Strengths And Weaknesses of The Individualistic

Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Individualistic, Triadic, And Dyad Systems
Clinical supervision entails an evaluative relationship which is created by a senior clinical
practitioner to a junior practitioner. It involves the senior overseeing the quality of professional
services being offered by the junior. There are different types of supervisions. These include
individualistic, triadic and dyadic systems. Individualistic system is a supervision conducted on
one-on-one basis between the supervisor and the supervisee (Bernard, & Goodyear, 2019). In
this system, the supervisee and the supervisor can build camaraderie, and can be engaging. Since
it is face-to –face, the supervisor can communicate with the supervisee without any interference.
Also, the supervisee is able to get immediate feedback as well as offer new to challenges.
However, this supervision system has a low legal and reference value. Also, some supervisees
are nervous and poor communicators hence limitation. Triadic supervision on the other hand
entails one supervisor working simultaneously with two supervisees. In this system, the
supervisees take turns in giving feedback by assuming roles, the supervisors keep the supervisees
on task by attending to their dynamics and resistance to feedback is minimized. However, this
system only focuses on skill development. Dyad supervision system operates just like
individualistic although it involves one supervisor and two supervisees who take turns although
it’s supervised. This system creates emphasis on monitoring of practice, provision of mutual
support and affirmation and improvement of skills. However, this system must not be supervised
especially since there is orientation.
The system do you think would be most effective when applied to the clinical supervision
session in the On a Hamster Wheel media piece is individualistic. This is because the
communication is evaluative and there is immediate feedback.
