Download or read book The Effects of an Equine Assisted Learning Supervision Intervention on Counselors in Training Performance Anxiety Counseling Self Efficacy and Supervisory Working Alliance written by Cheryl Meola and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the complexity of the counseling process, counselors-in-training often experience performance anxiety when entering the counseling profession. Research shows that higher counseling self-efficacy (the belief in oneself to perform counseling skills successfully) helps decrease performance anxiety. Further, a strong supervisory working alliance is the most effective intervention to increase counseling-self-efficacy. However, there are barriers to building a strong supervisory working alliance including high performance anxiety and low counseling self-efficacy as well as the dual nature of the supervisor's role as mentor and evaluator. This study introduces an equine assisted learning supervision intervention for counselors-in-training. This experiential learning intervention provides an opportunity for counselor self-exploration and growth in a non-evaluative, nonjudgmental, novel situation. The population of interest was counselors-in-training enrolled in CACREP counseling programs. The purposive sample included 20 students enrolled in a theories counseling course or a practicum skills course. The study used a quasi-experimental design where participants completed a Demographic Questionnaire, the Counseling Self-Estimate Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Supervisory Working Alliance-Trainee Form. Participants were randomly selected to be in a treatment group, which received a one hour individual equine assisted learning supervision intervention or in the control group, which received class as usual. Six research questions examined the main effect of the EAL-S intervention on counseling self-efficacy, the main effect of the EAL-S intervention on performance anxiety, the relationship between counseling self-efficacy and performance anxiety, the correlation of the quality of supervisory working alliance with counseling self-efficacy, the correlation of the quality of the supervisory working alliance with performance anxiety, and the correlation of the supervisory working alliance with the effectiveness of the EAL-S intervention. A split-plot MANOVA was performed to analyze the first two questions and revealed a significant main effect of the EAL-S intervention on counseling self-efficacy. Non-significance was found in the main effect of the EAL-S intervention on performance anxiety. Pearson Product Moment Correlations were performed for the remaining questions. A significant positive correlation was found between counseling self-efficacy and performance anxiety. No significance was found in the correlation of the quality of the supervisory working alliance with counseling self-efficacy, performance anxiety, or the effectiveness of the EAL-S intervention. Findings support that a one hour EAL-S intervention can improve counselors'-in-training counseling self-efficacy and improve their tolerance for performance anxiety. These results have implications for counselors-in-training, supervisors, and counselor educators.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As higher education continues to integrate technology as a learning platform so has the counselor education field (Carlisle et al., 2017). This study examined how time spent in technology-assisted supervision influenced counselor supervisor self-efficacy, the supervisory working alliance, and supervisee performance in supervision using Social Cognitive Theory (SCT; Bandura, 1986) as the theoretical framework for the study. Participants in the study were 40 counselor supervisors who were either counselor educators or doctoral students in counselor education and provided weekly supervision to master's level counselors in training enrolled in either a practicum or internship course. Data were collected by an online survey consisting of a demographic form and three instruments (i.e., Counselor Supervisor Self-Efficacy Scale, Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory, and Counselor Evaluation Rating Scale). Supervisors were encouraged to complete instruments on more than one supervisee; a total of 57 sets of instruments were completed and used for the analysis. The results of the simple linear regression for each of the research questions found no statistical significance of time-spent in technology-assisted supervision predicting counselor supervisor self-efficacy, the supervisory working alliance, or supervisee performance in supervision. The implications of these findings, limitations of this study, and recommendations for future research and practice are described.
