The competencies movement aimed at bringing greater accountability to the healthcare professions and to provide society with competent health service providers. Competency-based approaches to clinical supervision, including competency-based clinical supervision [1], [2] were developed to ensure the well-being of clients, facilitate the development of clinical competence, and protect the public. Although more than 6000 articles and books were published on clinical supervision from 2003-2021, relatively few explicitly focus on competence or competency-based approaches. And in practice, it appears that broad-based and systematic implementation of competency-based approaches has not been accomplished. The authors suggest that the failure to implement competency-based clinical supervision has significant consequences on mental health services. Effective, evidence-based services are critically needed given the increasing mental health acuity. The provision of evidence-based treatments requires the ’training-up’ of clinicians to establish competence in evidence-informed psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions. Developing competence would be best achieved through the use of competency-based approaches to training and clinical supervision. Barriers to implementation are discussed and a renewed call for implementation, including increased empirical research, is made.","PeriodicalId":263645,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Supervision in Psychotherapy","volume":" 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120830143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three themes emerged from the supervisors’ data: (1) systemic issues, acculturation, and power differential; (2) reciprocal learning and supervisory relationship; and (3) effective supervision strategies.

It is divided into four levels: identifying the problem; exploring and elaborating on what is learned; experimentation and consolidation; and solving the problem with the goal of the supervisee’s increased capacity to identify solutions and to embrace professional challenges. This article proposes that the core factors of psychotherapy supervision are accomplished through the incorporation of Erskine’s “Keyhole Model”, which spotlights the significance of eight relational needs; the importance of the psychotherapist’s inquiry, attunement, and involvement; the effective use of acknowledgement, validation, normalization and presence; as well as a necessary sensitivity to the client’s nascent affects, rhythm, style of cognition, and level of development.","PeriodicalId":263645,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Supervision in Psychotherapy","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121753493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Big problems are already looming upon us: AI, global warming, population ageing and chronic inflation, distrust in government, pandemic and so on. In such problematic times, psychologists and psychotherapists, psychiatrists as well – the new “soul-gurus” of our age – should be the first to interrogate themselves about how we can encounter the plethora of issues the new millennium has on offer. As such, what this paper is trying to show, is that psychology can be in the first line of a more general anthropological perspective to understand our existential struggle. Instead of always looking to others, i.e. our clients, we should firstly analyse our own life, our options and beliefs system, our existential philosophy, and the general direction of our actions. After that, and only after that exceptional and unusual turn-around, should we see if there is any place or time or enthusiasm left for therapy and psychological care for others. In other words, we should not forget the old saying: “medice, cura te ipsum!”, and start with that centripetal ego-centeredness and not the other way around. Focusing on one’s own issues, family problems, social or professional developments is to see if everything is in its right place. Only after that should we go out to the world and cure, or help to cure the problems of our fellow citizens. By doing that unconventional psychological and unusual anthropological reconveying under the strict observance of “self-Supervision” and “multiple-self InterVision”, psychologists and therapists will have at least a solid nuclear self and, additionally, an incontrovertible starting point in life. A starting point not diluted, or neglected, or permanently postponed by the luring others (clients for instance), with their endless difficulties, complicated issues or inexhaustible problems, constantly and relentlessly exerted on us?","PeriodicalId":263645,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Supervision in Psychotherapy","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114693951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the interest turns towards finding out what are the reasons standing at the basis of these situations in Romania.
