Advanced Clinical Supervision Training: Enhancing a Relational Perspective, Presented by Matthew J. Modrcin, MSW, Ph.d., LCSW
DATE: Wednesday, February 4, 2015 | 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Check in starts at 8:30 AM)
LEVEL: Advanced Practice, Supervisors and Managers
CREDITS: 6 CEUs for LMFT, LCSW, LEP, LPCC
INTENDED AUDIENCE: This workshop is designed for supervisors in behavioral health or mental health care settings.
DESCRIPTION OF COURSE: Clinical supervision is an important and critical process associated with preparing the next generation of behavioral and mental care workers. Few supervisors are trained in the aspects of supervision and often rely on a supervisory style that either reinforces the worker's reliance on the supervisor or focuses on issues related to work accountability. Neither approach translates easily to the moment-to-moment interactions that the clinician encounters with the clients that they serve.
This workshop will address the developmental aspect of supervision and provide a framework for the supervisor to approach supervision from a teaching perspective to enhance the critical thinking skills, and the development of a relational perspective that relies on the use of self of the practitioner as the foundation of their work. Core ideas associated with foundational and advanced supervision approaches will be discussed. The differences between case and clinical supervision, which is embedded in critical thinking, will be addressed. Aspects of subjectivity and the inter-subjective process of enactment from an attachment and relational framework will be explored.
There will be an experiential component included in the workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring examples from their work setting of issues or dilemma's they encounter in supervision to discuss with the group.
INTENDED OBJECTIVES: By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1.Articulate the differences between a foundational perspective of supervision and an advanced approach to supervision;
2.Identify three differences between case and clinical supervision;
3.Discuss three strategies to invite the discussion of the worker's subjective experience of the client;
4.Describe five relational systems associated with a relational perspective;
5.Identify and describe how the client's history is present in the moment to moment interactions that occur between the worker and the client, and how this influences the worker's use of self;
6.Describe a relational framework to assess and help the worker establish an empathic and curious relational position; and
7.Articulate a structure for supervision sessions that relies on questions that increases the curiosity of the worker, identifies worker's interpretations and subjective experiences, and expands the worker's story about the client.
