Counseling self-efficacy, supervisory working alliance, and social influence in supervisionHumeidan, Majeda A. January 2002 (has links)
Counseling self-efficacy of supervisees is a significant outcome variable of counselor training. The Social Cognitive Model of Counselor Training (SCMCT; Larson, 1998a) provided a framework from which to examine the relationships of supervisory social influence in supervision, supervisory working alliance, and counseling self-efficacy. Supervisees' perceptions of their efficacy in counseling were assessed through the Counseling Self-Estimate Inventory (COSE; Larson, et al., 1992). The sum of the "client focus" and "rapport" subscales on the Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory--Trainee Version (SWAI-T; Efstation, Patton, & Kardash, 1990) represented a measure of the supervisory working alliance. Social influence of supervisors was operationalized by the composite score on three factors ("expertness," "attractiveness," and "trustworthiness") on the Supervisor Rating Form (the modified Counselor Rating Form--Short; Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983).Participants were 78 trainees of various experience levels at several counselor programs. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the following three hypotheses: 1) A strong working alliance would predict counseling self-efficacy of supervisees. 2) Perceptions of supervisors as high in social influence would contribute significantly to the criterion variable, counselor self-efficacy. 3) High social influence and a strong supervisory relationship, while controlling for experience level, would significantly predict a portion of the variance in counseling self-efficacy. The hypotheses were supported. Supervisory working alliance, experience level, and social influence contributed respectively, 22%, 13%, and 6% of the variance in counseling self-efficacy. In addition to its unique contribution, social influence enhanced the relationshipbetween counseling self-efficacy and the supervisory working alliance by acting as a suppressor variable.Exploratory analyses revealed that supervisees who perceived their supervisors to be high in social influence were more satisfied with supervision. A strong supervisory working alliance also correlated positively with satisfaction with supervision among trainees. Satisfaction with supervision, however, was not correlated with counseling self-efficacy. / Department of Educational Studies

Effectiveness of Group Supervision Versus Combined Group and Individual Supervision with Masters-Level Counselor TraineesRay, Dee C. (Deanne Castleberry) 08 1900 (has links)
This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of large group supervision, small group supervision, and combined group and individual supervision on counselor trainees. Specifically, instruments were used to measure the progress in counselor efficacy and counselor development. Analyses of Covariance revealed that all supervision formats produced similar progress in counselor effectiveness and counselor development. Large group supervision, small group supervision, and combined group and individual supervision appear to be equivalent in their effectiveness.

Effectiveness of a Child-Centered Self-Reflective Play Therapy Supervision ModelGiordano, Maria A. 05 1900 (has links)
This study investigated the effectiveness of a child-centered self-reflective play therapy supervision model with master's level counselor education graduate students. Specifically, this research determined if the self-reflective play therapy supervision model facilitated significant change in the master's level play therapists': (a) child-centered attitude; (b) knowledge of child-centered play therapy; and (c) confidence in applying play therapy skills. This study also measured change in the skills of: (d) tracking behavior, (e) reflecting content, (f) reflecting feelings, (g) facilitating decision-making and self-responsibility, (h) facilitating esteem-building and encouragement, (i) encouraging the child to lead, (j) setting limits, (k) ability to be congruent, (l) quality of non-verbal responses and (m) quality of verbal responses.
The experimental group students (N=15) utilized a 15 week self-reflective play therapy supervision model. This model consisted of a manual that reviewed the rationale and utilization of six therapeutic responses of child-centered play therapy, self-assessment forms that were completed after reviewing weekly play therapy session videos and weekly group supervision. The control group (N=15) received supervision during the 15 weeks but did not use the manual or the self-assessment forms. Prior to working with their first client and again at the end of the semester practicum, the play therapy supervisees completed the Play Therapy Attitude-Knowledge-Skills Survey. Each supervisee submitted a pre-tape and a post-tape of a play therapy session during their semester practicum. Four doctoral students rated play therapy session video tapes using the Play Therapy Skills Assessment form. The play therapy session video tapes were assessed by objective raters.
An independent t-test utilizing the gain score as the dependent variable revealed that play therapy supervisees in the experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in their ability to implement the skill of tracking behavior, facilitating decision-making and self-responsibility and facilitating esteem-building and encouragement. In addition, the experimental group supervisees showed a significant increase in the quality of their verbal responses and a marginally significant increase in their ability to reflect content and reflect feelings. Limited statistical significance in the play therapy supervisee's improvement of skills possibly could be attributed to the small sample size and lack of random assignment of participants to the experimental and control group.
The positive trends in the play therapy supervisees increased ability to implement play therapy skills warrants additional research of the self-reflective supervision model.

