Session 1 Supervisor Consultation Philosophy
“Keeper of the Culture…focus on productivity and people…”. David Barrett Leadership and Fundamental Perspective
Reflection: My Supervisor Experiences • Individual Activity • Consider Previous Supervisor(s): • Where would you rate them? • What were they like? • How did it make you feel?
Considering Your Supervisor Style “Maybe even the discovery of identity of self is helped along more by being given feedback from a group of other people of how I affect them, what influence I have on them, how they see me and so on.” -Abraham Maslow
What We Know…. • Expertise • Knowledge and Skill • Performance Expectations • Accountability • Process Orientated • Mentor • Analytical • Collaborator • Accessible • Approachable • Empathetic • Respectful
Session 2 Supervisor Consultation: Focus and Influence
Why Consultation is Important • “Tenured employees do not always perform better than novices in unstructured problem areas such as psychology, psychiatry and (social work).”- E.J. Johnson, 1988 • “Depends on the nature of the judgmental task…People, whether familiar with a domain or not, have difficulty integrating diverse sources of information in clinical judgments and tend to make certain kinds of errors…” (Gambrill, 1990)
Common Decision-Making Errors that occur during the FFA • Initial Impressions • Drawing premature conclusions • Overconfidence in judgment • Selective information gathering • Not adhering to systematic processes • The phenomenon of “The Need to Not Know”
Enhancing Worker Skills and Competencies “It is the responsibility of the supervisor as a case consultant to the worker to prevent the premature commitment to a position, point of view, judgment and prevent staff from becoming unwilling to consider alternative interpretations based on further information.” Gambrill, 1990 Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice
