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.
