General description

​

The essential objective of this course is to deliver the theoretical, experiential and methodological foundations  regarding clinical supervision and the person of the therapist in therapeutic practice. The centrality of the course is aimed at promoting a comprehensive look at the effects that therapeutic work produces in the person of those who perform clinical practice, even more so when said professional exercise is framed in the contextual performance of the psychosocial, health, judicial, etc; scenarios that, due to certain public policies, tend to erode the subjectivity of the professional, often triggering secondary traumatization, burnout due to empathy and ultimately burnout. The ulterior purpose is to provide an approach that considers the person of the therapist as an angular axis of the practice, which from a contemporary practice will emphasize the resources, skills, strengths and local knowledge that professionals have regarding to the various ways of caring for the self in clinical practice.

​

​

Rationale

If we analyze undergraduate training in Social Work or in other disciplines, both in Chile and elsewhere in Latin America, we will realize that the vast majority of them lack experiential spaces (subjects, workshops, practical supervision, etc.) where the person of the professional develops in clinical practice. Situation that is highly worrisome because the main resource of the professional is his own person, and not necessarily the theoretical and instrumental knowledge. This problem is mainly due to the fact that the discipline has been framed in a highly technological practice, which prioritizes technical-operational teaching to the detriment of the ethical, personal and biographical strengthening of the professionals.

This situation is often experienced as a tension, with a prevailing scenario that can promote practices that threaten our own personal care as professionals, mainly due to the lack of formal and institutional spaces for clinical supervision. Therefore, it is relevant to pay attention and dedication in a specialized way to the development of the therapist's person as the central axis of professional practice. In this sense, the prominent social worker and family therapist Mario Quiroz (2004: 120) already told us that “very few times has it been reflected on the importance of the person of the social worker in training for intervention with families and it is a reality that practically no study plan includes personal work in order to develop one's own resources, which will potentially constitute a powerful instrument of intervention, rarely considered. " According to the aforementioned, it should be noted that all the professions linked to aid, such as Social Work, are under constant pressure and tension regarding the working conditions in which professionals in the area operate (Rosthchild, 2010) .

The type of relationship (professional-person) being too close and with a high level of emotional stress; it constantly constitutes a risk to the mental health of professionals, added to the routine of work, institutional bureaucracy, low salary expectations and scarce spaces for self-care and personal development; end up being sufficient reasons to trigger empathy burnout, secondary traumatization or burnout syndrome (emotional burnout). Kadushin (2004) said that “machines do not need to believe in their work to do it well; they never feel depressed, guilty, or incompetent; they are not jealous or envious of the achievements of other machines and are not competitive. They don't need to be motivated to work hard. However, these kinds of feelings, and even more, determine the effectiveness of the social worker ”.

Kisnerman (1990) warned us long ago that we cannot do Social Work outward if we do not do it with ourselves first, which also applies to other helping disciplines. the job  Social must essentially do Social Work inward and outward, since social workers are not omnipotent beings; We are on earth and as such, we are the same as the people we work with and we may even have or have had similar problems. Bianchi (1994: 121-122) already told us that our profession is directed to the human person and their needs, so we have to favor a practice that not only interests the merely instrumental, but is directed to consider self-knowledge yourself, your own feelings, your own emotions, your own prejudices, your own personal responses to poverty, unemployment, illness, maladjustment, marginalization and the inability to cope with problems .

As a result of this framework, the practice of Clinical Social Work and other clinical disciplines, being advanced and complex, necessarily requires taking into consideration the person of the therapist to take care of himself. There is a theoretical wealth that arises from our discipline, and that authors such as Virginia Satir (1976; 1983; 2002) Harry Aponte (1986; 1997) and ultimately Michael White (1997) invite us to consider this topic in the central work of the therapeutic relationship. Our personal experiences, our narratives and biographical experiences are to a great extent a framework of meaning in which we guide our vision of the world, as well as our hopes, knowledge and knowledge that we deploy in the exercise of clinical praxis.
