Group Supervision

 

Interns meet 2 hours per week with the Training Director for Group Supervision. Using videotapes of their sessions, interns receive/provide feedback to each other on therapy sessions of individual clients. In addition, Group Supervision allows interns an opportunity to build cohesion as an intern class. Discussion topics might include clinical issues such as termination, short-term therapy, caseload management, and interpersonal dynamics, as well as professional development. Beginning sessions generally focus on adjustment to internship training followed by an increased clinical focus. Professional development is a primary focus in the second half of the year with assistance given to the job search process. Throughout the seminar a goal is to provide a supportive venue in which interns explore personal as well as professional goals.
