Branch X (Analytical approach): The aim of this course is to improve the ability of students to perform psychotherapeutic intervention under clinical supervision by applying the basic framework of the psychoanalytic approach. In addition, in order to be able to experience the characteristics of the clinical environment, the student is expected to practice internally in a clinically intervening institution. The clinical supervision is carried out by means of a face-to-face or other possible communication with the student, after a regularly scheduled interview with the client every week. Clinical supervision (at least 8 weeks of therapeutic treatment should be included) and 70% of the evaluation note constitutes a clinical internship.
Branch Y (Cognitive Approach): Students taking the PSİ 582 and PSİ 594 Clinical Practice and Supervision I and II courses are expected to apply the theoretical basis they have acquired from courses such as Clinical Evaluation in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Interview: Principle and Techniques, Psychopathology, Psychotherapy Methods in the course of psychotherapy.
For this purpose, it is required that the student gain experience in the clinical environment, perform clinical evaluation together with supervision support, form a case formulation and apply appropriate psychotherapy techniques.

It is expected that students will also be able to contribute to the self-awareness that is expected to increase in this process. In line with the stated objectives, students are required to attend classes and meet the conditions of the course.
Since the supervision process is highly possible to learn from the experiences of other students, the responsibilities of the students are not limited to their own clinical experience and the cases they follow. Role plays in this framework are frequently used in the course of the practice, such as hypothetical case formulations, and students are encouraged to take advantage of intra-group interaction. The theoretical content of supervision support will be determined by taking into consideration the learner's experience and experience with the instructor's past education and experience. Expectations related to the course and the evaluation procedure will be shared with the students at the beginning of the semester and if necessary will be tried to be decided together with the necessary changes. In line with these objectives, students will be assessed in relation to course attendance, meeting expectations, and developing the ability to transfer existing theoretical knowledge to practice in psychotherapy.
