ADVANCED TRAINING Diploma in Integrative Supervision - commencing February 2011 INTRODUCTION This course provides a solid foundation in the theory and practice of supervision drawing on the model outlined by Shohet & Hawkins in Supervision in the Helping Professions 1989 and Clarkson’s integrative framework of five relational modalities in The Therapeutic Relationship 1995. It provides a structure which contains theoretical, experiential and practice components and aims to enable the supervisor to work with counsellors and/or psychotherapists who may have trained in a variety of different orientations.

The theoretical input will include integrative, psychodynamic and humanistic ideas and will be centred on developing an awareness and understanding of the importance of the supervisory relationship, together with the roles and responsibilities of the supervisor. Topics covered will include: contracting, ethics, issues of difference, assessment and focusing, Clarkson’s five relational modalities, unconscious relational processes including transference and countertransference, developmental stages, the organisational context of supervision, the internal supervisor, and working with groups.

The experiential/practice component will include role-played practice sessions as well as the opportunity for group supervision of the supervisory work of the participant.

Participants will be required to write a theoretical paper (4000 words) and to deliver a 1½ hr presentation to the group. Assessment will be through self, peer and tutor assessment procedures. After the successful completion of the course a Diploma will be awarded.
