Objectives: This article explores how video supervision that involves clients can influence the outcome of a family therapy case.
Methods: The therapist conducted 18 sessions of family therapy, spread over five months, with a mother and her adolescent son who had been abusing her. The seventh session was video recorded, using a smartphone. Video supervision of this session followed, with the supervisor, therapist, mother, offending son, and 11 supervisees all participating. The supervision session, lasting one and one-half hours, was itself recorded and subsequently transcribed. Analysis was carried out on the transcript of the supervision, the observational records, and the evaluation sheets from the supervisees.
Results: Interactions were noted among the supervisees, between the supervisor and the supervisees, between the supervisor and the clients, and between the supervisees and the clients. A collaborative dialogue among the participants was made possible by focusing on the specifics of the problem and events. This encouraged open conferencing on different alternatives, facilitating the participants’ reflections. Significant changes subsequently occurred in the clients’ personal lives and in the family system, as well as in the therapist’s life.
Conclusions: The adolescent’s abuse of his mother stopped after the video supervision, implying that open conferencing in a safe and cooperative atmosphere may have had a significant effect on the abuse, helping the family to find solutions for this chronic problem.
