This on-demand professional training program on Supervision of Forensic Psychological Evaluations Part 2: Practical Applications is presented by A.J McConnell, PsyD, and Amanda Conn, PsyD in partnership with the American Academy of Forensic Psychology (AAFP).
This program is intended to be a sequel to the previous AAFP presentation - Supervision of Forensic Psychological Evaluations, which provides more practical guidance to help supervisors build competency in supervision skills. It is strongly encouraged that participants complete part 1, Supervision of Forensic Psychological Evaluations prior to registering for this program.
Supervision is an essential task for psychologists to ensure the professional standards of practice are maintained in forensic settings. While there are books and articles discussing various supervision models and conceptual guidelines regarding supervision in forensic settings, there is little information available regarding the practical applications of such models and guidelines in forensic supervision.
This program targets forensic psychologists at all career levels who are responsible for supervising practicum students, predoctoral interns, post-doctoral fellows, and others. These psychologists are expected to have a basic understanding of the conceptual underpinnings of supervision (e.g., supervision models).
