Curriculum og erfaring—et spændingsfelt for klinisk psykologisk supervision

Abstract

Nielsen, J. (2004): Curriculum and experience—a field for clinical psychological supervision. Nordisk Psykologi, 56 (2), 155–176 This article focuses on some fundamental relationships that are central to the training of clinical psychologists. The article is structured around three themes: first, some basic competencies that the clinical psychologist must master; second, some characteristic practical problems that distinguish clinical psychological treatment as a definite professional field; and third, the specific didactic methods—such as supervision—that these problems demand. The background for this article is a research project about psychotherapy, learning processes, and supervision. It is the first in a series of articles that will analyse supervision as a particularly clinical psychological way of learning. The goal of the research project is to describe and define central aspects of the supervision process. The first part of the project will focus on developing a framework for the learning process during supervision, selecting particular functions and processes that appear to play an important role in supervision. The article closes with some reflections on supervision that will be developed in a following work (Nielsen, 2004d).
