Workshop description:

Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) requires a great deal from any clinician, whether they have experience or not. Supervising clinicians doing CPP requires the supervisor to hold the clinician’s reactions to and perceptions of the family, monitor the clinician’s work to ensure that they are maintaining fidelity to the CPP model, teach skills, and support the clinician to reflect on and be intentional about their work. The CPP model is complex and it can take more than 18 months of learning to ‘begin’ to feel integrated in the model. This reality requires that supervisors do more than ‘just reflect’ on cases and are called to teach. Case example and live supervision with be used in this training to highlight the following workshop objectives:
• Workshop participants will learn ways to think about when to teach and when to reflect with clinicians.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to give feedback to clinicians in supervision.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to form relationships with clinicians.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to manage times when they don’t have ‘grist’ to offer clinicians.
