Description

Clinical supervisors need to ensure quality service while helping clinicians develop their skills and style. To do so, supervisors need to grow in their own professional development or run the risk that their supervisees will either stop learning or leave them behind. Participants in this workshop will discuss the four most common supervisory mistakes—focusing on the client rather than the clinician, ignoring the parallel process, spoon-feeding, and having unclear supervisory goals—and how to avoid them. Characteristics, goals, tasks, and dangers of each of the four stages of clinical development and the three anxiety coping styles will also be examined. Participants will learn how to help clinicians develop a unique style, as well as gain insight into their own.
