One of the common assumptions we make is that the skills of a clinical supervisor is the same as the skill of a psychotherapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly there are its overlaps, but I would argue that while a therapist requires well-honed interpersonal skills [1] within the therapeutic context (not just someone who has the gift of the gap in social situations), a supervisor requires the ability to not only coach for performance<\/em> <\/strong>on a case-by-case<\/a> basis with a supervisee’s stuck case, but also coach for development<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, which is the ability to see the bigger picture and plan for the long game on how to help each supervisee develop as a therapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny Cash and How He Came Alive Near the End of His Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“[He] showed up in my life in 1993,” said the legendary country\/folk sing songwriter, the late Johnny Cash. He was referring to Rick Rubin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubin was known for working as a producer with alternative rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nice Inch Nails, AC\/DC, and death metal acts like Slayer. He also co-founded the renowned Hip-Hop outfit Def Jam. Cash described the possibility of collaboration as “pretty unlikely”[2]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He’s the ultimate hippie, clad on top but with hair down over his shoulders, a beard that looks as it it had never been trimmed (it hadn’t), and clothes that would have donee a wino proud.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Given the skepticism, Cash asked Rubin how he’s going to record him as a producer. What is he going to be doing differently from what everyone else had tried. Besides, suffering from health issues and recovering from a lapse in his drug addiction, Cash was feeling low and not knowing where he should go. That said, he was firm-footed that he didn’t want to record on Rubin’s label and “be marketed on the alternative music scene or to the rock n’ roll crowd\u2026 I have no illusions about who I am, how old I am, and what a stretch it might be to relate to these young people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what Rick Rubin said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I won’t do anything\u2026 You’ll do it. You’ll come to my house and sit down in my living room and take a guitar and start singing. At some point, if you want me to, we’ll turn on the recorder, and you will try everything that you ever wanted to record, plus your own songs, plus new songs I might suggest that you love\u2026 I’m not very familiar with a lot of the music you love, but I want to hear it all.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That’s what they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