The effect of case conceptualization training on counselor competence and the influence of self-efficacyUnknown Date (has links)
This study investigated the extent to which formal training in developing effective
case conceptualizations increased counselor competence among participants compared to
those who were not exposed to the training. A total of 145 counselor trainees were
recruited from three South Florida Universities. Participants in both the treatment group
and comparison group received a brief lecture on case conceptualization, while those in
the treatment group were trained to develop effective case conceptualizations using an
integrative model. The brief lecture effectively reduced myths about case
conceptualization for both the treatment and comparison group participants (p < 0.001).
Oneway ANOVA results showed the effectiveness of the specific training (p < 0.001).
The treatment group had a significantly higher mean score (M = 44.12; SD = 9.84) than
the comparison group (M = 24.23; SD = 8.29). There was no significant difference in
participants’ CCEF pre-test scores, therefore, they were treated as a non-treatment group
and compared to the CCEF post-test scores of the comparison group and treatment group. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Study of the Relationship Between the Levels of Self-Awareness within Students Enrolled in Counseling Practicum and the Measurements of Their Counseling EffectivenessAbney, Paul C. 08 1900 (has links)
Counselor self-awareness is considered an important aspect of counseling effectiveness according to the American Counseling Association and the American Psychological Association and in numerous studies and articles within the counseling literature. With the effort to improve the effectiveness of counseling practicum students comes the need to understand the relationship between effectiveness ratings and the levels of counselor self-awareness. Gestalt Therapy literature, and the development of the Personal Orientation Inventory (Shostrom, 1963) provided the working definition of self-awareness in this study. Research and evaluation are means for improving the correlation between students' characteristics in counselor training programs and their effectiveness as perceived by faculty and doctoral supervisors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of practicum students' ages and their levels of self-awareness upon counseling effectiveness as measured by faculty and doctoral supervisors in a university clinic setting. Twenty-nine students who were enrolled in four practicum classes were administered the Personal Orientation Instrument. Four faculty supervisors and eight doctoral supervisors were administered the Counselor Effectiveness Rating Scale (Myrick & Kelley, 1971). The instruments were administered in the tenth week of the counseling practicum semester. Analyses of the data revealed a statistically significant interaction between the older practicum students' levels of self-awareness and their counselor effectiveness as rated by the more experienced faculty supervisors. Further analyses of the data revealed that there was a statistically significant main effect between the practicum students' age groups and their counselor effectiveness as rated by the less experienced doctoral supervisors.

A Comparison of the Cognitive Style Similarity and Communication Style Adjustment Index Methods to Study Counseling Supervision PerformanceSchanz, Anne 08 1900 (has links)
This study was designed to examine two questions. First, does increasing Myers-Briggs Type similarity correlate with improved performance by counselor supervisor/supervisee dyads? Second, is the Communication Style Adjustment Index superior to the cognitive style scale matching procedure as a method of quantifying MBTI similarity in dyads? Sixty-eight supervisor/supervisee dyads were recruited from University of North Texas Counselor Education Master's level practicum classes. Supervisee class rankings and supervisor performance ratings were correlated with the dyads' MBTI similarity as measured by the Communication Style Adjustment Index and the cognitive style matching procedure. While none of the hypotheses were supported it was noted that there was interaction approaching significance between dyadic similarity using the Communication Style Adjustment Index and supervisor performance ratings.

