Counseling Supervision Management in Companies Discussion

 

Dr. Allen has been supervising Tony, a master’s-level social work intern working part-time in a university counseling center. Dr. Allen, a professor in the social work program, teaches the Clinical Interventions Seminar in which Tony is a student. In today’s supervision session, Tony expresses dissatisfaction with the direction of the supervision of her work in the counseling center. Tony explains that she feels as though Dr. Allen simply tells her how to work with her clients without any discussion or input from her. To Tony, it seems like a one-way street. Tony believes she learns best through discussion and collaboration with a supervisor. Dr. Allen listens attentively but views Tony’s dissatisfaction as “resistance to supervision” and sees Tony as not being open to supervision. Dr. Allen decides not to change his approach with Tony.

If you were the supervisor, how might you receive and respond to Tony’s expression of dissatisfaction? What would you most want to say to Tony? As the supervisor, how would you proceed to resolve this situation? How could you do so in a manner that would be a learning experience for Tony?

Your answer should be 3-4 substantial paragraphs with at least five sentences per paragraph. APA format. No cover page. Single-spaced. At least one reference which can be the book. I will attach the book details after a tutor is chosen. This is for a graduate clinical mental health counseling major studying to be a therapist in the US. This is DIFFERENT than a psychiatrist or psychologist. Please write from this perspective!
