Attachment in Reflective Supervision: Using a Relational Lens to Understand Supervisory Dynamics

This workshop will introduce a relational model of reflective supervision based on attachment theory using the Circle of Security as a model for understanding supervisory dynamics. We will briefly review attachment theory and the historical context of supervision and discuss the importance of ongoing supervision as a way to support frontline staff and mitigate the impact of secondary traumatic stress and burnout. We will consider the Supervisor’s Circle of Security and present a matrix model of supervisor—supervisee relationships, lending 16 possible attachment combinations for the dyad. Vignettes highlighting supervisory dynamics will offer opportunity for participant discussion.

The event is finished.
