NINTH INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON CLINICAL SUPERVISIONAdelphi UniversityJune 12–June 14, 2013

Dear Friends:

We are pleased to welcome you to the Ninth International Interdisciplinary Conference on Clinical Supervision—dedicated to advancing clinical supervision practice and research throughout the helping professions.

This is the fourth consecutive year Adelphi is hosting the conference, which brings together educators, practitioners and researchers from across America and around the world. The conference has become a treasured opportunity to move beyond disciplinary and professional perspectives and engage in meaningful dialogue with like-minded academics and practitioners from varied clinical and theoretical traditions. This year’s program offers preconference workshops, paper presentations, plenary sessions, invitational presentations and roundtable hot-topic discussions, delivered in an atmosphere that is relaxed and stimulating.

On Wednesday, our preconference workshops speak to the complexity of clinical supervisory issues in trauma and in end of life. The opening plenary features Andreea Szilagyi, D.Ed., whose address is entitled “International Clinical Supervision: A Cross-Cultural Perspective.” This year’s closing plenary, given by Rodney Goodyear, Ph.D., examines clinical supervision effectiveness: What works, what does not, and to what extent? In between, we know you will enjoy workshops, roundtables, papers and invitational on such research and practice topics as self-disclosure, student learning, the use of technology, military culture, organizational issues, multicultural clinical supervision, collaborative supervision and many more.

During your stay in Garden City, we hope you will enjoy Adelphi’s beautiful campus as you renew friendships, strengthen professional ties, exchange ideas and consider new opportunities for research and practice partnerships.

We hope you have a wonderful conference.

Sincerely,

Andrew Safyer, Ph.D., and Peter Chernack, D.S.W., LCSWConference Co-Chairs

“THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: APPLYING A TRAUMA LENS IN SUPERVISION WITH THE COMPLEX CLIENT”9:00 A.M.–12:00 NOONTHOMAS DIXON LOVELY BALLROOM, RUTH S. HARLEY UNIVERSITY CENTERPRESENTERS: MANDY HABIB, PSY.D., AND VICTOR LABRUNA, PH.D.

WORKSHOP SUMMARYBy conceptualizing case material within a trauma-informed framework, a supervisor can help to shape all aspects of their

supervisee’s therapeutic encounter from diagnostic assessment to treatment. The emotional, behavioral and cognitive

dysregulation experienced and exhibited by trauma survivors may often present as challenging. When viewing these

symptoms through a trauma lens, difficult or problematic behaviors are better understood in context by both the clinician

and the client. Emotional connection within the therapeutic alliance can be fragile and oftentimes fraught with disruptions

rooted in both transference and countertransference reactions. In helping the clinician to understand presenting symptoms as

adaptations to traumatic events that were, at one point, essential to physical and/or psychological survival, supervisors can

help to repair these disruptions, strengthen the therapeutic relationship and increase clients’ understanding of themselves.

This presentation will discuss critical components of trauma-informed supervision, including expanding knowledge of specific

self-regulatory skills, fostering optimism and hope, self-awareness in understanding clients’ impact on the clinician (with particular

attention to personal trauma histories) and fostering a sense of connectedness to other professionals. Case presentations will be

utilized to highlight these and other important topics.

Mandy Habib, Psy.D., is co-director of the Institute for Adolescent Trauma Training and Treatment at Adelphi University’s School of Social Work. The Institute, a Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration-funded center within the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), is focused on improving the provision of trauma-informed services to children and adolescents through training and workforce development. Dr. Habib has many years of research, supervisory and clinical experience working in the field of traumatic stress and serves as co-chair of the NCTSN’s Complex Trauma Work Group. She led treatment development and dissemination efforts for more than 10 years within the Adolescent Trauma Treatment Development Center at North Shore University Hospital, during which time she became one of the principal authors of Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS).

In her role as a treatment developer and primary national trainer for SPARCS, Dr. Habib has provided in-depth trauma-focused training and supervision to more than 700 clinicians across the country and continues to provide local and national training and consultation on a range of topics, including the impact, assessment and treatment of complex trauma in children and adults.

Victor Labruna, Ph.D., is co-director of Adelphi’s Institute for Adolescent Trauma Training and Treatment. Dr. Labruna has served in leadership positions on numerous grants, including two federally funded research grants—a National Institute of Mental Health Longitudinal Study of Physically Abused Adolescents and a U.S. Department of Defense grant developing family-focused behavioral health interventions. Dr. Labruna also has substantial expertise in program and intervention development. As associate director of the Division of Trauma Psychiatry at North Shore University Hospital, he co-founded the Florence and Robert A. Rosen Family Wellness Center and the Crime Victim’s Program, both of which continue to serve children and adults. Dr. Labruna is also an author of Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS), which he has helped to disseminate nationally through trainings in more than 10 states.

“CREATIVE AND THERAPEUTIC EXPRESSIONS OF LOSS AND RECOVERY: THE ART OF SUPERVISING THERAPISTS OF TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES”1:00 P.M.–4:00 P.M.THOMAS DIXON LOVELY BALLROOM, RUTH S. HARLEY UNIVERSITY CENTERPRESENTER: NORMAN FRIED, PH.D.

WORKSHOP SUMMARYPatients with life-threatening illnesses (and their families) face psychological trauma that includes a sense of emotional

disempowerment and an accompanying spiritual and physical disconnection from others that belies their true needs for

connection at the end of life. These needs are often indirectly expressed in symbolism—through metaphor, storytelling,

letter writing and poetry. Unfortunately, most clinicians receive only minimal training in end-of-life care and can benefit

greatly from supervision that enables them to remain attuned to the patient so as to more openly address and hear their

messages. More importantly, understanding the lessons the patients are trying to convey to their families can help make

the survivor’s therapeutic journey ultimately become more meaningful.

