Hi folks,
        I'm not new to the list, but I don't think I've
ventured out of my little world and sent any messages for
a long time, so I'll give you a short intro. I'm a
clinical student here at the University of Missouri - St.
Louis doctoral program.  I'm in my second semester and
stressed out just thinking about all the work I have to
do, so I'll be brief...
        During our first year here at UMSL, we are
included in team supervision meetings second semester, even
though we aren't seeing clients until the summer.  This
doesn't present many problems on structured teams that
have some specific "jobs" for first years - readings,
co-therapy, etc.  Unfortunately or fortunately, I'm on a
team with less structure for first years, and I'm able to
forge a path for myself.  This leaves me with the dubious job
of figuring out what is best for me to do with this time.
I would like to feel like I'm making some headway here on
my clinical skills.  Someone out there have any concrete
suggestions for handling this situation? One thing I've
heard of others doing is "mirroring" another student
therapist.  Basically this involves attending their
individual supervision for a specific client and listening
to the tapes of their sessions.  Does anyone have opinions
on this approach?
                        Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
                                Christy
