Culturally responsive supervision assumes that culture permeates clinical practice and supervision. Culturally responsive supervisors promote the development of cultural competence in supervision, through modelling, reflective discussion and responsivity. Research has demonstrated that greater perceived cultural responsivity in supervision may result in greater satisfaction for supervisees, particularly those from racially or ethnically minoritised (REM) backgrounds. The current study explores supervisee perceptions of culturally responsive supervision and supervisory relationships between different supervisory dyads, comprising supervisees from REM and White backgrounds. This was a cross-sectional design incorporating a between-groups comparison. Trainee and qualified clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists and CBT therapists (n = 222) completed an online survey. Perceptions of cultural responsivity and the supervisory relationship were explored. Participants provided information about their supervisor’s race and ethnicity and their own, and were organised into four supervisory dyads. Participants from REM backgrounds in dyads with White supervisors perceived their supervision as significantly less culturally responsive, with significantly lower quality supervisory relationships. Greater perceived cultural responsivity in supervision significantly predicted better supervisory relationships (regardless of participant cultural background). Findings suggest that culturally responsive supervisory practices may play an important role in developing cultural competence and strengthening the supervisory relationship, particularly in cross-cultural supervisory dyads. Findings present important clinical and theoretical implications. Key learning aims (1) To understand the need for cultural responsivity within the context of clinical supervision. (2) To explore the differences between cross-cultural and culturally similar supervisory dyads in perceptions of cultural responsivity in supervision. (3) To explore the differences between cross-cultural and culturally similar supervisory dyads in perceptions of the quality of the supervisory relationship.

An AB single case design was implemented. The referred patient, Rosalind (pseudonym), completed several psychometric measures prior to the commencement of therapy (establishing a baseline), as well as during and at the end of therapy. Idiosyncratic measures were also implemented to capture changes during specific phases of treatment. The importance of the therapeutic alliance, particularly in engendering a sense of safety, was highlighted. Findings support the use of cognitive therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD) with an older adult, in the context of a coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19)-related ICU admission. This case is also illustrative of the effectiveness of implementing CT-PTSD in the context of co–morbid difficulties and diagnoses of delirium, depression, and complicated grief. Key learning aims (1) To recognise the therapeutic value of CT-PTSD in addressing PTSD following a COVID-19 admission, in the context of complicated grief and delirium. (2) To consider the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance when undertaking CT–PTSD. (3) To understand the intersection of complicated grief and delirium in the context of ICU trauma.

A total of 196 participants were recruited and randomly allocated to regular therapists' support or optional therapists' support groups. The primary outcome measure was the Recovery Experiences Questionnaire (REQ), developed to assess four components of stress recovery: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control.

Despite evidence that photographs aid communication and understanding, there is little research investigating photograph use within cognitive behavioural therapy. This project explores participant experiences of taking and sharing photographs within a dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)-informed emotional coping skills group intervention. Five service users were recruited from groups that had implemented the taking and sharing of photographs as a feature of homework tasks and feedback. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, using the photographs taken for the group as prompts, and interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to develop themes. Group evaluation data were used to support the analysis. Participants were positive about the impact of the photographs, despite initially experiencing anxieties regarding sharing them. The task supported them to express themselves in ways that added value to verbal feedback, which had benefits for group relationships and for the therapeutic tasks such as mindful observing. Further research is indicated, given the small sample and participants all being white, working-age females. However, the findings suggest that using photographs as homework tasks could support communication and the exploration of experiences that may be difficult to express using words. Key learning aims (1) Photographs may be an excellent tool for the communication of meaning and emotion in therapy. (2) Photographs taken on smartphones are likely to be a user-friendly, familiar and effective addition to homework recording tools. (3) Sharing photographs may have particular benefit for service users who struggle to be open about or express their feelings. (4) Photographs can provide a prop to help service users share experiences in a non-verbal way, which may help when working with people who struggle to describe their emotional experiences. (5) Sharing photographs can lead to a deeper connection with others, although some negotiation about what types of images can be captured will need agreement in a group setting.","PeriodicalId":10535,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Behaviour Therapy","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90819632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
