As discussed in this module, the purpose of clinical supervision is to ensure the welfare of the client, help the supervisee grow professionally, and provide remediation services if necessary. Supervision is a distinct professional activity aimed at helping the supervisee enhance his or her level of professional competence and is used both pre- and post-licensure. Your discussion in this module has two parts related to the issues of supervision and competence. In the first part, you will identify what characteristics make a competent supervisor and how you can identify these characteristics in real life. In the second part, you will discuss regulatory bodies and their roles in protecting clients and the public from unethical behavior on the part of counseling professionals. The purpose of this assignment is for you to understand not only resources, which are available to you (i.e., clinical supervision), but also regulatory agencies, which protect the public from harm by professionals.
Tasks:
In a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following (Note: Please include both parts of this assignment as one post):
Part 1: In your training, you will work with a clinical supervisor for practicum and internship experiences:
Discuss what according to you constitutes a competent supervisor.Discuss how a supervisor’s competence can best be assessed or determined.Part 2: Take the perspective of a licensed or credentialed professional counselor (whose financial livelihood depends upon being perceived as a competent and well-prepared professional):
How should regulatory agencies (for the sake of this discussion, this includes “gatekeeping” bodies such as counselor training programs, licensure boards, credentialing bodies, and professional membership associations) best carry out the responsibility to work in the best interest of counselors while simultaneously trying to protect clients and the public from unethical behavior by counselors? For example, the inherent conflict of a professional association (i.e., ACA) trying to provide resources and professional advocacy for counselors while also being responsible for the ethical adjudication of code violations. Your answer should relate to gatekeeping, remediation, and requirements for getting and maintaining licensure.