Perceptions of mental illness among HIV counselors in Uganda : a qualitative studyNakalawa, Lynda 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The HIV/AIDS pandemic has led to millions of deaths; disability for the sufferers and multiple socioeconomic
effects on HIV infected and affected individuals. Among the factors affecting people living
with HIV/AIDS that may contribute to HIV related disability is mental illness such as HIV related manias
and depression. ‘HIV counselors’ make up part of the team at the forefront of HIV treatment and
management in Uganda but little is known about their perceptions of mental illness. This study therefore
sought to explore the perceptions of mental illness among HIV counselors in Uganda. A qualitative study
was conducted. Ten individual interviews and three focus group discussions were carried out among 31
HIV counselors. They were selected from five HIV treatment centers in Kampala district, Uganda. An
interview guide based on Kleinman’s explanatory model of illness with case vignettes depicting
depression, alcohol abuse, mania, and psychosis were used to facilitate discussion. Data was thematically
analyzed. HIV counselors exhibited some knowledge concerning depression among HIV positive clients,
with some viewing the symptoms of depression as “understandable sadness” arising from the HIV client’s
psychosocial reality which is rife with poverty, stigma and lack of social support. Counselors also
reported that some of their client’s physical symptoms were a result of their emotional problems. Mania
and psychosis were attributed to religious beliefs and witchcraft; and in some cases disease progression or
HIV drugs. Chronic alcohol abuse, despite continuous counseling was seen as a waste of the counselor’s
time in face of overwhelming numbers of clients per day. Such clients, along with clients with suicidal
ideations were often threatened or ignored. Counselors agreed that they needed training on assessment of
mental illness, and how difficult cases could be referred. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die MIV/VIGS pandemie het al miljoene sterftes tot gevolg gehad; ook ongeskiktheid vir die lyers en
veelvuldige sosio-ekonomiese gevolge vir individue met MIV sowel as ander individue wat daardeur
geraak word. Van die faktore wat ‘n uitwerking op mense het wat leef met MIV/VIGS en wat kan bydra
tot HIV ongeskiktheid, is geestesversteurings soos HIV verwante manies en depressie. “MIV-voorligters”
is deel van ‘n span wat aan die voorpunt staan van die behandeling en bestuur van MIV in Uganda, maar
min is bekend oor hulle persepsies van geestesversteuring. In die onderhawige studie is MIV-voorligters
in Uganda se persepsies van geestesversteuring ondersoek. ‘n Kwalitatiewe studie is onderneem. Tien
individuele onderhoude en drie fokusgroepbesprekings is gedoen onder 31 MIV-voorligters. Hulle is
geselekteer uit vyf MIV-behandelingsentrums in die Kampala-distrik, Uganda. ‘n Onderhoudskedule
gebaseer op Kleinman se verklarende siektemodel, bestaande uit karakterskets-gevallestudies wat
depressie, alkoholmisbruik, manie en psigose uitbeeld, is gebruik om die besprekings te fasiliteer. Die
data is tematies ontleed. MIV-voorligters het getoon dat hulle in ‘n mate oor kennis beskik ten opsigte van
depressie by MIV-positiewe kliënte. Sommige voorligters het die simptome van depressie beskou as
“verstaanbare droewigheid” wat voortspruit uit die MIV-kliënt se psigososiale werklikheid, bestaande uit
armoede, stigma en ‘n gebrek aan sosiale ondersteuning. Voorligters het ook gerapporteer dat sommige
kliënte se fisiese simptome die gevolg is van emosionele probleme. Manie en psigose is toegeskryf aan
godsdienstige oortuigings and toordery; en in sommige gevalle aan progressie van die siekte of MIVmedisyne.
As gevolg van die feit dat voorligters daagliks oorlaai word met kliëntgetalle, is kliënte wat
kronies alkohol gebruik beskou as ‘n vermorsing van voorligters se tyd, ten spyte van voortdurende
voorligting. Sulke kliënte, tesame met kliënte wat selfmoordneigings getoon het, is dikwels gedreig of
geïgnoreer. Voorligters was dit eens dat hulle opleiding benodig in die assessering van geestessiekte
asook leiding oor hoe om moeilike gevalle te verwys.

