There are four elements of a supervisor’s philosophy that are especially pertinent to those who work with supervisees who treat military or veteran populations.

For this part of the assignment, you will develop a philosophy statement that documents ways in which your supervision may be shaped by the following:

  1. Important factors to consider for a therapist who serves:
  2. military families who live on base, are at diverse ranks, have experienced combat, have returned from deployment, and reside in civilian communities.
  3. veterans/former military who are treated through a VA clinic.
  4. individuals who are affiliated with a specific branch/reserve component.
  5. Knowledge of various methods of supervision (individual/group, live/audio/dead supervision, online-based) particularly within complex contexts (e.g., one partner is stationed at one part of the U.S. and their family lives elsewhere, or where one is deployed and the other is stateside).
  6. Ability to demonstrate ethical and legal components that pertain to the uniqueness of military and veteran contexts/rules/experiences (e.g., fit for duty, confidentiality [or lack thereof] between provider and unit command).
  7. Awareness of personal and professional values and belief systems that might impact your work with MFT supervisees who serve military and/or veteran populations.
  8. How you will attend to supervisees at risk for burnout and compassion fatigue.                                                                                                                         References for Part II                                                                                                                     Managing Ethical Challenges to Mental Health Research in Post-Conflict Settings
