Which of the following is a LIMITATION of group supervision compared to individual supervision?
Answer: Less individualized attention and potential for group members to learn from each other's errors without correction
A key limitation of group supervision is that each supervisee receives less individualized attention, and there is a risk of modeling errors if the supervisor does not address all supervisee work.
The 'reflecting team' technique in group supervision involves:
Answer: One supervisee presenting while others observe and then provide structured reflections without interruption
The reflecting team approach structures group feedback so that the presenter listens while others reflect, creating a non-defensive, open learning environment.
In group supervision, informed consent should include:
Answer: The purpose and format of the group, confidentiality limits, and how case information will be handled
Group supervision informed consent must address the group's purpose, format, confidentiality expectations, and how client information shared in the group will be protected.
A supervisee becomes tearful in group supervision while presenting a case involving child abuse, saying it reminds them of their own history. The supervisor's IMMEDIATE response should be to:
Answer: Acknowledge the supervisee's reaction with empathy, briefly pause the group process, and address it appropriately
The supervisor should respond with empathy, acknowledge the supervisee's experience, and manage the group process thoughtfully without ignoring or exploiting the moment.
Which of the following group supervision norms MOST directly protects client confidentiality?
Answer: Presenting cases with identifying information removed or de-identified
De-identifying case information before group presentation protects client confidentiality while still allowing meaningful clinical discussion.
Peer supervision groups, unlike ACS-led supervision groups, are MOST appropriate for:
Answer: Fully licensed professionals engaging in collegial consultation and continued professional development
Peer supervision is appropriate for licensed professionals as a form of ongoing consultation; it does not fulfill pre-licensure supervision requirements.
