Supervision focuses on consolidating the inegration of theory and practical abilities and on a professional conduct. Supervisees will discover what they already do well and what they can improve or change: supervision facilitates insight regarding own clinical activity.
Whilst under supervision, supervisees must have a clinical practise with clients of at least 300 hours.
The analysis of the therapeutic spectrum contains:
The therapeutic relationship: to what extent can the client feel that his/her relationship with the therapist is an important resource he/she can count on.
The therapist’s involvement: to what extent can the therapist convey to the client the feeling that the client’s well-being is important to the therapist and that the therapist does all he/she can to help the client solve his/her problems.
Resource activation: to what extent can the client experience motivational goals and positive values, abilities and feelings of self-efficacy.
Experiencing difficulties: to what extent is the client emotionally involved in discussing his/her difficulties during the therapeutic session.
The client’s contribution to discussing own difficulties: how receptive is the client to the therapist’s interventions and to what extent does he/she actively participate in the therapeutic process
The stage of therapeutic interventions: to what extent does the therapist focus on the analysis and understanding of the client’s difficulties and the necessary steps for change and progress.
The general supervision plan focuses on:
- Defining the client’s problems: symptoms, mechanisms and causes
- Therapeutic objectives
- Therapeutic strategy
- The unfolding of the therapeutic process: success, failure, difficulties, transference and countertransference, enactments, adapting therapeutic strategy to the cient’s needs, flexibility
- Therapeutic outcome
