The authors propose the integrated supervision framework (ISF) as a second-generation supervision model which synthesizes the discrimination model and ecological theory as an integrative, ecological, culturally responsive, and concordant framework for clinical supervision. The ISF was developed to intentionally fill identified gaps in the practice and process of multicultural, social justice, and ecological supervision and to provide a framework to expand the current practice of clinical supervision based on the existing body of literature. In doing so, this article provides an overview of the multicultural, social justice, ecological, and intersectionality supervision literature and theoretical foundations, as well as an application and discussion of the ISF to underscore its enactment and future directions.
Public Significance StatementClinical supervision serves as the primary mechanism to support psychologists in developing cognitive; emotional; behavioural; multicultural; and social justice awareness, knowledge, skills, and actions related to their professional roles and responsibilities as mental health providers. Accordingly, this article provides the public with information on the training and supervision of psychologists from a multicultural and social justice lens to ensure they offer services that centre the needs of diverse persons and communities and disrupt social-cultural and societal barriers that impact a person's overall health and wellness.
This manuscript explores an interdisciplinary ecological framework to more effectively address LGBTQ interpersonal violence in schools. Specifically, authors utilize ecological systems theory, as well as social goals, to better understand points of intervention across contexts such as community, school, and Internet settings. An illustrative example is used to demonstrate how professional counselors, as well as related mental health and youth services professionals, can utilize social goals and ecological systems theory to intervene at different systemic levels and within their respective contexts. Implications for the interdisciplinary ecological framework are discussed, including cautions and areas for future research.
