The "Art" of Assessment in Group Supervision

Marlene Estenson, David Brown

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Assessing a student's developmental stage and determining how their clinical work is impacting the trainee personally, are important skills for supervisors and educators to master. This presentation provided the major research findings of an art activity utilized in group supervision. Artifacts were shared, demonstrating the symbolic expression of stress levels, how trainees at different developmental stages experienced supervision, and illustrated some ways that students process their field experience. By sharing the art in group supervision, members reported a deeper level of self-awareness and group cohesiveness. Discussion was encouraged, and experiential opportunities were provided.
