Beschreibung

Cultivate self-awareness, empathy, and clinical competence in the mental health professionals you supervise

Providing tested guidance for clinical supervisors of mental health professionals, editors Roy A. Bean, Sean D. Davis, and Maureen P. Davey draw from their own backgrounds in training, private practice, and academe, as well as from an international panel of experts representing various mental health fields to provide activities and best practices that allow therapists to better serve an increasingly diverse set of clients and issues.

While clinical skills are easily observed, the more subtle areas of self-awareness, or exploring unexamined judgments are more difficult to spot and to provide supervision and guidance for. The numerous experiential activities included will help supervisors and the mental health professional they supervise develop their skills and techniques around:

• Intuition
• Empathy
• Self-awareness
• Mindfulness
• Multicultural awareness
• Perspective taking

The book covers both clinical as well as diversity-focused competence and awareness, and suggests various forms of activities, including research exercises, reflection, journaling, and more. Each activity includes measurement metrics as well as additional resources that help clinicians identify the best activity for a given situation. Appropriate for clinicians at every level and from a multitude of backgrounds, these tried and tested best practices can be used in clinical supervision, as a class assignment, or to facilitate professional growth.

Preface

Across all mental health professions, practitioners have long been focused on providing competent and effective treatment to their clients. Countless empirical studies and theoretical papers have been published in an attempt to improve the quality of clinical treatments. More recently, this collective investment in quality clinical education and treatment has been reflected in outcome-focused educational accreditation principles, more stringent measures of therapeutic success, and explicit measures of clinical competence and treatment efficacy.

In most instances, the practice of clinical training has been advanced, as exemplified by standardized educational curriculums designed to help clinicians meet outcome-based criteria for graduation and licensure. Unfortunately, a primary or unbalanced devotion to outcome-based education can be limiting in at least two ways. First, it can turn the supervisor's focus to the assessment of clinician outcomes in lieu of being actively engaged in the training process and the current experiences of the clinicians-in-training. Second, it can emphasize supervisory attention to clinician factors that are more easily observed (e.g., knowledge acquisition, skill development) rather than therapist awareness and competencies in the more subtle areas, such as overcoming personal biases or developing intuition, empathy, and perspective taking.

One of the key characteristics of a competent and emotionally stable clinician is self-awareness. In fact, regardless of the mental health specialization (e.g., professional counselor, psychologist, clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist, psychiatrist, chemical dependence counselor), all psychotherapists need to be aware of their own biases and personal limitations. As supervisors and educators work to assess and foster competence and self-awareness, they serve an important gatekeeping function by guarding access to the profession and, more importantly, by protecting clients from inadequate and/or unethical clinical care. A greater level of self-awareness can help clinicians avoid many problems and, when needed, can facilitate the resolution of training issues. Competent clinicians who have greater self-awareness are also able to more easily keep professional boundaries and to avoid dangerous levels of countertransference and enmeshment with clients. Similarly, clinicians who have been well-trained at this level are more often able to avoid burnout and are more likely to genuinely and professionally connect to their clients.
