WSP Supervision Training Program
WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF PSYCHIATRY
IS TAKING APPLICATIONS NOW FOR THE FALL 2009
SUPERVISION TRAINING PROGRAM
The Supervision Training Program comprises a one-year curriculum which provides experienced supervisors and those interested in psychotherapy supervision a background in the theory and practice of supervision from a psychodynamic perspective, and provides an opportunity to look more deeply into the complexity of constructing a positive supervisory environment. This program provides a comprehensive view of the overlaps and differences between supervision and psychotherapy, and examines how conscious and unconscious forces, both within and between supervisor and supervisee, must be addressed for the supervisory experience to be effective.
CURRICULUM
The Program consists of eight three-hour, once-monthly meetings, each devoted to a different topic. The first half of each session is a didactic and clinical exploration of that day’s topic led by members of the faculty, who are experienced supervisors. The second part is an ongoing, experiential supervision group led by one faculty member for the entire year.
SCHEDULE
Classes meet on a monthly basis from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday mornings from October through May at the Washington School of Psychiatry. The first meeting will be on October 17. The following meetings will take place on November 7, December 12, January 9, February 6, March 6, April 3, and May 1.
