Resumo
Although American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines encourage clinical supervisors to integrate diversity into all aspects of practice and supervision, dominant models perpetuate hegemonic systems such as white Eurocentric imperialism and individualism, that foster a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, reimagining an anti-hegemonic approach to supervision that is focused on shifting power to the unique social locations of the supervisory triad is imperative. The present paper aims to offer readers an application of liberation praxis to supervisory relationships. Liberation psychology offers a guide to developing a supervision praxis through cultivating one’s critical consciousness of oppressive systems. In this paper, the authors propose a framework that (a) humanizes the wholeness of interlocking experiences of clients, supervisees, and supervisors; (b) invites collaboration through interrogation of power dynamics; and (c) engages in problematization (i.e., oppositional consciousness, deideologizing, and denaturalization) designed to recover historical memory, and revise dominant ideologies to match the lived experiences of minoritized groups, including the Global Majority. The authors aim to challenge existing supervisory models that perpetuate colonialism, and thereby advance practices that disrupt the traditional methods of psychotherapy training.
