NURS 6650 Clinical Supervision Discussion
NURS 6650 Clinical Supervision Discussion
In Week 3,
you collaborated with colleagues as you participated in your first clinical
supervision. This week, you have the opportunity to continue your collaboration
as you reflect on and discuss your experiences with counseling children and
adolescents in group settings. Psychotherapy with these clients is often more
complex than psychotherapy with the general adult population. Personal
reflection and discussion with colleagues are essential to your development and
success as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. For this clinical
supervision, consider a child or adolescent client you are counseling who you
do not think is adequately progressing according to expected clinical outcomes.
