Abstract
Videoconferencing-based supervision, or telesupervision, involves a trainee at one site securely videoconferencing (VC) with a supervisor at another site. For example, clinicians training in small communities may benefit from additional supervision reflecting different expertise and decreased likelihood of multiple relationships. In addition, trainees may seek training in very specialized areas in which there are only a handful of national experts. Others who live in remote areas where there is limited or not any access to clinical experts in specialty behavioral health areas may benefit from “teleconsultation” whereby professionals consult with colleagues at a distance to receive clinical and professional guidance. Furthermore, behavioral health clinicians, particularly those who work by themselves in private practice, can experience feelings of isolation and burnout. Supervision and consultation via VC can also help address these issues (R. J. Reese et al., 2009). This chapter discusses telesupervision. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
