He gathered important information, was very thorough on evaluating elements of danger (suicidality, etc) and was able to deepen his understanding of his clients by attending to non-verbal behaviors. During the interview, he kept a good balance between gathering information and developing a good clinical alliance with his clients. His evaluation reports were clear, concise, well-written and pertinent.
Intervention: Martin’s background included an extensive CBT training. His adaptation to a new school of thoughts and to a new set of clinical skills required some degree of flexibility at the beginning of his internship. He was excellent at basing his interventions on empirical and theoretical foundations. He displayed a good capacity to use intervention strategies adapted to his clients difficulties and needs.
Supervision: Martin was a valued member of our supervision team. His respect, empathy and warm capacity to provide meaningful feedback to his colleagues was remarkable. Martin was outstanding at identifying his strengths and weaknesses as a clinician in training. He was able throughout the year to discuss his point of view in front of the group while receiving and integrating feedback and learning from the supervisor and his teammates.
