Abstract

Fifteen supervisors participated in a program designed to increase their teaching skills. After watching and discussing videotapes of highly rated supervisors, their own teaching styles changed. They became more active teachers: redirecting residents’ attention, focusing on patient material, talking about the technique of psychotherapy and theory of treatment, and commenting on the residents’ countertransference. The supervisors were enthusiastic about the experience, feeling that it strengthened their identity as educators and helped clarify the goals of supervision. Supervision is a job psychiatrists usually assume without any specialized training, and clinicians need help in making the transition from therapist to supervisor.
