Clinical Supervision: A Person-Centered Approach
This course is a departure from traditional instruction on clinical supervision where the emphases tend to be on models of counselor development and approaches specific to clinical supervision. Taking the person-centered values of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence, this workshop will teach you how to work with supervisees in a manner that will honor their perspectives and experience and thus maximize their development as counselors. Supervisors are encouraged to "step into the shoes" of their supervisees and remember what it was like to receive clinical supervision as a way of building stronger working alliances with those they supervise. Special attention is devoted to using motivational enhancement principles in working with resistant supervisees, and various legal/ethical and pragmatic scenarios are also incorporated into the content.
The purpose of this course is to help supervisors or potential supervisors in the human services or helping professions to more effectively work with those they are entrusted to supervise.
Target Audience
