Here is an interview that was featured in one of my favorite therapy related websites Psychotherapy.net. (Big thanks to Lawrence Rubin for the great conversation) Daryl Chow on Reigniting Clinical Supervision (you can also earn CE credits for this) And here are a series of articles that psychotherapy.net showcased on the topic of clinical supervision.

4. It's Time for Supervisors to Help Clinicians Marry Data with Intuition

The Scandal of Clinical Supervision
Supervision has been a life-force as well as a source of agony for me. I am a product of my mentors. I have nothing but deep gratitude for them. But I've also experienced and witnessed hurtful practices in supervision. Maybe that's why I spend a lot of time thinking, writing and teaching on this topic.
A 2014 study by colleagues found that that differences between clinical supervisiors explained less than 1% of the variance in client outcomes. Further, a replication study was conducted and had a similar finding. .
Said in another way, the current orthodoxy of supervision has little impact on improving our performance as therapists. As a field, we are really missing the boat in our pedagogy in clinical supervision. But don't take my word for it. Read the compelling evidence for by leading researchers in clinical supervision like Edward Watkins Jnr.
In the RCS course, I spell out a distinction between Coaching for Performance and Coaching for Development and why this "binocular vision" for both is needed in supervision. (See the course Visual Guide to get a sense of the journey ahead).
At this point, I invite you to take a step back and see what goes on in our professional development.
OUR PROGRESS
Figure 1. As time passes, our experience increases.
Clinical experience matters in common parlance. We say things like, "Go see Dr. Smith. He's really experienced."
Figure 2. As time passes, our confidence goes for a ride and matures
We paid our dues with all those years of grad school. The first few years after graduation is like a walk through the valleys of doubt. After some time, with more PDs and clinical supervision under our belt, whilsts working in the trenches of clinical practice, we feel a tinge of competency arising in us. Stay long enough past the 10-12 year mark, you’d hear a voice inside that says, “I think I can do this.”
Figure 3. As time passes, our outcomes goes no where No improvement.
Wait. What’s happening here? Our outcomes as psychotherapists do not improve over time? How can this be? Is there evidence of this? In 2016, Simon Goldberg and colleagues[1] studied 170 therapists who had seen 6591 clients. Given that this pool of therapists have been systematically using outcomes measures in their practice, the researchers detected that most therapists did not improve their outcomes with experience. We found a similar phenomena in our first Supershrinks study. Not only did experience fail to predict better performance, the more senior the practitioner, the more like he/she thinks she is more therapeutic in engagement. [2]
The late Paul Clement is a man before his time. He systematically documented—AND PUBLISHED 3 papers on it!—his outcomes in 45 years of private practice. What he found is sobering for our entire field. Nil improvement of client outcomes through the years of clinical practice.[3]
Synthesising the above findings, I propose we need to rethink how our professional development efforts. One of the key elements is to reignite our “signature pedagogy” of clinical supervision.

Here's what multi-talented Dr. Jeanette Spencer, medical practitioner, counsellor, and Qigong instructor from New Zealand has to say about Reigniting Clinical Supervision:
"Tools for improving our practice handed to us on a plate: I’m really enjoying and appreciating Daryl’s reigniting supervision course. His approach is friendly, clear, open and inviting. I’ve grown to look forward to his email in my inbox each Monday and Friday, not just for the content, but for the warmth Daryl brings to my day.
The drip feed process is really great, as I find there’s time to digest, and the small amount of content means it’s easy to fit into everyday life. Daryl’s explanations are very clear. He uses the research succinctly with lovely metaphors, making a clear case for what he's teaching. Although I was already using feedback informed therapy, the review was great. The taxonomy of deliberate practice is a fabulous piece of work, and the guidance on the best way to use it is priceless.
This is a great course as Daryl has the ability to make things clear and simple, as well as practical and relevant. It’s helped me get clear in my mind about effective and realistic ways to keep monitoring and improving my practice and client outcomes.It’s saved hours of my own research in this area, meaning I've been able to get straight into identifying the areas of my practice to work on that will make the biggest difference to client outcomes, as well as my enjoyment in my work. It's really great knowing that I'll be using my precious time in the wisest way I can! This is a highly cost-effective course, and Daryl's sincerity and natural personal style makes it a real pleasure to be part of."
Here's what one of the leading practitioners in our field has to say about the course:
~ Heidi Nygård-Michelsson
Project manager (for implementation of FIT) and ICCE Certified FIT trainer
Crisis Counsellor at Crisis Center for Youth, HelsinkiMissio
"Reigniting Clinical Supervision certainly delivers what it promises - a very welcomed spark that engages and motivates you further in your path towards professional development.
The course has helped me in a fascinating way. It has help me both see the bigger picture and at the same time become aware of the small parts of the process that leads to the big picture. This highly self-reflective and self-transforming drip-by-drip way of learning has provided me with continuous insights and an eagerness to transform my learnings straightaway into useable actions.
The powerful visualizations used in this course has tapped into my creativeness and a lot of new, unexpected ideas have emerged through that.
In our field there is so much you can improve, but the course has helped to narrow the focus down to the things that really matter to clients. The video material allows you to go back, rewind and refine your learnings and customize them in to different settings.
Daryl has a very welcoming, generous and personalized style as an instructor and provides you with motivating and thought awakening comments throughout the course. Daryl’s way of combining ideas and theories across different fields is brilliant and very inspiring.
I highly recommend the course to anyone interested and invested in professional development as a supervisor or self-supervision."
~ Bob Beckwith, Registered Psychotherapist, Canada
"No matter where you are in your journey as a therapist or supervisor, I found the online course Reigniting Clinical Supervision to be extraordinarily helpful.
It is full of practical and thought-provoking approaches brought forward in a measured way to improve a therapist's overall performance.
The course has improved my awareness
in a number of areas where I can grow and a plan for this future growth.
As there is so much useful and timeless information I will be revisiting Reigniting Supervision time and time again."
