ASPPB Seeks Comments for New Guidelines on Supervising Psychologists
The Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) posted a draft set of Supervision Guidelines for Education and Training leading to Licensure as a Health Service Provider. They are seeking public comments until March 31 and can be submitted on ASPPB’s website.
The present Guidelines were revised in 2003. “Since that time much as been written about the process, methods and techniques of supervision thus leading us to once again review and revise the ASPPB Supervision Guidelines,” noted the authors.
The revision is for those psychologists in health service and other guidelines will be developed for general applied psychologists, and for supervision outside of the traditional realm, said the author.
The draft covers topics of ethics, supervisor competencies, supervision at different levels of training, supervision contracts, and specialty areas of supervision. The authors note that competence in supervision should include knowledge and skills, and also supervised experience, for providing supervision.
