Super Vision: Developing Your Own Style of Clinical Supervision
Program Description
Most clinicians have trained for years to learn their craft, becoming therapists after studying in
graduate school, completing internships and gaining licensure. This is not the case with clinical
supervisors. In this 6 hour, training you will have an opportunity to develop your own style of
clinical supervision, building upon your knowledge base as a therapist and adding to it the
necessary components of effective supervision. We will discuss how to choose your supervision
approach based on the developmental needs of your supervisee; learn how to be comfortable
with the concept of use of self in supervision; discuss boundaries in the age of technology and
ethical challenges supervisors face; and each participant will develop clear supervisory goals.
This workshop will be interactive using videotapes, discussions and activities and will provide
you with opportunities to practice using taped materials during the day. Come prepared to share
supervision case examples of both success and “opportunities for growth.”
