Supervising Postgraduate Clinical Psychology Students Masterclass

Workshop facilitator: Catherine Brennan

This one-day masterclass aims to discuss issues specific to the supervision of students undertaking postgraduate professional training programs in clinical psychology.

The workshop will provide a description of the organisational context in which supervision occurs, as well as the roles of various professional and training bodies. Issues relating to competency-based assessment, evaluation and monitoring will be discussed within the developmental and organisational context and strategies to manage ruptures in the supervisory alliance. Supervision from a culturally and socially diverse lens will also be addressed.

The workshop has relevance to all board approved supervisors involved in teaching and training of postgraduate clinical psychology students.

This workshop is aimed at supervisors of clinical psychology students on placement or those considering taking these students for placements.
