LOCATING A PSYCHOTHERAPY SUPERVISOR:    Last revised:  June 2017

 

LONG PSYCHODYNAMIC CASE:

1.      Contact the possible supervisors listed below, to see if any can offer you supervision. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know them. Call or email them all, not just those you may have met already. Email addresses and work phone no.s are readily available via the intranet, for all 3 DHBs in Auckland. In Whangarei, talk to Verity about local arrangements for psychotherapy supervision.

2.    Ask if your main supervising psychiatrist has experience and an interest in psychotherapy and could offer you this supervision. It does need to be in addition to your normal College supervision, however.

3.    Ask whether a psychologist on your team could assist. If they're not already aware of being accredited psychotherapy supervisors then drop Felicity an email to organise this.

3.      Or - if none of these options work out, email Felicity to see if an external supervisor can be funded. Make sure that you explain that you have tried all of these options as above, when requesting this, as this saves time.

NB: The Therapeutic Alliance EPA doesn't require actual psychotherapy cases as such, but is about the psychological dimension to all of your clinical work. So that one is achieved by supervision discussions and WBAs with your main supervisor, about psychological formulations and understanding these aspects of your clinical work in general – defences, dynamics, transference, counter-transference, etc.  Doing therapy for your Psychodynamic Written Case helps your understanding of these issues, but the PWC by itself can't be used to sign off the Therapeutic Alliance EPA.
