Clinical Supervision Essentials Series – serie

Relational psychodynamic psychotherapy arose in reaction to hierarchical, doctor-patient aspects of Freudian psychoanalysis. It emphasizes instead the partnership between therapist and client, and focuses on the power dynamics involved in this inherently unequal relationship. In this book, Joan E. Sarnat describes a model of clinical supervision that is based upon this therapeutic approach. While some clinicians treat the supervisory relationship as entirely distinct from the supervised therapy, Sarnat presents a straightforward and ethical framework within which a supervisor uses his or her clinical skills to work in the supervisory relationship, helping supervisees navigate their emotional responses to clients. Clear, concise chapters cover the theoretical and empirical basis for a relational model of supervision, and offer specific recommendations for addressing typical problems encountered by beginning, intermediate, and advanced supervisees. The book also includes revealing transcripts and analyses of the author's supervisory sessions with real trainees, including those documented in the author's companion DVD.

Some clinicians use a simple master-apprentice approach to supervision others utilize tools from their preferred model of psychotherapy. In this warm and engaging text, Brian W. McNeil and Cal D. Stoltenberg offer supervisors and trainees a different approach: their integrated developmental model of supervision. This empirically-tested model incorporates elements of cognitive models, schema development, skill development, interpersonal influence, and social intelligence alongside models of human development to create a truly eclectic and well-regarded approach to clinical supervision.The authors describe a proven supervisory model of tracking therapists amp rsquo development across all skill levels and theoretical orientations. Students and trainees are evaluated across domains including intervention skills competence, assessment techniques, client conceptualization, individual differences, theoretical orientation, treatment plans and goals, and professional ethics. The authors provide clear guidelines for supervisee progression, from the initial levels-highly motivated trainees who are highly dependent on the supervisor-to more advanced supervisees, who are better attuned to individual differences in clients and seek more sophisticated clinical responses, all the way to master level therapists. The book also includes transcripts and analyses of the authors amp rsquo supervisory sessions with real trainees, including those documented in their companion DVD, The Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision.

While feminist therapy has grown in stature and recognition in the last few decades, comparatively little has been written about supervision and consultation from a feminist standpoint. In this book, the latest in the Clinical Supervision Essentials series from APA Books, Dr. Laura Brown remedies this deficit by presenting a theoretically-grounded, yet practical approach to supervision based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. This volume offers a framework for translating feminist therapy constructs - including recognizing the impact of systemic hierarchies, and thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in the practice of psychotherapy - into the supervision setting. Incorporating practices derived from multicultural, queer, and other critical psychologies, feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about the presence of bias, and ways in which power distributes itself in the context of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory, as well as case examples and practical advice for resolving common supervision problems. The book also offers close analyses of the author's consulting session documented in the DVD Feminist Therapy Supervision, also available from APA books.

In this concise guide, Cory F. Newman and Danielle A. Kaplan offer an evidence-based approach to supervising practitioners of cognitive amp ndash behavioral therapy that is based on two key concepts: feedback that focuses on both strengths and weaknesses and demonstrations, such as role-playing exercises and videos of the supervisor amp rsquo s work with clients, that model experiential knowledge.Using helpful case examples including excerpts from real supervision sessions with real clinicians-in-training, Newman and Kaplan show how trainees can learn to think like effective CBT practitioners, whether conceptualizing cases and matching interventions to the individual needs of each client, or exhibiting comprehensive and subtle understandings of cultural competency and professional ethics.

This concise text describes a trans-theoretical approach that has been the gold standard in supervisory practice for nearly two decades. Supervision Essentials for the Practice of Competency-Based Supervision shows readers how to identify, assess, and track the knowledge, specific skills, broad attitudes, and human values that undergird a series of professional competencies spanning the breadth of clinical practice. Case examples illuminate the supervisory give-and-take as trainees develop competence in areas such as professional values, sensitivity to individual and cultural differences, ethical and legal standards, self-care, scientific knowledge and methods, applying evidence-based practice, and more. From practicum, to internship and general practice, the competency-based approach offers clear training goals that organize and focus the supervisor amp rsquo s attention where it amp rsquo s needed most. This book also includes dialogue from the authors amp rsquo supervision session with a real trainee as shown in the DVD Competency-Based Supervision.