Download or read book Counselor Self efficacy written by Mark G. Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counselor self-efficacy (CSE) refers to counselors' beliefs about their ability to perform counseling-related behaviors or to negotiate particular clinical situations. This is a relatively new field of study in which there are some promising results. However, several researchers have called for further investigation of the sources of CSE and how CSE impacts counselor performance. This research examined the relationship between elements of supervision and CSE, the relationship between CSE and counselor performance from the supervisor's perspective, and the mediation by CSE of the relationship between elements of supervision and counselor performance. Fifty-eight supervisor-supervisee dyads participated in this study. Supervisees completed the following measures of elements of supervision and CSE: the Supervisory Styles Inventory (SSI; Friedlander & Ward, 1984); the Evaluation Process Within Supervision Inventory (EPSI; Lehrman-Waterman & Ladany, 2001); the Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity Inventory (RCRAI; Olk & Friedlander, 1992); the Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory (SWAI; Efstation, Patton, & Kardash, 1990); and the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (CASES; Lent, Hill, & Hoffman, 2003). To measure counselor performance, supervisors completed the Counselor Evaluation Rating Scales (CERS; Myrick & Kelly, 1971). Results indicated that elements of supervision were predictive of CSE with the supervisory working alliance as the most important predictor. The Attractive and Interpersonally Sensitive supervision styles were positively related to CSE as well. CSE was positively related to counselor performance from the supervisor's perspective, and there was partial support for the hypothesized mediation by CSE of the relationships between elements of supervision and counselor performance. Limitations, directions for future research, and implications are discussed.

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Counselor Level of Anxiety Counselor Self efficacy and the Establishment of the Therapeutic Working Alliance for Counselors in training written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research study was to understand the counselor characteristics of counselor-in-training (CIT) level of anxiety and counselor self-efficacy (CSE) in regard to the establishment of the therapeutic working alliance. Research has repeatedly found that the therapeutic working alliance is the golden thread throughout therapy that leads to successful positive outcomes. However, the effects of CIT level of anxiety and CSE have yet to be examined in the development of the therapeutic working alliance. The current study utilized a non-experimental, quantitative design to explore the relationship between CIT level of anxiety, CSE and the therapeutic working alliance. The results found no significant relationships between CIT level of anxiety, CSE, and the therapeutic working alliance. The clinical implications, limitations and future research recommendations for counselor educators and supervisors are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study explored the construct of mindfulness within the context of clinical supervision. A review of the relevant literature revealed common elements between higher levels of mindfulness and effective supervision, such as strong working alliance and supervisory relationships, counselor self-efficacy, decreased levels of anxiety, the ability to sustain attention, and empathy (Daniels & Larson, 2001; Friedlander, Keller, Peca-Baker, & Olk, 1986; Germer, Siegel, & Fulton, 2005; Greason & Cashwell, 2009; Greason & Welfare, 2010, in press; Ladany, Ellis, & Friedlander, 1999). Both point to similar constructs that improve counselor development, counselor performance, and positive client outcomes. However, there are two distinct bodies of literature from the areas of mindfulness research and clinical supervision research, and this study aimed to bridge these two fields, and explored the relationship between mindfulness and relevant supervision variables. A sample of 72 supervisor-supervisee dyads completed the study. Participants were drawn from 16 CACREP accredited universities throughout the United States. University supervisors were either faculty members or doctoral students and supervisees were master's students completing their practicum or internship. The research questions and corresponding hypotheses were primarily analyzed using multiple, multivariate regression analysis. Dyadic data were collected and analyzed by matching data from pairs of supervisors and supervisees. First, results indicated that the supervisors' level of mindfulness was a significant, positive predictor of supervisor perceptions of the supervisory relationship (facilitative conditions and working alliance) and session depth. Supervisor mindfulness had no impact on supervisee perceptions of these supervision variables. The supervisees' level of mindfulness was not significantly related to any supervision variables. Second, the supervisees' level of mindfulness was significantly, positively related to the supervisees' self-efficacy. Third, the supervisors' level of mindfulness had no relationship with the supervision focus. This study provided an initial, exploratory view of the role of mindfulness within clinical supervision. The results serve as a starting point to direct future research questions and gain a more in-depth understanding of the relationship among these constructs. Finally, results support the inclusion of mindfulness training in counselor education and provide information about supervisor characteristics for effective clinical supervision."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
Download or read book The Association Between Supervisory Alliance Counterproductive Events During Psychotherapy Supervision and Trainee Self Efficacy written by Holly E. Kirk and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The supervisory alliance between psychology trainee and clinical supervisor plays an important role in the growth and development of the psychologist in training. There are numerous factors that relate to the supervisory alliance. Previous research has indicated that both positive and negative supervision experiences occur during supervision and they act to influence the supervisory working alliance. A counterproductive event is an example of a negative supervision event in which the trainee perceives that an experience in supervision either harmed or hindered his or her growth and development as a therapist. Because counterproductive events regularly happen during a supervision experience, it is important to investigate how the strength of the supervisory alliance relates to counterproductive events. In addition it is important to investigate how the counterproductive event and state of the working alliance relate to the self-efficacy of the trainee. The current study investigated whether counterproductive events that occurred in clinical supervision related to the supervisory working alliance as perceived by the trainee. Additionally the study explored whether there was a relationship between the supervisory working alliance, the presence of counterproductive events, and the trainee's level of self-efficacy. This study utilized a quantitative research design and also included a larger sample than the qualitative research designs used in previous research.

