Certificate In Supervision

Here at the Institute we are offering a five-day course spread over a period of five modules. We will look at the meaning of supervision as it applies in your field of work whether you work individually or in a group setting, in psychotherapy, counselling or in the areas of social work, nursing, clinical psychology or psychiatry or indeed any of the caring professions.

The course will run over five full days 10am until 5pm each Monday/Tuesday.

Module One:APRIL 6TH-2009-MONDAY
This module will explore the philosophical concepts of supervision, what it is in relation to the work you do. We will look at the goals and outcomes of the methods used and explore how it applies to each member of the group.

Module Two: MAY 5TH-2009-TUESDAY
Here we will look at the ‘process model’ of supervision put forward by Hawkins and Shoet in their book on supervision called “Supervision in the helping profession” 1989. This is an excellent model for mapping out where you are in the supervisory process. You can also use this model as a Parallel process model.

Module Three: JUNE-1ST-2009-MONDAY
In this module we will look at the different tasks of supervision and specifically the gate keeping process within supervision. We will also examine the notion of the Parallel process in supervision.

Module Four: JUNE 22ND-2009-MONDAY
Here we will look at the developmental aspect of supervision.
We will look at the developmental models of Richard Erskine, Delworth, and Stoltenburg, as a guide to how we may approach the supervision process.

Module Five: JULY 6TH-2009-MONDAY
In this module we will bring together the various strands of what we have been looking at in the previous modules, and hopefully finding an integrative view of supervision, which will suit your own particular style.
