This course constitutes six hours of formal training in supervision to fulfill Board of Psychology (BOP) and Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) regulations.

This six hour CE course contains seven hours of materials. One of the hours focuses specially on California rules and regulations. This hour is designed for California clinicians who will not be taking any further courses in supervision (i.e. Rules, Regulations and Risk Management: CA) and want to get an introduction into the legal frame hour. The seventh hour is for non-California clinicians who need the six hour course but would not have interest in California specifics. There are seven hours available charged at our six hour rate. Six CEU hours are given.

What is mental health supervision? How do supervisees learn? What are the behaviors of an effective supervisor? What are the traditional and non-traditional models of supervision? These are a few of the questions we will explore in “Principles of Clinical Supervision.”

This program is designed stimulate your exploration into your individual supervision process and to offer new perspectives that can assist in organizing and enhancing your supervisory skills. Much of the program will address the behaviors of supervisors and supervisees.

Topics will include common and uncommon models of supervision including the application of a theoretical orientation to the supervision process. You will examine multiple supervisory interventions such as targeting client interventions versus supervisee reactions to clients and supervision and explore tips for addressing supervisee reactions to clients, the clinical relationship, and the supervisory relationship.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand and differentiate supervision from other professional “supervisory” relationships
2. Utilize the relationship as a vehicle for supervisee growth
3. Understand one’s own sense of being as a supervisor
4. Recognize levels of risk
5. Differentiate roles and responsibilities of supervisors
6. Identify and teach the core therapy skills as part of the supervision process
