Lawrence Shulman, professor of social work and co-chair of the conference, will lead a June 3 workshop on "Clinical Supervision: The Parallel Process" with Alex Gitterman, professor of social work at the University of Connecticut.
Selected presentations from the conference will be included in a special issue of The Clinical Supervisor Journal.
