ABSTRACT
Supervision is vital to the delivery of effective CBT. Whilst experiential supervisory methods are recommended in many texts, they are seldom utilised in clinical practice. Drawing upon the declarative-procedural-reflective model of therapist development (Bennett-Levy, 2006), this chapter describes how chairwork can be applied to key supervisory issues including technical competence, treatment fidelity, reflective practice, overcoming therapeutic impasses, and the resolution of difficult feelings towards clients (‘counter-transference’). A framework for implementing technical skills training which incorporates experiential methods is also presented (I-MARCHED).
