Training Description:
Supervision draws upon knowledge and skills that go beyond those of psychotherapy. Clinical supervision requires the supervisor to attend to the balance between the clinical needs of clients and the training needs of the therapist under supervision. In this process, it is important for the supervisor to recognize that applying ethical codes within a supervisory context guides the supervisor to a standard of practice sanctioned by the various licensing bodies while state legal statutes define a point beyond which a supervisor may be liable. This training will equip those who are considering or have already entered into a supervisor role with a base knowledge of understanding of a variety of ethical concerns related to the supervisory role. Participants will become aware of and apply codes of ethics applicable to supervision, discuss the ethical issues inherent in the supervisory role including supervisory relationship vulnerabilities, and explore ethical and legal concerns that are common to supervision.
