General description

​

The present space that we provide as an institute is constituted by the need to be able to offer in an unprecedented way a service that is currently largely absent, both in institutions and in academic spaces of Social Work. Only some clinical supervision experiences exist in our country, and in fact, when they do exist, they are carried out by professionals from other disciplines, who are unable to respond to the disciplinary needs of Social Work with respect to their current practice, even more so to the clinical work that we carry out. . It is in this particular context that as an institute we have decided to open this space to form a community of colleagues who require and want to maintain constant clinical supervision, ensuring timely and quality access, both for those who practice clinical practice in Chile, as well as in others. Latin American or related countries.  

Clinical supervision for us as IChTSC is a reflective and complementary space, it seeks to develop the clinical work of professionals from a collaborative ethic, both at a therapeutic level and at the level of their person as a professional. All this is framed in a reflective learning and experiential space from a broad framework of Social Justice. Therefore, we understand that in clinical supervision processes, supervisors fulfill the roles of mentors, guides, tutors and collaborators, through the ethical principles of Clinical Co-Vision, Critical Dialogue and Collaborative Clinical Supervision.

​

​

Rationale

​

Due to the lack of formal and institutional spaces for Social Work professionals in our country, as well as in others. We as IChTSC have opened this project that translates into offering a clinical supervision service to provide timely and quality access to colleagues who wish to expand their clinical work and strengthen their therapeutic identity as professionals. Other university mental health professionals (such as psychologists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, nurses) who are willing to work and obtain a complementary vision from Clinical Social Work can also participate in this space.

In general, in our professional culture there is a traditional view of supervision, which is usually implemented mainly from public policy under a logic that considers this space to be an intervention with an evaluative purpose of the performance of the professional who pursues or seeks the quality control of interventions and thus facilitate the effectiveness of interventions. This vision of clinical supervision tends to be approached from a directive approach and is generally approached from the perspective of the supervisor (as an expert) and his definition of what is supposed to be: “good or bad practices”, generating power differences between the supervised and supervised, thus enhancing feelings of fear, anguish and low self-esteem in the supervised (Ituarte, 1991, 2004; White, 2004, 2008; O'Neil and Del Mar, 2018). In other words, clinical supervision becomes an instance where someone with more power and experience criticizes the intervention carried out, quickly delivering supposed solutions for some techniques that should have been considered in the actions of those supervised. This makes us affirm that, commonly, there is a confusion in the practice settings, which confuse clinical counseling (aimed at strengthening the techniques for intervention), administrative supervision (supervision of financial resources, materials, folders or files for example ) and clinical supervision (supervision of therapeutic processes and ethical aspects).

As a response to the above, the professionals who supervise by the IChTSC do so from collaborative approaches, from critical, anti-oppressive and postmodern conversations. In this sense, clinical supervision is understood as a dialogic space where the supervisor / s and the supervised / s actively collaborate in an egalitarian and shared relationship with a vision of strengths, focused on resources and potentialities. This is how questions are asked that promote the professional's reflection, also integrating aspects of the therapist's person. From these perspectives, hypotheses are co-constructed in supervision and possible practices and a joint approach are developed.

​

​

Methodology

​

The clinical supervision groups will be held for 3 hours, every 15 days, through the use of a digital platform (Virtual Campus Moodle) and a real-time session through the zoom platform. In each session, one of the participants will be able to supervise a clinical situation (be it a care performed or a personal work) and the others will be part of the reflective team that will support the co-vision space together with the clinical supervisors. The first cycle of clinical supervision groups will last 6 months.

​​

​
