Program Description:  

Supervision is the primary professional training model for mental health clinicians, and providing supervision is a key task for many clinicians. Most mental health professionals begin their careers as supervisees, and the ways in which they are influenced during this period plays a critical role in their professional development. Currently, there is no single standard of care in psychotherapy supervision. This workshop will focus on the essential elements of a successful supervisory relationship, and the goals of supervision. In addition, the impact of cultural competence on the supervisory relationship will be discussed. There are many ways to provide supervision, from co-therapy to case presentations. The advantages and disadvantages of the modalities of supervision will be evaluated, along with the attributes of good supervisors and good supervision. Participants are invited to discuss ethical and supervisory issues from their own experiences and practices.

Program Learning Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. List 2 duties of supervisors that emerge from statutes, ethics codes, and the professional literature;
2. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of procedures typically used in monitoring supervision;
3. Identify the potential types of liability specific to supervision.
