About
Consultation-of-consultation is a collaborative relationship between mental health clinicians in which a consultant provides feedback and guidance to a Consultant in Training (CIT). The feedback is focused on the CIT’s skills and ability to provide consultation to other clinicians based on material presented by the CIT, direct observation, or recorded observation. The consultation-of-consultation should be structured in format and the CIT is expected to provide examples of their ability to provide consultation to others. The CIT is expected to work with at least five different consultees, three of whom have already completed the EMDR basic training. The consultant is expected to review, evaluate and determine the readiness of the CIT as part of the process. Although co-leading consultation groups and shadowing (which is defined as being present while a consultant provides consultation) are significant and valuable for the CIT process, these activities themselves do not directly count as consultation-of-consultation hours. (In other words, consultation-of-consultation does not occur during the training event.)
Note: Only Approved Consultants can provide consultation-of-consultation to Consultants in Training.
