• The corrective emotional experience (CEE) has been found to be a key change agent in psychotherapy (Castonguay & Hill, 2012). Is the same true for supervision? This study examines the occurrence and correlates of corrective experiences in psychotherapy supervision through observation of 11 videotaped supervision sessions with expert supervisors using various supervision models (American Psychological Association’s Clinical Supervision Essentials series DVDs). Each minute of the videotaped sessions was coded using adapted versions (for both supervisor and supervisee) of the Narrative Emotion Process Coding System (NEPCS; Angus et al., 2017), which has been used to detect CEEs in psychotherapy sessions. In addition, subjective experiences of CEEs were collected by self-report data from all 11 supervisees. Analyses indicate that CEEs are significant learning events that occur across different approaches to supervision, and that trainees can reliably distinguish between CEEs and educationally corrective experiences (Watkins, 2018). Results also indicate that trainee-identified CEEs parallel the CEEs identified by the NEPCS markers. Supervisees reported that their CEEs led to profound shifts in understanding of themselves as therapists, their relationship to clients, and expanded clinical consciousness. Implications of patterns that emerged in coding the 11 supervision sessions with the adapted NEPCS and the supervisees’ reflections are discussed. The findings provide promising empirical evidence of transformative learning experiences in supervision. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
