As a clinical supervisor, you're part mentor, part administrator, part parent, part advocate, part sheriff, and part den mother. You want to be nice and supportive, but you also have to be tough about upholding clinical standards. You need to advocate for your staff, but you're also part of middle management. Like a good parent, you have to continually adapt your approach to your clinicians' unique and changing needs. In this workshop, we'll explore the four stages of a supervisor's professional development--teacher, guide, gatekeeper, and consultant--and map their inherent characteristics, problems, and ethical dangers. We'll talk about the value of making mistakes, the power of parallel process, the challenges facing new supervisors, and the pros and cons of group supervision. By the end of the day, you'll feel you can supervise anybody anywhere.(This session will continue with Workshop 511.)