Through in-depth case illustrations that combine on-the-job experiences with terminally ill patients, along with clinical research

and theory, this workshop will examine strategies for supervising mental health professionals during this challenging time in

the life of the patient and their family. Counselor wellness and self-care will be addressed along with the issue of compassion

fatigue. Strategies for the prevention of burnout will be highlighted.

Norman J. Fried, Ph.D., is past director of psychosocial services for the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, New York. A clinical psychologist with a graduate degree from Emory University and a clinical and pediatric fellowship at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Fried has also taught at St. John’s University and at the New York University School of Medicine. He has a private practice specializing in grief and bereavement counseling on Long Island, and has more than 20 years of experience supervising medical, social work and psychology students. Dr. Fried is the author of two books, including The Angel Letters: Lessons That Dying Can Teach Us About Living.

“INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL SUPERVISION: A CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE”9:00 A.M.–10:30 A.M.THOMAS DIXON LOVELY BALLROOM, RUTH S. HARLEY UNIVERSITY CENTERPRESENTER: ANDREEA SZILAGYI, D.ED., NCC, GCDF

PRESENTATION SUMMARYThis presentation will focus on the development and state of supervision associated with multidisciplinary helping professions

in Europe. The approaches and terminology employed for supervision across Europe most traditionally have been associated

with psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The presenter will explore the European context in which the need for supervision

arose. She will examine the development of effective supervision and educational training programs, as well as the role of

local and global professional associations, and current research in the field. A description of a unique certification program

for training professional supervisors that has been recently developed and implemented in Europe will also be included.

Emergent findings of the impact of supervisory training in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Macedonia, Portugal and

Romania will be shared. As the status of supervision in Europe seems to be directly related to the stage of the development

of each helping profession, the presenter will identify several areas in need of more research to help shape and improve

future supervisory practices. Cultural aspects of supervisory activities in Europe will be presented, with a special emphasis

on countries of the former Communist bloc. Throughout the presentation, Syracuse School of Education Associate Professor

Melissa Luke, Ph.D., will offer her perspective on the status of the theory and practice of supervision in the United States and

compare aspects of the two continents that have implications for supervision.

Andreea Szilagyi, D.Ed., NCC, GCDF, completed the first doctoral program in Romania with a counseling emphasis and became one of that country’s first counselor educators. Dr. Szilagyi is currently on leave as associate professor at Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, and heads the European Board for Certified Counselors, and she served as member of the Executive Board of the International Association for Counseling for four years. She has authored, co-authored and edited books and articles in peer-reviewed journals and has undertaken research and externally funded projects in the European community. Dr. Szilagyi is a recognized expert in career counseling, higher education, supervision in counseling in Europe and an advocate for the professionalization of the counseling profession internationally.

supervision. They will examine the structural and interpersonal issues that impede and/or facilitate client-responsive clinical

supervision.

“COLLABORATIVE SUPERVISION IN CHALLENGING CASES”1:30 P.M.–3:00 P.M.RUTH S. HARLEY UNIVERSITY CENTER, ROOM 313PRESENTERS: TONY ROUSMANIERE, PSY.D., UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS, AND MIKE ELLIS, PH.D., UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY

PRESENTATION SUMMARYWhile many major supervision theories emphasize the importance of collaboration between the supervisor and supervisee,

clinical experience indicates that achieving high levels of collaboration may be challenging in certain cases, even with

advanced trainees. This symposium will feature four prominent supervision theorists and experts—Janine Bernard, Ph.D.,

L. DiAnne Borders, Ph.D., Carol Falender, Ph.D., and C. Edward Watkins Jr., Ph.D.—who will discuss their approach to

collaboration in supervision. The speakers will provide practical guidance for supervisors facing challenging cases, including:

• How should supervisors proceed when either the supervisor and/or the supervisee are unable or unwilling to be

collaborative (e.g., when collaboration is culturally incongruous for the supervisee)?

• What methods/techniques are recommended for achieving collaboration in challenging cases?

• When is collaboration contraindicated?

• How can supervisors assess the extent of collaboration by supervisees and differentiate it from compliance?

CLOSING PLENARY“CLINICAL SUPERVISION EFFECTIVENESS: WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOES NOT, AND TO WHAT EXTENT?”11:30 A.M.–1:00 P.M. THOMAS DIXON LOVELY BALLROOM, RUTH S. HARLEY UNIVERSITY CENTERPRESENTER: RODNEY GOODYEAR, PH.D.

PRESENTATION SUMMARYAlthough clinical supervision is, by consensus, essential to therapist growth and development, research documents variability in

supervisors’ effectiveness. This presentation will be organized around a conceptual model that describes the levels of supervision

impact (on supervisees, on supervisee-client interactions and on the clients themselves). Those factors that have been shown to be

useful in effecting change will be examined, as will those shown to be ineffective or even harmful. This presentation will draw on

recent work on the challenges of developing psychotherapy expertise to suggest some challenges for supervisors.

Rodney Goodyear, Ph.D., is an education professor at the University of Redlands and holds emeritus status at the University of Southern California, where he directed the counseling psychology program for two decades. His interests in training and supervision have been reflected in both his professional activities and his scholarship. He has served on both the American Psychological Association’s Continuing Education Committee and its Commission on Accreditation and has received the Council of Counseling Psychology Training Programs’ Award for Lifetime Contributions to Education and Training in Counseling Psychology. In fact, the latter extends back more than three decades, with many articles, chapters, as well as guest-edited journal issues. Dr. Goodyear recently co-authored, with Janine Bernard, the fifth edition of Fundamentals of

Clinical Supervision, which has become, in its multiple editions, supervision’s most cited publication.
