The significance of supervision in developing clinical expertise has been acknowledged since the inception of psychoanalysis. Freud hosted weekly evening meetings in his home, where he and other therapists discussed both theoretical and case-related topics, essentially conducting group supervision (Hess, 2008).
When practicing psychodynamic psychotherapy, supervision is essential. However, what happens during supervision is highly variable. In this Masterclass, Dr Nick Bendit & Dr Kris Rao will discuss 'process supervision', which is common to most psychodynamic models, as well as cover 'audio tape supervision', which is somewhat unique to supervising the Conversational Model (CM) practitioners. The webinar will emphasise managing both difficult clients and supervisees, along with other clinical challenges encountered in the supervisory relationship.
