Clinical Supervision and Professional Development Using Clients from Literature, Popular Fiction, and Entertainment Media
Schwitzer, Alan M.; Boyce, Debra; Cody, Patricia; Holman, Angela; Stein, Jackie
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v1 n1 p57-80 2005
The use of clinical supervision is central to mental health work. In this article, the authors propose using practice cases drawn from characters found in literature, popular fiction, biographies, television, and movies as one method for clinical supervision and professional development in the mental health skill areas of client assessment, case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The method is illustrated with clinical formulations pertaining to four practice clients: Scarlett O'Hara; Maya Angelou's Marguerite Johnson; the fairytale character, Hansel; and the Wicked Queen of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Applications and limitations of the method are discussed.
