Drawing on findings from evidence-based programs of CBT supervision, this presentation will highlight the essential contents and processes of CBT supervision. The following major areas of interest will be described: (1) The supervisory relationship, (2) The chief responsibilities and teaching methods of a CBT supervisor, (3) Promoting ethical behavior and cultural humility in supervisees, (4) Facilitating supervisee competency across different levels of supervisee development, (5) Managing important administrative tasks, and (6) Providing feedback and formal evaluations in a timely, constructive manner. Multi-modal aspects of the methods of supervision will be highlighted, including the use of readings, audio-visual recordings, role-modeling, and role-playing. This two-hour master clinician seminar is designed for early career professionals who anticipate or have recently commenced providing CBT supervision to trainees, as well as more experienced CBT supervisors looking for a refresher course. Vignettes of challenging supervision scenarios will be presented, along with brief demonstration role-plays by the presenters.
