Presenter: Dr. Allyson Davys Date: Thursday, September 8th, 2022 4:00PM (NY Time) Description: In this webinar, Dr. Allyson Davys will present a framework for ‘courageous conversations’ in supervision.

March 23, 2023, 9:30 am (NY time) Presenter: Dr. David Wilkins, Reader in Social Work, Cardiff University It has become a cliché when discussing supervision to lament the lack of good evidence that it makes a difference for people using services.

So, what’s going on? In this webinar, Dr David Wilkins will discuss emerging evidence from England on the association between supervision and ‘outcomes’ for children and families and consider [...]

The many faces of clinical supervision: Supervisees' perspectives on what helps and what hurts Dr. Heidi Hutman, Counseling Psychology, Temple University Wednesday, October 4, 2023, 1:30 pm (NYT) Clinical supervision is the central mechanism of training for helping professionals (Bernard & Goodyear, 2019). In spite of its centrality, the quality of supervision has been found to vary to a remarkable degree (Hutman et al., 2023). Thus, some supervisees report receiving supervision from relationally competent and knowledgeable supervisors whereas others report practices that fall short in significant ways, with profound implications for both themselves and their clients (Ellis et al., 2014, 2015).

Findings suggest that racism can negatively influence the utilization of services, the therapy relationship, the nature and efficacy of clinical interventions and overall treatment outcomes. Furthermore, some scholars have argued that accepted models of counseling and psychotherapy can be seen as forms of cultural imposition which are grounded in a Western/Eurocentric [...]
