Future Workshops:
BECOMING THE REALLY EFFECTIVE SUPERVISOR:
Developing and Refining Supervision Skills
with
Arthur Freeman, EdD, HSPP, ABPP and Sharon Morgillo Freeman, PhD, APRN-CS.
Many clinicians are extending their roles beyond assessment and treatment to include supervision, mentorship, and consultation with peers.
Training is increasingly being provided outside of traditional health care settings such as independent practice, community-based clinics and in organizations. In these settings there
is often a requirement to provide supervision to students or trainees, those completing higher-level training prior to licensure or registration with professional regulatory bodies, or
personnel with limited professional training doing front-line work. Clinicians are also often asked by colleagues for consultation on challenging cases, and for both supervision and
consulation in order for the development of additional areas of professional competence.
Supervision areas include ethics and professional standards, the diagnosis, delivery of evidence-based treatments, and quality assurance. In addition, the supervisor must be
prepared to be a "team-builder" who can work within an organizational structure to improve the influence of their services unit and the functioning and cooperation of
multi-disciplinary staff.
Typically, supervisees rely on training experiences and the supervisory relationships that occur outside of their formal education to develop their professional identity, and learn,
refine and consolidate skills. However, few clinicians have received formal training in supervision and consultation.
Objectives:
This practical and applied workshop will provide participants with the essentials of clinical supervision and consultation. It addresses principles and models of effective supervision,
ethical issues, specific supervision and consultation skills, and maintenance of supervisory competence. The workshop will help participants develop new and enhance existing
skills and increase their confidence in providing supervision and consultation in a wide range of contexts and areas of clinical service delivery. It will cover such themes as: the
process of supervision, preparing for supervision, assessing the supervisee skills, setting performance objectives, communicating performance evaluations,
use of the Therapist Rating Scale.
This workshop is relevant to clinicians from diverse areas of practice including psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, counselors, and pastoral care therapists who currently
offer or anticipate offering supervision or consultation. It is relevant to those working in institutional, organizational, community, and independent practice settings who may be
providing supervision to interns or practicum students, postgraduate trainees preparing for licensure or registration, and front-line staff.
