ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way feminist clinical supervisors provide supervision to family therapist trainees. This study explored the experiences of feminist family therapy supervisors who engaged in supervision remotely or had transitioned to virtual supervision. Using thematic analysis, four themes emerged from analysis of eight supervisors’ answers to an online survey: using technology as a collaborative medium, self-of-the-supervisor process, intentional supervisory relationship, and supervisor responsibilities. In telling their stories, the supervisors described how they pivoted to support therapists, attended to parallel processes, and adjusted their own supervision techniques to maintain their feminist focus. The authors discuss implications of supervision adjustments and offer suggestions and considerations for remote feminist supervision and recommendations for future research.

摘要

COVID-19 大流行改变了女权主义临床监督员向家庭治疗师实习生提供监督的方式。本研究探讨了从事远程监督或已过渡到虚拟监督的女权主义家庭治疗监督员的经历。使用主题分析，从八位主管对在线调查的回答的分析中得出四个主题：使用技术作为协作媒介、自我监督过程、有意的监督关系和监督责任。在讲述他们的故事时，监督者描述了他们如何转向支持治疗师，参与平行过程，并调整自己的监督技巧以保持对女权主义的关注。
