Supervision of neuropsychology trainees: Incorporating reflective practice

A Psychology Board of Australia Approved Masterclass

Thursday, 12th September 2024

While many supervisor competencies will be common across specialities of psychology there is a recognition that areas of speciality such as neuropsychology require specific training for supervisors to support the greater focus on assessment, report writing, differential diagnosis, assessment feedback and brief interventions.

This workshop aims to provide specialist knowledge and skills to supervisors of neuropsychology trainees and will focus on a range of supervisor competencies with relevance to the neuropsychology setting. The workshop will have an emphasis on reflective practice and how this can benefit your supervisory approach. There will be regular opportunities for group discussion and practical tasks. Focus is given to the supervision of neuropsychologist trainees, however, the training may also be relevant to the supervision of qualified neuropsychologists or psychologists in other disciplines that have an emphasis on assessment.

The aims of this masterclass are to enhance:

• Knowledge of reflective practice as an essential professional competency for psychologists.
• Knowledge of reflective practice models and methods.
• kills and confidence in using reflective practice in your supervision and encouraging reflective skills in supervisees.
• Engagement with and learning from other supervisors
