| Clinical supervision requires a unique set of knowledge and skills which build on, but are different from, counseling knowledge and skills. Administrative supervision also requires a unique set of knowledge and skills that often can differ from the knowledge and approach that clinically trained professionals utilize. This series offers a learning opportunity for those professionals new to clinical supervision as well as for those needing some advanced training or needing further knowledge with regard to administrative issues.
Course one (Theories of Clinical Supervision) is taught by Dr. Rick Gressard of the College of William and Mary.
This course is designed to provide substance abuse counselor supervisors with an overview of models and theories of counselor supervision. The modules of the course will explore supervision theory, developmental supervision models, the tasks of supervision, the different dimensions of supervision, the Stoltenberg model, and David Powell's model. Although the course focuses on models and theories, it will emphasize practical applications of these models. Students will be encouraged to explore how the use of the supervision models can expand and enhance their current supervision practices.
Course two (Advanced Issues in Clinical Supervision) is taught by Mary Jenkins and Charlotte Chapman and is an advanced level course. It will cover supervisor development, ethical, legal, clinical and professional issues for experienced supervisors.
Course three (Management of Substance Abuse Programs) is taught by Jane and Don Lewis. This course will introduce the student to all areas of knowledge that are required of today’s managers; personnel topics, financial issues, personal skills and leadership styles.
Another course, Evidence Based Practices for Supervisors, is taught by Scott Reiner as part of the Evidence Based Series. This course incorporates concepts from the Change Book (NATTC), the blended model of supervision (David Powell) and technology transfer to assist the addiction treatment and prevention workforce in increasing their knowledge and skills about how to provide supervision and administration for evidence-based practices.
