International Counselor-in-Training (ICIT)s' Process of Navigating Group Supervision
Minna Yoo
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Idaho State University
Group supervision (GSV) is required in counseling programs accredited from Council for Accreditation of Counselor and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2016). Although widely used, the literature in group supervision focused on supervisee experiences is limited. In addition, the GSV experience of international counselor-in-trainings (ICIT) has not been explored. This present study will explore how ICITs navigate GSV using a qualitative method, Constructivist Grounded Theory design (Charmaz, 2014).Four counseling students who identify themselves as ICITs utilizing English as a second language participated in a total two rounds of interview and a member check. Findings presented a total of eight primary categories across three phases while experiencing a sense of loneliness. For phase 1, participants are conceptualizing GSV and experiencing barriers which continues to phase 2. In phase 2, categories are struggling with oneself, embracing oneself, fearing judgment, and enjoying the process. ICIT experiences different combinations of categories depending on the context, shifting and moving dynamically. The contexts that impact these processes are safety components, coping mechanisms, cultural differences, and support and advocacy from the group. For phase 3, categories are grieving closure and preparing next steps. These findings have important implications for counselor educators, for the counseling department, and for ICITs entering or currently in GSV of their counseling programs.
