Workshop Details

Workshop 1: Basic Unconscious Bias: Diversity/Multicultural Issues I, 3 CE

Presented by Rory Remer, Ph.D. and Pam Remer, Ph.D.
The supervision triatic relationship (supervisor, supervisee, client) is especially complex because of the multiple and interacting social identities and cultural contexts of the involved individuals. Yet, too often, the diversity and complexity of these relationships remain unexamined. Unconscious bias theory provides a useful vehicle for exploring the cultural identities present in supervision. The focus of this workshop is to raise awareness of the impact of unconscious bias and social identities on both the therapist-client/patient and supervisor-supervisee relationships. Action methods and experiential exercises will be used to explore challenges. This workshop is a prerequisite for the Advanced Supervision workshop to follow in the afternoon. While participants will receive 3 CE hours for attending the morning workshop only, they must attend both AM and PM sessions in order to receive Advanced Supervision credit to meet the requirement of KAR 26: 175. Skill Level:Basic/Intermediate.   

Workshop Objectives

  • Participants will increase their awareness of (be able to Identify and explore) personal and cultural unconscious biases
  • Participants will increase their awareness of (be able to Identify and explore) social locations and social identities
  • Participants will be able to state how unconscious bias and fast thinking functions are related
  • Participants will increase their awareness of how their unconscious biases and social identities impact their professional relationships and their psychological interventions, particularly in supervision and related to supervisory responsibilities.

Workshop 2: Advanced Supervision: Diversity/Multicultural Issues II, 3 CE

Presented by Rory Remer, Ph.D. and Pam Remer, Ph.D.
This Workshop is intended as an extension of the Basic Unconscious Bias I workshop.  Attendance at the morning session is REQUIRED for participation. The supervision triatic relationship (supervisor, supervisee, client) is especially complex because of the multiple and interacting social identities and cultural contexts of the involved individuals. Yet, too often, the diversity and complexity of these relationships remain unexamined. Unconscious bias theory provides a useful vehicle for exploring the cultural identities present in supervision and as a result of supervisory responsibilities beyond supervisor/supervisee interactions. Workshop focus is impact of unconscious bias and social identities on both the therapist-client/patient and supervisor-supervisee relationships, as well as institutionalized biases. Action methods and experiential exercises will be used to explore challenges and possible approaches to addressing them.  A commitment to more in-depth exploration is encouraged, if not expected.  A degree of discomfort may be attendant. The afternoon workshop meets the Advanced Supervision requirement of KAR 26:175Note: Basic Unconscious Bias I offered in the morning is a prerequisite for the afternoon course. Skill Level: Advanced.   

Workshop Objectives

  • Participants will increase their awareness of (be able to Identify and explore) personal and cultural unconscious biases

  • Participants will increase their awareness of how their unconscious biases and social identities impact their professional relationships and their psychological interventions
  • Participants will be able to connect and to experience how unconscious bias and fast thinking functions are related
  • Participants will able to identify supervision strategies for processing the effects of cultural contexts on supervision and client/patient issues
  • Participants will able to identify supervision strategies for helping supervisees to process the effects of cultural contexts on client/patient interactions
  • Participants will able to identify supervision strategies for helping supervisees to process the effects of cultural and institutional contexts on supervision
