This training presents a formulation-driven conceptual approach to providing administratively- and professionally-effective clinical supervision. The goal of supervision is guiding trainees to meet individual professional development goals and needs. By designing the administrative relationship and training based on professional formulations, this enables supervisors to offer supervisees the most relevant, helpful, and collaborative professional development experience..
Further, using evaluation standards based on trainees’ growth in response to formulation-guided training interventions also changes supervisors’ approach to diversity, equity, and inclusiveness considerations given the historic structural and systemic biases that disadvantage and exclude trainees of color and of non-majority personal backgrounds.
