The emphasis in the White Paper on Early Years provision, forensic CAMHS, IAPT in CAMHS suggests that there is a need to increase the provision of supervision. Child psychotherapists are often requested to offer supervision of 1-1 direct work to other child psychotherapists and CAMHS and other professionals. This course provides an opportunity to further develop supervisory skills and competencies.
The course aims to look at some of the literature on supervision and to use presentations given in turn by the participants to draw out some of the issues which arise in supervision. A further aim is to develop a reflective, non-judgmental atmosphere in which to think about the meaning of the setting, the clinical material and to enable the clinician to feel supported in developing an understanding of their work and technical issues.
Greater clarity about role, task and responsibilities of the supervisor and supervisee and other stakeholders within different kinds of supervision
Increased confidence in supervision task- following material, and technical issues
Extension in understanding of the interpersonal and projective processes which impact on the transference and countertransference in clinical work and the dynamics of supervision
Extension of reflective skills
Increased knowledge and learning through reading and discussing literature on supervision
