In Taiwan, the Psychologists Act was passed almost 20 years ago. According to the regulations, counseling psychology education must consist of core professional courses and 1-year full-time internship (Psychologist Act, 2020). This internship is a necessary component in which counselors-in-training integrate the knowledge acquired in their professional courses into counseling practice. As part of practical learning during the full-time internship, gaining supervision experience is essential. During the past decade, creative supervision of expressive arts such as puppet play, sandtray activities, and drawing has gradually developed and received increased attention. The creative activities in creative supervision involve interactive relationships among the supervisor, supervisee, and client. The symbolic and metaphoric communication in these relationships can be presented through creative works and can deepen the discussions between supervisor and supervisee. Creative works can assist the supervisee in expanding the vision of a client's inner world and in expressing their personal emotions. Creative approaches also support the supervisor in enhancing their supervisory working alliance and supervisory effectiveness. Sandtray therapy, developed by Lowenfeld (1979), creates a safe and protective space in which individuals can exercise control, lower their defenses, overcome resistance, set boundaries and limits, address interpersonal and intrapersonal problems, and express non-verbalized emotional concerns. With its nonverbal characteristics, sandtray therapy is beneficial in terms of both counseling and clinical supervision. The discrimination model of clinical supervision contains two dimensions that cover the foci of supervision and roles of the supervisor, all of which unite in a three-by-three matrix to form nine supervisory strategies. The foci of supervision comprise intervention, conceptualization, and personalization skills, and the roles of the supervisor comprise teacher, counselor, and consultant (Bernard, 1979; Bernard & Goodyear, 2019). |
