Chapter 4: THE SUPERVISOR : PART 2Goals of a SupervisorProbably every supervisor has her own set of goals. And there are most likely a lot of similarities between these lists. Five primary goals might be to help the supervisee:
[QN.No.#12. Supervisor's goals do NOT include: ] A crucial first step, and therefore first goal, in the supervisory process is to establish an alliance between the supervisor and supervisee in which shared goals and methods for achieving them are jointly developed, hopefully with a resultant emotional bond (Bordin, 1983). The more clearly the expectations of this supervisory alliance are set forth, the more successful the alliance will be. Through the following interactions, the set of goals that are developed are appropriate for the supervisee's developmental level and specific to the context in which the supervision takes place. Once the goals are established, distinct methods are planned for reaching the goals. The emotional bond is developed and strengthened through the process of forming the goals and methods.Examples of the kinds of goals this planning might define are (Fallender, 2010): For therapeutic interventions with children and young people, improve skills in setting limits
Examples of possible tasks for meeting those goes are:
Questions to Ask YourselfAt the beginning of your "supervisorship" and at intervals from thereon, it's a good idea to make a workbook to accomplish several things:
More on Developing Your Supervisory Philosophy and AcumenWhat clinical supervision is has already been discussed in detail. The definition may be summarized as "the process of training another clinician to function effectively" (Martin and Cannon, 2010).
It's often assumed that if an individual is a good counselor, he will be a good clinical supervisor. Regrettably, this is probably not the case. Although an essential prerequisite for being a supervisor is experience in clinical work, it's not enough. Bernard and Goodyear (2004), in their classic clinical supervision text, differentiate between models of supervision that are based on a theory or theories of psychotherapy and those based on a developmental model of supervision. Even though breaking down the components of concepts may be a needed and commendable practice, it does not comply with a clinical supervisor's responsibility. A clinical supervision philosophy might start with analyzing concepts, but that should be only a small part of it. A primary obligation of a clinical supervisor is to discuss her personal and professional approach to clinical supervision with the supervisee. This is necessary, in part, as exemplified in the case of a supervisor who is oriented to psychodynamic therapy but is supervising an individual who is oriented to cognitive therapy. The supervisor may be closely connected with a particular theory of therapy, but must still be able to aid a supervisee who is following a very different theory. As a supervisor, you must have a sound understanding of and experience in therapy, but in the supervisory role you must be more effective in your relationship with your supervisees than in carrying out the responsibilities of a therapist. To move yourself into this role, you might ask yourself the following questions:
[QN.No.#13. What questions does a supervisor need to ask to aid in developing his supervisory philosophy?] When you're clear about the answers to questions like these, you'll be in a position to define a clinical supervision philosophy that encases your beliefs about supervision. These beliefs will arise from your thoughts, and from your experiences as a therapist, as one who has received clinical supervision, and an understanding of clinical supervision based on careful study. These beliefs will include--among other things--what you believe about people, about how they change and develop, and how therapy works. Although years of carrying out clinical services is generally required before an individual is deemed capable of becoming a supervisor, McMahon and Simons (2004) believe there is a satisfactory substitute. That is clinical supervision training that includes a doctoral program in counselor supervision and education. They report that this has been shown to prepare able clinical supervisors. Models of SupervisionThe Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (2009a) states that it's vital for supervisors to work from a supervision model that is clearly defined and that provides a meaning and purpose for your role as supervisor. Different writers divide the models in different ways. For obvious reasons, none of them includes all of the possible models of supervision; examples of divisions include:
K. L. Smith (2009) gives the following groupings:
For the purpose of combining these into one discussion, these approaches will be regrouped and integrated in perhaps unorthodox and certainly in unofficial ways in the following sections. Functional Approaches to SupervisionWhen defining supervision and discussing the role of a supervisor, we were basically looking at the functions and focus of supervision. Among the different questions that arise when we do this is, "Whose interest is focused on in supervision?"
