Description
Summary:Marriage and family therapy educators and supervisors offer students the opportunity to put theory into action by facilitating live clinical training. Creativity is both a process and a goal of this supervised experience with the supervisors' task being threefold: (1) to facilitate a dialogue among the clinical team of observers as each session unfolds, (2) to streamline the dialogue or conversation into helpful and concise directives to share with the co-therapy teams, and (3) to identify and discuss common themes during group supervision discussions that follow. Live supervision provides supervisors and trainees with a series of "windows" through which to view training, therapist development and clients' struggles and gains. A case study serves as a reminder that the views through these various widows are often more similar than different.
