Competence in supervision is an elusive concept that can be difficult to define particularly because competence is not an ‘either-or’ characteristic. Competence exists on a continuum with maximum professional effectiveness at one end and gross negligence or incompetence at the other extreme. Generally speaking, however, competence as a supervisor is viewed as a quality that can be intentionally acquired through training, credentials and experience. In this workshop, we will touch on what is necessary to be considered a competent clinical supervisor while maintaining the appropriate behavioral techniques as part of the supervisory process.