The challenges of managing HIV/AIDS counsellors in a rural district in the Eastern Cape, South AfricaGerber, Barbara January 2003 (has links)
The pandemic of HIV/AIDS has challenged several aspects of contemporary social life. HIV/AIDS counselling has developed as a social response to provide support for those infected with the disease. Due to the nature and complexity of the disease, HIV/AIDS counsellors encounter a diversity and intensity of emotions when counselling. A support system that includes effective management and supervision may assist in resolving emotions and reactions that HIV/AIDS counsellors may experience as a result of working with HIV/AIDS clients. This study examines the difficulties that both managers and the HIV/AIDS counsellors at a rural district hospital in the Eastern Cape and its surrounding clinics are faced with, in providing the HIV/AIDS counsellors with the support they need. Engestrom's (1987) model of activity theory was used as a conceptual framework guiding both the analysis and interpretation of the data. This model facilitates the identification of tensions and contradictions thereby opening a space for change and transformation within an activity system. Multiple sources of data collection were used that included focus groups with managers and HIV/AIDS counsellors, interviews with senior hospital staff and an official from the Department of Health, Eastern Cape, and a tour of the rural district hospital. The findings suggest that HIV/AIDS counsellors do not feel supported by their managers. Managers in turn are of the opinion that they do not offer the support the HIV/AIDS counsellors' need. The lack of support is attributed to geographic distances between hospitals and the clinics they serve, lack of available transport and the multiplicity of roles of both managers and the HIV/AIDS counsellors.

The Effects of Multicultural Discussions and Supervisory Working Alliance on Multicultural Counseling CompetenceCarr, Jarice N. 12 1900 (has links)
This study examined the influence of multicultural training, multicultural discussions in supervision, and the supervisory working alliance on multicultural counseling competence. The sample consisted of 57 doctoral counseling interns, doctoral graduate students and post-doctoral students in counseling and clinical psychology. Participants completed several instruments including a demographic questionnaire, the Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory - Trainee, and the Multicultural Counseling Inventory. They filled out two questionnaires created for this study, one assessing multicultural discussions in supervision and another quantifying their multicultural training experience. Data analyses included multiple hierarchical regression, utilizing the Hayes PROCESS macro. Multicultural discussions in supervision moderated the relationship between the supervisory working alliance and multicultural counseling competence, but did not significantly moderate the relationship between multicultural training and multicultural counseling competence. Findings suggest that when multicultural discussions in supervision are positive, they significantly increases the strength of the relationship between good supervisory working alliance and multicultural counseling competence in psychology trainees. The findings may inform supervision practices and improve multicultural counseling competence in psychology graduate student trainees.

The role of supervision in the management of counsellor burnoutGachutha, Catherine Wanjiru 30 November 2006 (has links)
The study investigated the extent of burnout condition
among counsellors in Kenya. The sources of burnout were
explored and personality style was positively correlated
with burnout development. Impact of burnout on
counsellor wellness and productivity was also established.
It examined whether counsellor supervision was an
appropriate strategy in the management of counsellor
burnout.
The study utilized a pluralistic design that combined both
qualitative and quantitative methods (Howard, 1983). The
qualitative design permitted collection of rich data from
study subjects' experiential and perceptual fields. This
ensured study findings would be relevant and applicable to
specific counsellor situations.
The study population comprised 20 counsellors and 9
Kenya Counselling Association (KCA) accredited counsellor
supervisors. The counsellor sample was drawn from 2
Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) centres, 2 rehabilitation centres and 2 educational institutions. This
diverse population was a helpful representation in terms of
generalizability of the study.
Three data collection instruments utilized were:
Questionnaires, focus group discussions and in-depth
interviews. The study's validity and reliability were ensured
through the two sample populations (counsellor and
counsellor supervisors), test re-test and pre-test
procedures for questionnaires and in-depth interviews.
Tallying identified items checked content validity.
The study findings showed that burnout seriously affected
practitioner effectiveness and led to malpractice and client
harm. The study predictably established that supervision is
an appropriate strategy in the management of counsellor
burnout. The metaphor of motor vehicle maintenance was
utilized in the development of the Holistic Burnout
Supervision Model (HBSM) that focussed on wellness
maintenance of the counsellor in a lifecycle. HBSM
identified two levels in wellness maintenance: Preventative
(servicing) and curative (repair).
The study recommended that counselor - training
institutions should incorporate in their curriculum
burnout and supervision modules. This would create
awareness about burnout and appropriate prevention
strategies at counsellor formation stages. People care
agencies should also institutionalize the burnout
supervision facility in order to ensure counsellor resiliency
and vitality. / Psychology / D. Phil (Psychology)
