WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AN INDIVIDUAL SUPERVISION SESSION? REFLECTIONS OF SOCIAL WORKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA

This article reports on qualitative research, aimed at acquiring an understanding of what transpires in an individual social work supervision session in South Africa. Findings reveal that supervision sessions are chiefly “open door” and “on the run”, with minimal evidence of critical reflection. A key recommendation stresses that the evolution of supervision in the country should enter a new phase as response to the hegemony of a neoliberal inspired managerial discourse in social work. The deliberate utilisation of more clinical educational and supportive elements, and critical reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action in supervision sessions is therefore recommended. Keywords: social work supervision, clinical supervision, reflection, neoliberalism, managerialism

Psychotherapy Supervision Since 1909: Some Friendly Observations About its First Century

Now a century old, psychotherapy supervision occupies a place of increasing prominence across all mental health disciplines and appears to generally be regarded as a (if not the) sine qua non for the teaching and learning of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy supervision has emerged as our “signature pedagogy.” In this paper, I take a look back at supervision’s last century and consider some (but by no means all) of the salient issues and themes that have defined its science and practice. The reviewed supervision issues and themes include the following: (1) the beginnings and evolution of supervision and supervision theory; (2) our evolving perspective about the supervision matrix; (3) methodological pluralism and diversity; (4) “good” and “bad” supervisor behaviors and the working alliance; (5) measurement; (6) effectiveness; (7) diversity; and (8) education. I use this “look back” to (1) give voice to where we have been and where we are now in psychotherapy supervision and (2) shine a light on some of what seems to lie ahead for supervision’s second century.

Perceptions from a University Field Supervisor's Perch

The face of teacher supervision has changed tremendously in the past decades. That, of course, has impacted the supervision of student teachers as well. Supervision has evolved from a relatively unimportant role to a major one that assists in the school improvement process. A veteran student teacher supervisor chronicles stu{fent teacher assignments that have been amended, created, or deleted to meet changing needs. 1hese changes have been fashioned by multiple sources: the needs of student teachers, the teacher education program, district and state requirements, as well as a sh(ft in educational paradigms. Supervision is crucial to the improvement of teaching and learning. In the next years, the evolution of supervision will dictate whether its evolving precepts create a solid foundation, especially at the pre-service stage, where teaching and learning can be enhanced or simply become another divergent path.
