Session 3: Playful Supervision Skills for All Levels…Basics and Beyond!Jenn Lefebre, PsyD, RPT-S

The role of the play therapy supervisor changes when supervising therapists at different developmental levels, frominterns or new therapists through thosewho have had extensive training and experience in play therapy.This 3-hour workshop provides training in understanding thedevelopmental process of the play therapist and anoverview of various supervisory models.We will review the broader nuances of the supervisory relationship includingthe work, process and ethical responsibilities for supervising those providing play therapy services. We will examine the supervisor’s role in assisting play therapists in developing insight into counter-transference, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue, as well as an understanding of the energy required to provide high quality play therapy services. Through this training, participants will learn practical strategies to be prepared to supervise a variety of circumstances that may emerge from the work required of professionals who offer play therapy on a regular basis.

Participants will be able to…

1.  Identify 2 developmental supervision models and how they apply to various levels of play therapists (interns through advanced).

2.  Explain the importance of the supervisory relationship with therapists providing play therapy services including appropriate boundaries, structure and regularity of supervision interaction.

3.  Enumerate the varying roles of supervisor including didactic and evaluative responsibilities in overseeing the therapists work with child clients and parents.

4.  Define vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue in order to differentiate among the ways these are exhibited in play therapy clinicians.

5.  Demonstrate at least 3 ways to address countertransference and burnout within your supervisees.
