Multicultural Supervision and Training of Treatment Providers
The symposium addresses issues pertinent to multicultural supervision and training of treatment providers within a culturally-sensitive paradigm. It centers a multicultural model that integrates justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) into the training and supervision of practitioners from different cultures. Further, it highlights the interplay of related variables—such as racial identity, gender, language, and power—in the interpersonal space of supervision and discusses how they affect supervisory experience and outcome, providing recommendations on how to optimize the process.
Dr. Ribeiro will address multicultural supervision in the context of group psychotherapy, underscoring how this modality has been slower to integrate JEDI into the supervision milieu than individually oriented therapy contexts. Drawing on her expertise in group psychotherapy and its supervision, she will highlight some key ways group therapy supervisors can engage their supervisees from a multicultural perspective and keep diversity central to their therapy practice.
Dr. Ziadeh will draw on his experience with multicultural training and supervision of treatment providers to uncover the power of language in the interpersonal space of supervisory work, highlighting how supervisors can optimize language and work more adaptively in cross-cultural contexts. Of special focus is the relational dimension of supervision, how it relates to language, and how to use language to modulate power. The discussion will also touch on cultural adaptation of interventions and how trainers/researchers can adapt their language to enhance cultural validity and practice in a culturally-sensitive way.
Dr. Nenemay will center her discussion on supervisee experience in the context of multicultural supervision. Drawing on her own experience as doctoral trainee in graduate school, she will explore the impact of racial and cultural similarities and differences on the supervisor-supervisee relationship. Additionally, she will analyze how gender may influence the supervisory dyad, providing reflections for both supervisors and supervisees to consider.
