 This series of courses on supervision was designed to allow a number of options, depending on the specific requirements you need to fulfill. Completion of either the six-hour or seven-hour segments, based on your level of experience, constitutes the minimum six-hours of formal training in supervision required for those who supervise psychology interns, psychological assistants and MFT interns. Completion of all three courses constitutes the 15 hours of formal coursework in supervision required of those who supervise associate clinical social workers.
This course focuses on creative supervision and the management of challenging cases and of challenging supervisees. A central focus is on the development of self as supervisor including an exploration of each participant's unique style, strengths and weaknesses, counter-transference, and self-awareness in reference to bias, narcissism, character and the shadow in clinical supervision.
