LOCATING A PSYCHOTHERAPY SUPERVISOR: Last revised:  March 2010

LONG PSYCHODYNAMIC CASE:

1. First ask if your main supervising psychiatrist has experience and an interest in psychotherapy and could offer you this supervision. It does need to be in addition to your normal College supervision, however. Or ask whether a psychologist on the team could assist.

2. Contact the possible supervisors as listed below, to see if any can offer you supervision. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know them. Call or email them all, not just those you may have met already. Email addresses and phone no.s are readily available via intranet outlook and phone systems, for all 3 DHBs in Auckland. In Whangarei, talk to Gloria about local arrangements for psychotherapy supervision.

3. If none of these options works out, email Felicity to see if an external supervisor can be funded. Make sure that you explain that you have tried all of these options as above, when requesting this, as this saves time.

SHORTER CASES:

1. See if a team member such as a psychologist can offer supervision.

2. See if there is a supervision group running in your DHB where registrars can have joint supervision.

3. See if your main psychiatrist supervisor can manage a brief period of psychotherapy supervision.

4. Contact Felicity to check if there is a place in a CBT supervision group, as sometimes we have one of these running.

OTHER THERAPY MODALITIES:

Group Therapy:

In any run, see if any group therapy is happening and if so, find out if you could assist with this as a co-therapist. Generally your co-therapist will act as your supervisor. To meet College requirements, it does need to be some sort of psychotherapy – psycheducation groups don’t count.

Family/Marital Therapy:

Again, in some runs this may occur as part of treatment for someone you are seeing, so acting as a co-therapist alonside a team psychologist may be possible. May happen in CMHC or Child and Family runs. Some psychiatrists are also skilled in these areas and may be able to offer a period of supervision.
