Description: National organizations of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors have recently advocated specific courses in supervision for trainees their respective clinical disciplines. They have tended to frame supervision in terms of specific competencies or progressive skill sets, often measured via symptom reduction in the supervisee’s clients. They have also emphasized the importance of adapting supervision, like treatment, to areas of diversity. But there has been less attention to general developmental goals such as the supervisee’s overall professional and personal growth, and to areas of maturation that constitute progress in both therapist and patient. This workshop will contextualize clinical supervision historically, in light of empirical, clinical, and theoretical literature on the topic. It aims to be relevant to the practical and professional needs of both supervisors and supervisees.
