Workshop 10
Lost In Translation: The Supervisory Process

 

Chair:

Eleanor Counselman, Ed.D., FAGPA, CGP, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry

(Psychology), Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA

 

Psychotherapy presented in supervision inevitably loses something in translation. Use of the supervisory relationship for information about the psychotherapy can reduce the "translation" effect. This workshop will provide an overview of effective supervision and focus particularly on appropriate use of parallel process, enactments, and associations within the supervisory session. This workshop is for anyone interested in supervision.
