Abstract
This paper discusses the correlation that is seen between the cultural competency that a clinical supervisor has and his or her understanding of racial and ethnic differences and issues. The paper further discusses how this racial and ethnic understanding is vital today in many businesses and occupations, due to the globalization that is taking place throughout the world.

From the Paper
"Interestingly, the study found that Japanese-Americans enumerated themselves as being bicultural, and an acculturation scale found that they saw counselors as being a more interesting and attractive source of help then did those Japanese-Americans who rated themselves in the high acculturation range. In other words, Japanese-Americans that have retained more of their Japanese heritage were more likely to seek out a supervisor 'like them' than those who found themselves to be what they would consider completely "Americanized." When this information is examined in light of other studies, there is a suggestion that acculturation may not have a direct relationship with the attitude of a supervisee toward their supervisor, even though this theory has been in the psychological and psychiatric communities for quite some time (Atkinson & Matsushita, 1991). Atkinson and Matsushita (1991) believe that their study based on Japanese-Americans is likely more credible than the previous study which discussed Asian-Americans. The reason for this is that the previous study did not take into account the acculturation differences of the Asian-Americans in question, where Atkinson and Matsushita did in fact make sure that the participants of their study rated their acculturation level before they began the research (Atkinson & Matsushita, 1991)."

From the Paper
"Robert Goldhammer was an educator who strongly believed that teachers should have ongoing supervision in order to continue their effectiveness and to maximize pupil learning. He was an early proponent of the process of "clinical supervision," a term coined by his mentor, Morris Cogan, during their mutual work at Harvard. He refined Professor Cogan's eight step process, called "the cycle of supervision," to a less complex method of five stages, which he called the "sequence of supervision" His landmark text, Clinical Supervision: Special Methods for the Supervision of Teachers was the first in this new field.
The ideas for clinical supervision found their roots in the ... "

Perceptions of Clinical Supervision, 2005.
A look at helpful and unhelpful behaviours of supervisors and their trainees.
1,312 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Clinical supervision is noted to be the 'cornerstone' of psychological training and support. This paper examines how it is a reflection upon the psychotherapeutic practice of trainee psychologists and involves the establishment of a symbiotic relationship, which is focused towards the trainee's development as a professional. It looks at how clinical supervision is an integrated process in which numerous relationships exist and overlap: that of the supervisor and the supervisee, the supervisee and the client and the supervisor's support within the relationship between the supervisee and the client.
From the Paper
"Helpful aspects sought after by supervisees within the supervisory process, have been noted as a positive and supportive relationship, involving teaching, support and feedback; and thus ultimately allowing supervisee's to enhance their clinical competence (Cushway & Knibbs, 2004). From a supervisory point of view, however, helpful behaviour has been noted as giving feedback to supervisees, monitoring their behaviour during the therapeutic process and providing contingent consequences for such behaviours (Worthington & Roehlke, 1979). Such inconsistency within the concept of 'high-functioning' clinical supervision between supervisors and their supervisees demonstrates the ease of incongruence between perceived effectiveness within the supervisory relationship.

From the Paper
"Important in the definition of clinical ethics is an emphasis on clinicians, not only physicians, thus underscoring the fact that clinical ethics needs to be a multi-disciplinary endeavor that encompasses the range of clinician expertise involved in patient care. The central goal must be the resolution of ethical dilemmas through a process that promotes cooperation and collaboration among those parties involved. Clinical ethics holds that, while the traditional patient-centered approach is dominant, there is a need for the pragmatic acknowledgment that decisions about patient care take place in a context that of necessity involves the interests of others, such as institutions, families, and caregivers."

Clinical Trials, 2002.
A discussion of clinical trial management practices in the United States and Europe.
1,495 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 49.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines clinical trial management practices and how they vary in the United States and Europe as a result of wide-ranging governmental bodies and regulations. It compares and contrasts the rules of the the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and its equivalent in Europe, the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA). In particular, it provides a brief analysis of several areas involved with oncology clinical trial management in the United States and Europe, including a discussion of medical ethics, the role of the Institutional Review Board in clinical trials, quality of life issues and health economics in oncology studies. It also looks at investigator attitudes towards clinical trials, clinical trial length, compliance and decisions regarding new drug applications (NDAs).
From the Paper
"Investigator attitudes towards clinical trials vary widely and are often dependent upon the investigator?s direct involvement in the clinical trial as well as the balance between routine patient care and clinical trial management. According to Abelson, Welch, and Lynch (86), ?In a trial, the clinician?s judgment carries a lot of weight. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration bases approval of drugs upon a clinician?s judgment of who should be in the trial, how to categorize adverse events, whether there is a drug interaction and the interpretation of specific parameters. These judgments are critical.? Investigators are ultimately responsible for all areas of the study, from recruitment and participant selection to event reporting and monitoring."

Cultural Competency Committee, 2004.
This paper discusses the process of developing a cultural competency committee within a behavioral health agency.

Abstract
Developing a cultural competency committee is one alternative in the search for compliance. Recent federal, state, and local laws mandate that multicultural considerations be taken into account in virtually every aspect of public life. This paper discusses how, in the case of behavioral health organizations and agencies, which deal with the most intimate problems of people from many cultures and tradition, not to mention with many different languages as their native tongues, t is paramount to understand all the facets of multiculturalism so that, if the agency decides that instituting a cultural competency committee is the proper course, it will also attend to the proper issues. It looks at one issue that has recently been raised: whether cultural competency and all its ramifications is, in fact, a new twist on racism. Nonetheless, it is clear that behavioral health organizations do deal with many cultures, and approaches must be found to do so in ways that are not discriminatory in intent or in fact.

