A How-To Guide for Avoiding Common Mistakes in Clinical Supervision
This webinar on clinical supervision addresses the need to ensure quality services while helping others develop their skills and style. We'll cover the four most common supervisory mistakes (focusing on the client rather than the clinician, ignoring the parallel process, spoon-feeding, and having unclear supervisory goals) and how to avoid them. We'll also map out the characteristics, goals, tasks, and dangers of each of the four stages of clinical development, and understand the three anxiety coping styles. Learn how to help those you supervise, while also gaining important insight into where you are in your professional journey.

Kolmac Clinic
The Plot Thickens: Using Narrative Techniques for Conflict Resolution
Presented by Donna Duquette, J.D. and Eileen Coen, J.D.
Friday, March 6, 2015, 8:45 am -- 12:00 pm
Workshop cost is $35; 3 Category 1 Social Work CEUs offered free of charge
In our practices we often hear problem-saturated stories starring victims and villains. These conflict stories are narratives that help create, enact, and sustain the conflict they are supposedly explaining. By complicating and destabilizing the conflict stories, new stories and strategies emerge that may support conflict resolution. Using videos, examples, and interactive exercises, two experienced mediators will offer an overview of narrative perspective related to conflict and practical approaches that can be applied in therapeutic settings.
Some specific areas that will be covered in the workshop are:
• Exploration of the power and structure of “stories”
• Techniques and questions to help complicate client stories
• Techniques and questions to highlight and create alternative stories
• Descriptions and opportunities to practice the techniques of “double listening” and “externalization”
