Training and Clinical Supervision

Dr. Reiser’s current research interests include improving clinical supervision and training using an evidence-based supervision model. Although theoretically positioned at the heart of clinical training, empirical research on clinical supervision continues to be sadly neglected. Current accounts of supervision rely heavily on a psychotherapy-based model.

Dr. Reiser has been working with a British psychologist, Derek Milne, examining the effects of implementing an evidence-based supervision model in a series of pilot studies at the Kurt and Barbara Gronowski Clinic. Dr. Reiser has trained in the enhanced supervision model by having audiotapes of his weekly supervision rated on a process evaluation scale (SAGE) developed by Dr. Milne and receiving weekly feedback on improving the process of supervision.

The goal of our pilot study was to determine whether enhanced supervision could lead to improved training outcomes for students and clients. Using a longitudinal N=1 multiple baseline design, we compared supervision enhanced by consultation and feedback, a formal rating scale (SAGE) and use of evidence-based guidelines to standard CBT supervision. Results are currently being prepared for publication.

If you are interested in participating in our ongoing research on SAGE, an instrument designed to reliably observe supervisory behavior and learning outcomes within the supervision session, please contact me at rhcreiser@comcast.net. We are currently seeking clinical site partners to participate in our current study on the reliability and validity of SAGE.
