods, rather than as a standalone approach.
    • Create clear supervision goals and questions.
    • Consider comfort levels and costs associated with new tech integration.
    • Introduce only one new technology at a time.
    • Master video review skills for effective feedback and reflection.

    Best Practices for Video-Based Feedback

    • Focus on recurring patterns in supervisee’s work, ignoring isolated incidents.
    • Be interpersonally sensitive, clear, specific, and functional in feedback. Avoid harsh language.
    • Tie feedback to specific client outcomes.
    • Address supervisee inadequacies constructively, while validating strengths.

    Supervision Methods Goals

    • Improve supervisee knowledge, skills, and self-awareness.
    • Enhance objectivity and reduce bias/impaired judgment.
    • Improve and monitor supervisee activities.
    • Facilitate supervisee independence and decision-making.

    Supervision Methods

    • Case Discussion/Presentation: Useful for high caseloads, allows for case review and feedback. Can be challenging for translating the feedback into action (supervisee has to articulate what they need).
    • Observation of Recorded Sessions: Provides specific skill feedback from a therapist's session. Less anxiety-producing than live sessions. Time-consuming and requires a method to manage the information presented.
    • Live Supervision: Offers direct skill development; supportive for supervisees. May cause anxiety, stresses supervisor, and could lead to a sense of being de-skilled. Difficult to communicate feedback effectively.
    • Live Consultation: Supervisor directly interviews a client while the supervisee observes; allows the supervisor to help the supervisee. Requires advanced skills for the supervisor to help without undermining the supervisee.
    • Demonstration of Clinical Skills: Can be helpful for future cases. The supervisee may feel the supervisor is skilled beyond their abilities, leading to feelings of inadequacy.

    Individual Supervision

    • Often mandated in licensure requirements to improve new therapists' skills
    • Allows specific tailoring to needs of the supervisee.
    • Limitations include potential inaccuracies or biases in supervisee self-report.
    • Enhanced by use of audio/video to provide more complete information for the supervisor.
    • Focus is between training and consultation.

    Structured vs. Unstructured Supervision

    • Structured supervision is more training-oriented, unstructured is more consultative.
    • A structured supervision plan (including variety of modalities) is associated with supervisor effectiveness.
    • Plan should include opportunities for training/consultation, monitoring, work design/coordination, and linkage to external resources.
    • All supervisors have common tasks (time management, prioritization, adequate time allocation to supervision, method selection, record-keeping, contracts, documentation of session details).

    Supervision Session Sample Structure

    • Discuss session goals with supervisee.
    • Start with positive aspects of specific cases and any challenges.
    • Review process notes and recordings.
    • Employ interactive methods like role-playing.
    • Include didactic discussion of theoretical issues/ethical factors/trauma responses.
    • Include thought-provoking questions (e.g., regarding feelings, multicultural issues, client responses, etc.).
    • Review session effectiveness for both parties.
    • Provide feedback (if applicable) to the supervisee.
    • Document session details (date, time, length, modality, etc.). State licensing requirements.

    Self-Report

    • The most common supervisee self-report method.
    • Trainee narrates details of what happened in sessions to the supervisor.
    • Can be limited by potential distortion of information.

    Process Notes

    • Systematic, content-based approach to supervision.
    • Include discussion of session goals, issues related to goals, main themes, interpersonal dynamics, cultural differences, session success ratings, learning points, next session plans and questions to the supervisor.

    Audio/Video Taping

    • Should be used cautiously with awareness of client/supervisee comfort levels.
    • Confidentiality, consent, and security are critical.
    • Review a portion of the tape, discussing why it was selected.
    • Encourage self-reflection and self-exploration.

    Live Supervision Methods

    • Co-facilitation/Co-working (supervisor and supervisee share session responsibility).
    • Observation by supervisor (supervisee observes the supervisor in a session).
    • One-way mirror/camera systems to allow sessions with in-person interaction but outside the room.
    • “Bug-in-the-ear” technique to enable real-time input from the supervisor during sessions.
    • All parties involved should agree to the method and approach. Permission required from clients.
