Supervision

Weekly individual supervision with experienced faculty is fundamental to the PPTP training experience.  Each trainee completes at least eighteen months of supervision and, over time, presents at least two patients.  At least one year of supervision is devoted to the same patient.  All supervision focuses on work with patients who are attending psychotherapy at least once per week, and at least six months of supervision are focusesd on a patient attending more often than once per week.

Supervisiors are chosen from the PPTP faculty, which includes clinicians throughout the Bay Area and the Sacramento and Davis areas.  Supervision occurs in supervisors' private offices.  Supervision fees are separate from tuition and are determined on a case-by-case basis in response to each trainee's ability to pay.
