“…Clinical supervision can provide a new sense of clarity or a different point of view, while at the same time allowing for the identification of "blind spots," areas unrecognized by the trainee as requiring additional focus (Littrell et al 1979;Weil 2000). The use of live (in the room) supervision is well documented in the literature, and there has been specific attention given to the student and supervisor perspective on this experience (Champe and Kleist 2003). This type of interaction appears to enhance the trainee's skills, contribute to their professional development, increase their confidence and competence, and provide personal support (Hendrickson et al 2002).…”

Peer observation, while often used in other professions, has not been formally applied in genetic counseling. The objective of this study was to pilot a method of peer evaluation whereby genetic counselors observed, and were observed by, each other during patient interaction. All of the available genetic counselors participated in both rounds of the pilot study (six in round one, seven in round two). The genetic counselors that observed the session used an observation room. Most participants reported learning a new skill. Sensitivity to, and comfort with, the feedback process improved. We conclude that Peer-Observed Interaction and Structured Evaluation (POISE) provides an opportunity to refresh counseling approaches and develop feedback skills without causing undue team discord. This new approach to peer supervision in genetic counselling offers a live observation approach for genetic counsellor supervision.

“…Understanding the various techniques available is critical to assessing how they ultimately impact the training of students. Live supervision is the most common supervision technique utilized in training medical professionals and has been in existence for over 50 years (Champe and Kleist 2003). Live supervision is also used to train professionals in clinical settings such as genetic counseling, marriage and family therapy, counseling, social work, psychology, psychiatry, and other specialties in the mental health field (Champe and Kleist 2003).…”

Live supervision is also used to train professionals in clinical settings such as genetic counseling, marriage and family therapy, counseling, social work, psychology, psychiatry, and other specialties in the mental health field (Champe and Kleist 2003). Live supervision can be defined in various ways including co-counseling or co-therapy, supervisor present in the session but remains silent, and remote observation (Hendrickson et al 2002;Marini and Stebnicki 2009;Smith 2009).…”

“…Although live supervision is one of the techniques most frequently used in the counseling fields it is not very well understood (Champe and Kleist 2003). One of the biggest limitations of its use is the amount of time required and the heavy workload necessary to provide live supervision (Bubenzer and West 1991;Romans et al 1995).…”

Clinical supervision is an essential element in training genetic counselors. Although live supervision has been identified as the most common supervision technique utilized in genetic counseling, there is limited information on factors influencing its use as well as the use of other techniques. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers supervisors face when implementing supervision techniques. All participants (N = 141) reported utilizing co-counseling. This was most used with novice students (96.1%) and intermediate students (93.7%). Other commonly used techniques included live supervision where the supervisor is silent during session (98.6%) which was used most frequently with advanced students (94.0%), and student self-report (64.7%) used most often with advanced students (61.2%). Though no barrier to these commonly used techniques was identified by a majority of participants, the most frequently reported barriers included time and concern about patient's welfare. The remaining supervision techniques (live remote observation, video, and audio recording) were each used by less than 10% of participants. Barriers that significantly influenced use of these techniques included lack of facilities/equipment and concern about patient reactions to technique. Understanding barriers to implementation of supervisory techniques may allow students to be efficiently trained in the future by reducing supervisor burnout and increasing the diversity of techniques used.

“…They also found that greater perceived helpfulness and less perceived intrusiveness of live supervision predicted clients' overall satisfaction with the therapy received. Champe and Kleist (2003) have issued a call for research on the experiences of clients who participate in live supervision. While there is some literature on the experience of trainees receiving live supervision (Mauzey and Erdman, 1997;Moorehouse and Carr, 2001;Wark, 1995;Wong, 1997), few studies exist that have empirically studied the client's experience of therapy with a therapist trainee receiving live supervision (Locke and McCollum, 2001;Piercy et al, 1986).…”

Despite the wide use of live supervision in marriage and family therapy training, there have been no randomized trials comparing different variations of the practice. This randomized trial of 86 clients was designed to measure client satisfaction after an initial therapy session under two conditions: meeting the supervision team behind the observation mirror or not meeting the team. A mixed linear model analysis of covariance was used to examine the relationship between ‘meeting the team’ versus ‘not meeting the team’ and client satisfaction. There were no statistically significant differences in client satisfaction based on whether clients met the team or not. There was a trend toward greater satisfaction with the therapy session among clients who did not meet the supervision team.
