Description of Supervision
I attended 1.25 hours per week of dyadic supervision and 2.0 hours per week for group supervision from August 2008 through June 2010. In dyadic supervision, our process generally involved a initial review of any legal or ethical concerns or any other case issue requiring additional attention. My dyadic partner and I then generally presented our files and/or videos for a case review for our supervisor’s feedback, direction and recommendations.

The group process involved six students. Two people were assigned each week to present a case for review. In preparation for our case presentation, we completed a Case Presentation report form that detailed the presenting problem, our working hypothesis, a five axis diagnosis, the treatment goals, models of intervention, legal/ethical concerns, self of the therapist matters and working genogram. Copies were provided to each member of the group for consideration and discussion prior to the presentation of the video. On occasion, group supervision was utilized to discuss various working models of therapy, to review theoretical approaches.