Four focuses are each addressed at different times in supervision, according to Rodenhauser, et al. (1985). These four focuses are: 1) organization and professional, 2) planning and assessment, 3) implementation, and 4) personal elements. Smith (1996, 2005) refers to three models of or approaches to supervision developed by Kadushin (1992) that, between them, address these and other issues (Smith, 1996, 2005). Several of the approaches are to be used in tandem, not alone. [QN.No.#14: Functional Approaches to Supervision look at the functions and focus of supervision. They include the following models:] Administrative or Authoritative ModelThe focus of the administrative model of supervision is the proper employment of policies and procedures of the agency. "Proper" employment includes accurate, productive and suitable implementation of them. Some feel that the goal of this model is to make sure that the supervisee exactly follows the procedures and policies, thus allowing her to work at their best level (Brown and Bourne, 1995).
Grasha (2002) states that the "expert and formal authority" style's main goal is to ensure that the supervisee is thoroughly prepared through having sufficient information. He believes that supervisees who find it more difficult to work independently, take initiative, and accept responsibility would most benefit from this approach. However, he also believes that this is not the best way to build a good relationship. Malone (2009) believe this approach does not allow much independent thought and can cause a passive-aggressive response as an attempt to equalize the power structure. However, this approach may be dictated in emergencies and situations that put unforeseen demands on the supervisee. Bureaucratic ModelClosely related to the authoritarian model is the bureaucratic model. In this style or model, the supervisor is basically only looking after him- or her-self and may not back up the supervisee. This can lead to uncertainty and distrust. Supervisees will likely take no risks and will squelch their creativity, fearing that if they make a mistake, they may be "thrown under the bus. " This approach also violates supervisory ethical codes which state that the responsibilities of the supervisor include watching out for the supervisees' wellbeing (Malone, 2009).
Laissez-Faire ModelAt the other extreme of supervisory models is the laissez-faire model, which is just as unethical as the bureaucratic model. In this model, the supervisor exudes a "whatever," passive attitude and generates no confidence in the supervisee. The model lacks direction, objectives, and goals. The supervisee can never be sure what the "right thing" to do is (Malone, 2009).
Educational ModelBecause on many levels supervisees may lack in necessary knowledge, skills or attitude to do their work well, the educational model of supervision is to correct these lacks. Through encouraging exploration of and reflection on their job, the goal is to aid the supervisee to:
Supportive or Facilitative ModelThe primary goal of the supportive approach is to boost the supervisee's job satisfaction and morale. In this approach, the supervisor is aware that supervisees must cope with different stresses that are job-related and could severely influence how they work with their clients, resulting in unsatisfactory service to the clients. Additionally, the supervisee could become "burned out."
Therefore the supervisor does whatever she can to prevent or reduce possibly stressful situations, remove the supervisee from stress, and aid him to adapt to stress. In the process, the supervisor is to be approachable and available, express confidence in the supervisee--even excusing failure if it's fitting, authorize and share responsibility for various decisions, give perspective and opportunities for the supervisee to function independently in situations that will likely be successful for him (Kadushin, 1992). This approach to supervision uses teaching, counseling, coaching, and discipline as needed during the period of supervision. A non-judgmental and safe environment is given, and an effective relationship between the supervisor and supervisee is built. Supervisees are at liberty to explore and develop both the science aspect and the art aspect of clinical work (Malone, 2009). Competency-Based Approaches to SupervisionCompetency-based approaches to supervision primarily target the supervisee's skills and learning needs. This results in setting goals that are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely). Strategies are planned and implemented to accomplish the goals. The basic strategies are role playing, modeling role reversal, demonstrations, teaching, counseling, and consulting (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 2009a).
[QN.No.#15. Competency-Based Approaches to Supervision target the supervisee's skills and learning needs. They include the following models:] Discrimination ModelThe Discrimination Model, defined by Bernard (1997), offers three focuses for supervision (intervention, conceptualization, personalization) to be used in three supervisor roles (teacher, counselor, consultant). This means that a supervisor, in any given situation, would have nine potential ways to respond (three focuses times three roles). As an example, if the supervisor and supervisee are discussing an intervention the supervisee did, the supervisor could:
The response given is to be chosen according to the supervisee's specific needs, so it will be different at different times. The supervisor must first evaluate the ability of the supervisee in the focus area, and then choose the best role to use in his response. The trick for the supervisor is to not respond from the same role or focus because of personal preference, habit, or comfort, but to meet the most prominent needs of the supervisee at that moment (Bernard and Goodyear, 2009). Task-Oriented ModelMeade and Crane (1978) explain that task-oriented supervision is taken from two areas: behavioral models and computer sciences. Categories of essential tasks were derived from computer science, especially expert systems, that are not specific to any theory. Behavioral variables are maneuvered to affect the outcome of supervision; this, in turn, determines the behaviors of both the supervisee and supervisor. In order to develop more effective counselors, the task-oriented supervisor will reinforce the variables of the counselor's behavior.