From the Paper
"There is almost no area of human life that has not been touched in the past fifty years by the specter of discrimination. Although it would seem amazing to some, the fields of psychology, counseling and behavioral therapies have not gone untouched by racism. Indeed, covert and overt racist behavior and thinking was endemic to the American Psychological Association (APA), the academy and mental health organizations during that period. (Morris & Robinson, 2000, p. 239) It is not surprising then that now, in a more enlightened period, those same institutions would seek to rectify this attitude and behavior. One means of doing that is training and managing for ?cultural competency.? This cultural competency, while needed in general, is assumed also to influence the effectiveness of counseling when it must be done in a multicultural setting. (Morris & Robinson, 2000, p. 239)"

Abstract
This paper explains that cultural competence refers to one's ability to understand, interact and respond to individuals with different world views or cultures. The author points out that it differs from cultural awareness or sensitivity in that it is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes and policies, which come together in a system, agency or among professionals and enables them to work effectively in cross-cultural situations The paper stresses that cultural competency includes being sensitive to individuals of different races, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic status, among others. The author underscores that cultural competency is reflected in the professional's attitude and communication style. The paper suggests several steps to develop personal cultural competency.
From the Paper
"Right now, there are many things I can do to promote my own cultural awareness and sensitivity. Of course, I can (and have) take course work in sociology, culture, and communication. However, traditional coursework can only provide factual and historical knowledge, which is why it is important to take courses with an experiential focus where one must interact with others and then reflect upon and self-assess their experiences. Another thing I can do is participate in social activities with a diverse array of individuals."

Authoritarian Supervision, 2004.
An analysis of the authoritarian approach to teaching and supervision.
1,496 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 49.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In today's classroom environment there are many teaching methods and supervision techniques in use. These methods range from the authoritarian approach to the passive approach, providing a wide array of results in academic performance, levels of unacceptable behaviors and overall classroom environments. This paper examines the authoritarian approach to teaching and supervision and discusses the benefits of such a teaching method. Additionally, the paper presents the writer's opinion of why the authoritarian method of supervision is ideal for use in grade school classrooms.
From the Paper
"Additionally, the authoritarian teacher emphasizes rules and discipline. Failure to obey those rules is followed by appropriate punishment techniques. While positive reinforcement is certainly used to encourage good behavior, negative reinforcement is often used to discourage inappropriate behaviors. In short, authoritarian supervision of students depends upon the teacher acting as the ultimate authority, providing direction in all classroom activity and making most classroom decisions (Hawley, 1996)."

Abstract
This paper uses the definition by Benner, Tanner and Chelsea that clinical judgment is often based on patterns of responses, the specific case and the people involved in the situation. The author points out that making a clinical judgment requires nurses to use critical thinking skills. The paper relates that often clinical judgment is based on the patient, family, diagnosis and the situation.
From the Paper
"What is clinical judgment? How does a nurse decide what clinical judgment to make in different cases? The definition by Benner, Tanner, and Chelsea states that clinical judgment is often based on patterns of responses, the specific case, and the people involved in the situation. Making a clinical judgment requires nurses to use critical thinking skills. Often clinical judgment is based on the patient, family, diagnosis, and the situation. The definition of clinical judgment by Benner, Tanner, and Chelsea makes common sense. This definition of clinical judgment most nurses will agree that it is the best definition because past experiences and knowledge mixed with the relationship the nurse has with the patient and family are combined in making clinical judgments.

Abstract
This paper explains that novice nurses cannot come forth with any type of intuitive judgment without first having gained experience but the novice can bring to the clinical situation the years of experience gained in multiple clinical and life situations. The author proposes using a phenomenological interpretive methodology, which is based on the principle of hermeneutics and is of an interpretive qualitative nature. The paper discusses the procedure for using this focus group methodology with paired interviews of novice and expert nurses.

From the Paper
"Through use of this analysis, the competencies required as the individual moves from the stages of novice to expert are easily identified. Benner discovered through listening to expert nurse narratives that the key to their development of expertness was based in their ability to 'experience' nursing, and to integrate this experience into both existing and new knowledge. From this integration of experience and knowledge, new paradigms are developed and available in future 'like' situations."

Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, both jails and prisons use direct supervision techniques. According to Mark Dow, the direct supervision inmate management principle is a means by which "[the] staff is trained to look at people as rational human beings who make conscious decisions whether or not to violate a rule". Direct supervision as a philosophy for prisons first emerged during the 1970s following a long period of neglect. "The Federal Bureau of Prisons was at the forefront of this new generation of facilities and in the process," these authors note, "also experimented with new operational approaches. What eventually became known as direct supervision was refined and used at many of the new federal facilities". At the time, the BOP, in collaboration with its architects, created three metropolitan detention centers in Chicago, New York and San Diego that were specifically designed to facilitate direct-supervision operations."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"A leader with personal vision will monitor and supervise the doctors and hospital staff for their public service ethos. He will check out if they are doing what they deem best according to their individual inner light. Clinical experience is no longer sufficient in service delivery today. Regulatory bodies now consider individual competence. Training standards are now inspected to see if they come up to standards. Clinical performance, which includes the number of deaths in the hospital, prompts the head of a clinical audit to immediately seek out complete and updated information on the incidents. He does not tolerate the number of medical errors and near-misses and will come right to the bottom. It may be traced to organizational problems, clinical incompetence or merely bad media publicity by competitors. But he confronts and contends with the true cause or causes of the mishaps."
