| Abstract: | Proposes a more structured form of presupervisory preparation than generally exists in graduate training programs. Guidelines for incorporating such instruction are provided. Topics for discussion, including salient issues and perspectives in the supervision literature as well as research findings, are outlined. Potential pitfalls and strategies for trainees to deal with dissatisfactions are identified. The suggested curriculum for preparing the supervisee would cover the differences between a didactic and a therapeutic emphasis, stages of development within supervision, interpersonal relationships, and countertransference and parallel process. An overview of supervisory methods, especially with respect to the presentation of case material would also be valuable. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