Meade described the supervisory process as "an experienced therapist safeguarding the welfare of clients by monitoring a less experienced therapist's performance with the clients in a clinical setting with the intent to change the therapist's behavior to resemble that of an experienced expert therapist" (Mead, 1990). In this model, the basic knowledge and skills necessary to carry out clinical tasks are inspected and assessed during supervision on the counselor level. The supervisor observes the counselor's abilities as demonstrated on the job and intervenes as needed to support and correct what the counselor does. The supervisor puts herself in a position to give helpful interventions by identifying tasks that are giving rise to difficulties (Mead, 1990). Microcounseling ModelAnother method for teaching skills is microcounseling (Daniels, Rigazio-Digilio, & Ivey, 1997). It's especially deemed useful for beginning therapists. Specific skills are sequentially organized, and each is taught--one at a time, using tools such as shaping, modeling and social reinforcement. The framework has been increased to include steps for effectively interview cross-culturally, called a Microskills Hierarchy. At the base of this hierarchy is "attending behavior," or being aware of and responsive to verbal, visual and other cues. Next is a listening sequence to aid in drawing the client out and establishing rapport:
Theory- and Treatment-Based Approaches to SupervisionA perusal of a number of articles and sites that discuss different approaches to supervision finds that none of those looked at list both theory-based and treatment-based approaches. There is quite a bit of overlap of the content of the discussion of these two approaches, so--for the purposes of this course--we will look at them as being one and the same.
[QN.No.#16. Theory- and Treatment -Based Approaches to Supervision target the supervisee's theoretical base. They include the following models:] Psychodynamic ModelsThere are a number of models that demonstrate a psychodynamic orientation. They generally have two major areas of commonality:
1.Specifics of the theory, including transference and counter-transference, parallel processes, defense mechanisms, affective reactions and working alliance. Many of these are discussed separately in this course. 2.Three categories of psychodynamic supervision: client-centered, supervisee- or therapist-centered and supervisory-matrix-centered (Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat, 2001; Falender, 2010). Client-Centered ModelFreud began client-centered therapy and supervision, and--as suggested by the name--supervision sessions focus on the client's presentation and behavior. The supervisor acts as a teacher, aiding the supervisee in understanding and treating the client's problems. In essence, the supervisor is the expert who is largely uninvolved, but who has skills and knowledge to aid the supervisor. This approach assigns a great deal of authority to the supervisor. However, as long as both the supervisor and the supervisee understand the theoretical orientation in the same manner, there is little conflict between them because of the focus on the client. This often results in less anxiety in the supervisee, making it easier for her to learn. On the other hand, if conflict should develop, this model does not offer a way to directly deal with it (Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat, 2001).
Supervisee-Centered ModelPsychodynamic supervisee-centered supervision focuses on the process and content of the experience of the supervisee as a counselor--anxieties, resistances, and learning problems. As in the client-centered approach, the supervisee is the uninvolved, authoritative expert. Since the psychological processes of the supervisee are the center of attention, this approach is less didactic and more experiential (Falender and Shafranske, 2004). The advantage of this approach is also a limitation of it: the supervisee gains understanding of her own psychological processes, but is therefore very subject to stress because of the close examination (Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat, 2001).
Supervisory-Matrix-Centered ModelThis approach to supervision also watches over client and supervisee material; however, it also brings in an analysis of the supervisor-supervisee relationship. The supervisor is no longer uninvolved, with his role being to "participate in, reflect upon, and process enactments, and to interpret relational themes that arise within either the therapeutic or supervisory dyads†(Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat, 2001). Included in this is an analysis of parallel process, which Haynes, Corey, and Moulton (2003) define as "the supervisee's interaction with the supervisor that parallels the client's behavior with the supervisee as the therapist.
