In this episode, Carol discusses how early in her career she was hired to be the assistant director of training for a child and family guidance clinic, and became very intrigued in the processes of clinical supervision. After a decade, she became Director of Training at another American Psychological Association accredited program and developed the site visit documentation, which led her to collaborate with her future coauthor, Ed Shafranske, Ph.D., to develop a model of supervision. She explained how their model is transtheoretical, providing a framework for supervisors to provide supervision systematically and intentionally. She said that most clinicians provide supervision the way they were supervised, through osmosis, or internalizing practices done unto them, rather than using a particular model or being guided by research and evidence. She pointed out that increasingly, high rates of inadequate and even harmful supervision are being reported by supervisees, and how the process of becoming a supervisor varies dramatically. Some supervisors simply begin, utilizing practices that were done unto them during their training trajectory; others have taken a workshop, and some have a longer training period with a substantial sequence of courseswork, experiential training, video review, and targeted feedback to develop their skills as a supervisor. She explained that in their model focus is on a process that includes development of the supervisory alliance, monitoring that alliance over time attentive to the perspectives of cultural humility with respect to the clients, supervisees, and supervisor. Additionally it includes focus on reacivity or countertransference, supervisee self-care, legal and ethical issues, attending to a communitarian constellation, an environment of caring, respect, and support. We discussed having strong boundaries around supporting the supervisee in instances of reactivity in regards to client, while at the same time, never crossing the boundary to provide psychotherapy to the supervisee. In talking about supporting supervisees, she discussed trauma informed supervision and helping supervisees to have an understanding how their nervous system is affected, as well as helping them have tools for regulating their activation. She pointed out that the ultimate job of the supervisor is to protect clients, and gatekeeping, ensuring that unsuitable supervisees do not enter the profession. Carol discussed cultural humility and power in the supervisory relationship and how she and her co-author encourage supervisors to be open about their various identities and privilege from the outset of the supervisory relationship and throughout. She encourages giving feedback regularly throughout supervision, and being honest and transparent about the supervisee's development and scaffolding their strengths to improve the areas that are in development, rather than avoiding giving corrective feedback until review time. She discusses how monitoring client outcomes and feedback is critical and often left out in supervision, as well as encouraging supervisee self-assessment and not being fearful of give needed feedback to the supervisee. Carol Falender, Ph.D. is co-author of multiple books on clinical supervision including Clinical Supervision: A Competency-based Approach (2004; second edition, 2021), Getting the Most Out of Clinical Training and Supervision: A Guide for Practicum Students and Interns (2012) The Essentials of Competency-based Clinical Supervision (2017), co-editor of Casebook for Competency-based Clinical Supervision and all with Edward Shafranske; Multiculturalism and Diversity in Clinical Supervision: A Competency-based Approach (2014) edited with Edward Shafranske and Celia Falicov. She edited one book on consultation, Consultation in Psychology: A Competency-based Approach (2020) with Edward Shafranske. She has written numerous articles and conducted workshops and symposia internationally. She directed APA approved training programs for over 20 years and was a member of the Supervision Guidelines Group of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) and Chair of the Supervision Guidelines Task Force of the Board of Educational Affairs of APA. Dr. Falender is a Fellow of American Psychological Association (APA; Divisions 37. 29 and 43). She is an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University, Clinical Professor in the UCLA Department of Psychology.

In this interview Garth and Jane Halonen (University of West Florida, Pensacola, FL) kick off their PsychSessions 2023 East Coast Tour with Ludy (Ben) Benjamin, professor emeritus, from Texas A&M University in College Station, TX.  This interview takes place in Ludy's home in Charlottesville, VA. His early aspirations were to become a physician and play as much golf as possible, but both aspirations changed.  He earned his PhD in perception and began his career at Nebraska Wesleyan University, with a series of one-year contracts making just above qualifying for food stamps. He leaves NWU for a 2-year stint at the American Psychological Association, working in Educational Affairs, and it is there where Ben begins to launch projects and make an impact nationally.  He then worked at Texas A&M University for the next 32 years, retiring in 2012.  He taught Introduction to Psychology courses with 300 students for years, but his passion and expertise is the history of psychology.  Ben is a storyteller at heart, so he is well-suited for historical studies, and psychology is clearly the beneficiary.

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham step aboard USS New Jersey (BB-62) to learn about her amazing service history and why battleships like the New Jersey were the flagships of the United States Navy through World War II. Joining the show are Ryan Szimanski, Director of Curatorial and Educational Affairs, and Libby Jones, Director of Education and Digital Media at Battleship New Jersey. Battleship New Jersey is the most decorated battleship in Navy history, earning distinction in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and conflicts in the Middle East. The New Jersey's history spanned over half the 20th century, from her design in 1938 until 1991. She was launched on the first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and went on to steam more miles, fight in more battles, and fire more shells than any other battleship in history. In World War II, the New Jersey led the Pacific Fleet under Admirals Spruance and Halsey and fought in the two largest naval battles in history. She was reactivated to fight in the Korean War, and again to fight in the Vietnam War, when she was the world's only operating battleship. She was reactivated for a third time in the Cold War to assist in Desert Storm. Now, as a museum and memorial, the ship has found a new life, thanks in large part to the YouTube channel that the curators up on 6 days a week. We talk about the ship, her history and service, and how digital medial has revolutionized how the public can access the Battleship from they own living rooms. Check it out, only on ASPN!

Hilliard Jason, MD, EdD, co-founder, and Director of Educational Affairs at iMedtrust, offers insightful suggestions for Helping Faculty Members Enhance Their Capabilities as Communication Educators. 

Date: September 23, 2010 Featuring: Lawrence Smith, MD, Dean, Hofstra/North Shore-Long Island Jewish School of Medicine; Chief Medical Officer, North Shore-LIJ Health System John Rock, MD, Founding Dean, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University M. Brownell Anderson, Senior Director, Educational Affairs, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) It’s not easy to turn medical training upside down to better fit the needs of today’s patients and health care system. Consider that the last major reform occurred some 100 years ago and many, many institutions and individuals would say they’ve done just fine with the basics and, besides, some of the new content areas like “humanism” would be nice to know, but they’re hardly essential. I’m going to be a surgeon, after all!Well, don’t try that out on the Deans of some 20 new medical schools. The attitude also might not wash with a new breed of curriculum architects who pair students with patients in low-income neighborhoods from day one, who insist on the mastery of good communication skills, and who have begun to weave the science and the tools of quality improvement and patient safety in and out of all science and clinical coursework. This is the new reality for future doctors and a lot of the changes are occurring at the grassroots, school by school, with educational leaders and governing bodies just now harnessing the best that’s out there to create a new blueprint for medical training, overall. Dr. Lawrence Smith is serious about change. At his brand new medical school, Hofstra/North Shore–LIJ, first-year students will, among other things, get certified as EMTs and learn firsthand about teamwork and what patients and families need in crisis situations. At the Wertheim College of Medicine–Florida International University, Dean John Rock is sending medical students into diverse and complex communities so they’ll immediately appreciate medical realities within the context of social and economic realities. The AAMC’s Brownie Anderson, who’s in regular contact with all the new Dean innovators, joins WIHI fresh off a conference highlighting a vast amount of change occurring at all the nation’s medical schools. Whether it’s the IHI Open School or the virtual MyCaseSpace pioneered by the University of Central Florida, change is in the air and on the ground.
