Deliberate practice supervision: Analysis of supervisor’s perceptions of the model’s method and its attributes
| Resumo: | Deliberate practice is considered a promising method to increase the therapist’s effectiveness. Nevertheless, it’s verified a lack of research regarding its integration into clinical supervision (Brand et al., 2025). The goal of this study is to better comprehend this integration through the analysis of the perceptions of the supervisors trained in deliberate practice, considering their experiences and their erceptions of their supervisee’s experiences when working with this model. The supervisors (N=8) answered one semi-structured interview and one sociodemographic questionnaire, and the interviews were analyzed according to the constructivist perspective (Charmaz, 2014) of the qualitative method Grounded Theory. The analysis of the interviews generated four domains and 11 categories related to the adaptation to the model’s work method and its attributes: 1. The model’s efficacy and its comparisons create interest; 2. The model’s demands can be managed with discipline and collaboration; 3. The model’s rigid framework can originate hardships; 4. The model's principles foster professional development. The results indicate that, despite the model’s demands and the hardships experienced by the professionals in the psychotherapy field while training or working with it, deliberate practice supervision is effective and this work method promotes the development of skills of therapists and supervisors, corroborating research. |
