The telephone has been used as an instrument for live supervision. This article describes innovative uses of the telephone by a family therapy training team, including (a) strategic calls to the therapist; (b) calls from the team to family members; and (c) calls between family members. Case examples describing the interventions and their impact are given. Both training and therapeutic benefits are discussed.
