Crisis Management during "Live" Supervision: Clinical and Instructional Matters
Charles, Laurie L.; Ticheli-Kallikas, Michele; Tyner, Kelly; Barber-Stephens, Brandi
Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v31 n3 p207-219 Jul 2005
In this article, we illustrate two examples of "live" supervision with marriage and family therapy trainees whose clients presented in the therapy room in immediate crisis. The case examples, one a client with suicidal thoughts and the other a parent who had struck her child, demonstrate how the university-based therapy team managed the recursive clinical and supervision processes that unfolded during the sessions. We present the case examples from the perspective of both supervisees and supervisor, discussing how our different experiences of the supervision unfolded in real time. Case discussion and reflections later in the article illustrate the need for an open, transparent, dialogical process throughout supervision. A case is made for supervisory participants to create alternative formats in which multiple supervisory voices can be heard.
