 The Approved Supervisor Refresher
Course
Angela Lamson, PhD
To maintain the highest quality supervisors in the field,
the AAMFT requires AAMFT Approved Supervisors to take a
refresher course prior to the renewal of their designation.
This one-day course is designed specifically to meet that
requirement, and to keep participants on the cutting edge of
clinical supervision practice.
The course will include case
examples, didactic, and interactional instruction methods
and will focus on current resources available to
supervisors, management of ethical and legal issues likely
to arise during supervision, utilization of supervision
contracts, cultural competence in supervision and therapy,
and discussion of the current Approved Supervisor
requirements.
Participants will:
-
review currently available
clinical supervision resources and information, with an
emphasis on the literature from the past five years.
-
discuss ways to manage
difficult ethical and legal issues that arise in the course
of supervision.
-
learn about the importance
of contracts in supervision and review the key elements
necessary for creating a developmentally appropriate
supervision contract.
-
consider ways to address
multiple cultural, gender, and socioeconomic issues that are
inherent in and have an impact on therapy and supervision.
-
learn about the current
standards for becoming and maintaining the AAMFT Approved
Supervisor designation, with particular attention to the
Approved Supervisor’s role as a mentor.
Participants are strongly encouraged to
bring resources that would enhance and deepen the learning
experience for everyone involved (e.g., samples of the forms
they use; challenging supervisory situations for discussion)
and be prepared to share their own supervisory expertise.
