Group Supervision

and

Professional Development

2010-2011

Facilitator: Cathye Griffin Betzel, Psy.D.

---

Interns meet 2 hours per week with the Training Director for Group Supervision. Group Supervision allows interns an opportunity to build cohesion as an intern class. In addition, 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. Using videorecordings of their sessions, interns receive/provide feedback to each other on therapy sessions of individual clients. During the spring semester, the content will blend therapeutic aspects with topics and presenters relevant to interns' career and life interests and may be both didactic and experiential in nature with additional emphasis on professional development issues including exploring post-doctoral, licensing and early career issues. Throughout the seminar a goal is to provide a supportive venue in which interns explore personal as well as professional goals.
