ABSTRACT
The supervision process in therapy provides an excellent opportunity for everyone involved to further that understanding, and to act based on what they learn. Group supervision is wonderful for this, as the debate about which treatment is likely to work best and why teaches everyone present that they need to be making thoughtful and defensible treatment decisions and that people's field remains a balance of science and informed judgment, they where culture and context cannot be separated from anything they do. The author describes the Exercise: 'Tasks of Culturally Competent', 'Evidence-Based Treatment Planning' as a written exercise for his classes, and as a verbal or presentation exercise in supervision, and in his experience it works fairly well in either setting. As a written exercise, it can get students into the habit of consulting the literature when making treatment decisions; as a presentation exercise in group supervision.