Download or read book School Counselor Clinical Supervision written by Tracy Peed and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the challenging nature of the school counseling profession, it is vitally important for school counselors to have clinical supervision, from a school counselor who is trained in clinical supervision throughout their internship and as a practicing professional. The purpose of this quantitative study (N = 220) was to explore how clinical supervision training and professional years of experience in the field are related to site supervisor self-efficacy and professional identity. The aim was to better understand how all these factors, seemingly important in some capacity to engagement in clinical supervision training and serving as a site supervisor conducting clinical supervision, intersect. Furthermore, the research has uncovered levels of training where supervisor self-efficacy and professional identity are at their peak. Finally, this study sought examined the optimal combination of factors to produce adequately trained, professionally confident, and engaged school counselor clinical supervisors. Data was gathered from 220 respondents who met the criteria for study participation, a school counselor who has supervised at least one internship student. Detailed demographic information of the sample, as well as the results of two full inventories a) the Site Supervisor Self-Efficacy Survey (S4) (Dekruyf, 2007) and b) the Professional Identity Scale in Counseling (PISC) (Woo, 2013), serve to answer the research questions posed for this study. Lastly, basic psychometric analysis for score reliability (i.e., internal consistency) via Cronbach's Alpha for the S4 and PISC are provided. Three key research questions were addressed via MANOVA analysis (a) Does a linear relationship exist between professional identity and supervisor self-efficacy (b) When looking at school counselor site supervisors scores on the PISC (professional identity) and the S4 (self-efficacy) what, if any, significant mean differences exist across training hour levels and professional experience levels (c) If mean differences do exist, at what levels will there be an interaction effect, bringing to light the optimal combination or combinations of supervision training and professional years of experience. It was found that a linear relationship does exist between the dependent variable of self-efficacy and professional identity. In addition, respondents with higher levels of supervision training (16-50 Hours or 51+ Hours) and/or more professional years of experience were found to have higher site supervisor self-efficacy and professional identity scores than their counterparts with no (0 Hours) or little (1--5 Hours) training.

Download or read book Counselor Supervisor Development and Self efficacy written by Susan L. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The counseling and mental health professions rely on the clinical supervisor to train new counselors in the requisite clinical and professional skills necessary to promote the welfare of the client, the ultimate consumer of counseling services. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence about what influences a clinical supervisor's competence. Supervisor competence for this study is defined as a supervisor's level of development and perceived self-efficacy. This study investigates the relationship between different types of supervision-specific education, training, and experience, and a supervisor's level of development (i.e. role integration) and self-efficacy (i.e., mastery in performing the tasks of supervision). Using non-probability sampling, data were collected through a nationally distributed, on-line, web-based survey. Members of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Counselor Education and Supervision List-serve (CESNET) were solicited via randomly selected e-mail addresses. Clinical supervisors (N = 298) from academic and non-academic work environments completed a 63 item Clinical Supervisor Survey, which included a 17 item Psychotherapy Supervisor Development Scale (PSDS; Watkins et al., 1995), 18 items selected from the Counselor Supervisor Self-Efficacy Scale (CSSES; Barnes, 2002), and 28 demographic questions. Correlation, independent t -test, ANOVA, and regression analyses were used to determine which factors influenced a clinical supervisor's level of development and self-efficacy. Results found that: (a) the years of supervision practice, (b) the availability of helpful supervision in a supervisor's development as a counselor/therapist, (c) supervision-specific education, workshops or seminars, and (d) the more recent the exposure, or relative frequency of this additional education and training, significantly predicted (p
