CLINICAL SUPERVISION
CLINICAL SUPERVISION EXPERIENCE
Baiden & Associates LLC is expanding clinical supervision for Licensed or Licensure-Track Social Workers.
Supervision Description:
Therapy is both an art and a science. While it’s possible to learn basic scientific principles in school, the art of therapy can prove challenging. How will you deal with a client who can’t stop crying? What will you do if a client never speaks or only seems interested in talking about you? How can you measure progress in therapy? How can you prevent your own biases and emotions from intruding upon the therapeutic process? These are difficult questions with complex answers. Clinical supervision prepares you to tackle these and many other issues.
Therapist have an ethical duty to protect their client’s best interest and provide quality therapy. Doing so can prove difficult when you’re learning. Clinical supervision allows you to learn by doing, without risking harm to your clients or treating them as a guinea pigs.
