Abstract
Video recording is an established element of psychotherapy supervision. The American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (1) underscored its importance by stating, in each set of its psychotherapy guidelines, "The resident will be open to audio or videotapes or direct observations of treatment sessions." Abbas (2) described the use of video for teaching small groups and elaborated on the benefits to participants from observing the treatment. With video supervision, the resident and supervisor usually see and discuss the first few minutes of a recorded, recent psychotherapy session, then fast-forward to later segments. The novice therapist may fail to select the portion of a session for which supervisory help is most needed, so it may be chance that determines what is reviewed and what is overlooked. The teacher-supervisor does not know what he or she will see in a supervisory session. Like psychotherapy, video supervision is an unrehearsed performance. In musicians education, the "master class" is a single event or series of events without the supervisor-supervisee relationship. Students perform before an audience that includes an expert—a "master" singer or instrumentalist—who then offers detailed, specific instruction for improving the performance. It is unrehearsed for both student and teacher.If you're having problem loading pages
