The Clinical Supervision Competencies
Competencies for Substance Abuse Treatment Clinical Supervisors
CSAT's Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) #21-A
NEW FROM CSAT! Introducing TAP 21-A!
Clinical supervision has become an organizational function with its own conceptual framework and methodology. Key competencies for effective clinical supervision represent an array of knowledge and skills pertinent to the clinical, administrative, and evaluative responsibilities of a clinical supervisor. TAP 21-A: Competencies for Substance Abuse Treatment Clinical Supervisors synthesizes the functional responsibilities and essential skills of the clinical supervisor into one document that could serve as a standard for the field.
To develop TAP 21-A, CSAT convened in the Fall 2005 the Clinical Supervision Competencies Task Force composed of experts in substance use disorder treatment and clinical supervision from across the country. They were charged with developing this document. TAP 21-A is designed to accompany SAMHSA's Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) 21, Addiction Counseling Competencies: The Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes of Professional Practice.

In 1998, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) published Technical
Assistance Publication (TAP) 21, Addiction Counseling Competencies:
The Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes of Professional Practice. TAP 21 has
been widely distributed and is now a benchmark by which curricula are
developed and educational programs and professional standards are measured
in the U.S. substance use disorder treatment field. In 2006, CSAT
produced a reformatted, revised version of TAP 21 (Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment, 2006).
