| Summary: | The purpose of supervision in mental health counseling is to enrich the clinician's attitudes, knowledge, and skills in order to competently provide quality care to their clients. A counseling supervisor answers questions, provides guidance and support, and helps with case conceptualization, methods, or specific interventions by asking questions and/or making suggestions. They help new counselors cope with counter-transference and heavy emotional issues that clients may present. As experienced professionals, supervisors also help new counselors develop a professional identity. Five Approaches to Supervision features five different helping professionals who meet with Dr. Lori Russell-Chapin to discuss their particular client case. Since each case and counselor have differing needs and demands, Lori demonstrates five separate models of supervision that are relevant to the supervision needs. The approaches demonstrated are Developmental, Theoretical, Social Role, Integrated/Microcounseling, and Interpersonal Process Recall. Viewers are encouraged to listen carefully to each Supervision Question as this assists in knowing which supervision model to select.
