“Desperate clients cannot be helped by desperate therapist” (Rothschild, 2002)

This quote is addresses the reality faced by front line workers working with clients presenting complex or multiple needs and history of trauma. Not only are they tasked with attending to their clinical needs but their roles extend into helping them to find solutions for the difficulties and scarcities of their day to day reality. In this seminar, Roxana will reflect on the role of clinical supervision in assisting the work of both the therapist and the front line worker. She draws on attachment theory and the ‘Triple Stance Framework (TSF)’ in her analysis, briefly outlining the clinical supervisor’s role within the Triple Stance Framework Model for Clinical Supervision.
