Workshop Description:
Art based supervision adds a useful component to supervisory work by adding image-based information and feedback to verbal discourse. The advent of Covid 19 has challenged therapists and supervisors to stretch old skills and embrace new ones. Distance work is a challenge for many of us. With masks and technology as helpful but challenging impediments to our interaction, we may turn to response art as a fully expressed form of communication. Just as images support clients as they investigate their issues and explore their choices, response art used in supervision, can help both supervisees and supervisors address countertransference, conceptualize treatment and clarify other interpersonal and systemic dynamics in treatment. Workshop participants will engage in creating response art and written reflections to explore and clarify their work as art therapists, supervisees and supervisors.
Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define response art as it is used in supervision.
2. Participants will be able to describe one way that response art can help clarify client dynamics.
3. Participants will be able to describe how response art can supplement verbal discourse when working at a distance.