Feminist ModelMany people's initial response to the word "feminist" is "misandry" (Academic, 2011). However, the feminist approach to supervision is much more benign. Sometimes referred to as "developmental feminism," it's devoted to the ideas of acceptance, equality, integration, inclusion, and growth (Holman and Douglass, 2004). The feminist supervision model asserts that the experiences of an individual reflect standardized values and attitudes of the society (Smith, K. L., 2009). Thus, therapists using the feminist theory tend to put the client's, as well as their own experiences in the context of the society in which they live. Mental illness is often defined as an outcome of oppressive perceptions and behaviors (Haynes, Corey, and Moulton, 2003).
Although the Feminist Therapy Institute is now defunct, they were a leader in the feminist therapy model in 1999, and stressed the therapists' need to recognize differences of power in the client-counselor relationship, and to model productive use of power--personal, structural, and institutional (Smith, K. L., 2009). Though the supervisor-supervisee relationship was not directly addressed, it's assumed that the relationship would be equitable as much as possible, while focusing on empowering the supervisee (ibid). Person-Centered ModelCarl Rogers' person-centered therapy was developed from the belief that a client is able to resolve problems and issues with no direction or interpretation from the counselor (Haynes, Corey, and Moulton, 2003). The counselor simply enables the client to solve them through a specialized collaboration. This is true also in person-centered supervision. The role of the supervisor is to give an environment in which productive learning and growth can take place (Lambers, 2000), utilizing the supervisor-supervisee relationship and their personal characteristics and attitudes to determine the results. Rogers' six conditions that are required in the counselor-client relationship are also important in the supervisor-supervisee relationship:
Cognitive-Behavioral ModelJust as in other theory-based models to supervision, a primary job for a cognitive-behavioral supervisor is to explain and demonstrate cognitive-behavioral techniques. More than in many other approaches to supervision, the cognitive-behavioral supervisor is recognized as a consultant who concentrates on skills and strategies (Falender, 2010). This sort of supervisor uses observable behaviors and understandings, especially the supervisee's reactions to the client and her identity as a therapist (Hayes, Corey, & Moulton, 2003). Techniques most often used by the supervisor include planning an agenda for each supervision session, connecting with the agenda of previous sessions, giving homework to the supervisee, and summarizing processes, gains, behaviors and all else that is faced along the way (Liese and Beck, 1997).
Narrative Systemic ModelFalender (2010) identifies narrative, intersubjective and postmodern models as being three names of the same model. There is overlap between the three, but they're distinct. Most simplistically:
Postmodern theory may be the father of narrative and intersubjective theories. Postmodern theory has been applied to a variety of disciplines, including counseling. It's a philosophical framework that believes that knowledge is constructed socially and is language based. It's in opposition to more common modernist beliefs that embrace objectivist approaches. In the midst of a growing understanding that no one clinical theory can possibly give reason for every type of problem and client. This gave rise to the strategic eclecticism model which permits a systematic selecting of different techniques and theories that focus on the process of change instead of the content to be changed (Rudes and Guterman, 2005). One common postmodern view is that what a person knows is based on his interpretation of the world around him; reality only exists in one's interpretations (Eppler and Carolan, 2005). Intersubjective theory is a framework that emphasizes context and perspective, and can be used by people with a variety of theoretical outlooks. It has been depicted as a procedure in which two people, such as the therapist and client or the supervisor and supervisee, focus on the experiences of one of them (client or supervisee) and on how their relationship affects that person (Jacobs, 1992). Narrative theory is based on the view of reality from the postmodern theories. It focuses on language and depends on narrative metaphors. When clients (and supervisees) tell their experiences, it's as a story for which the society they live in has "template narratives" for how these stories should unfurl. When the client's or supervisee's story unfurls differently from the social narrative "templates," the therapist or supervisor collaborates with the client or supervisee to discover their untold events and plots that may be used to address the experience or problem and conceive new story endings to pursue (Mick, 2011). Each of these theories may be used as a model for supervision. And this is where the overlap of these theories comes to play. With each theory, the supervisor basically aids the supervisee in working with clients, developing the supervisee's experience in some type of context, and assembling the necessary reality around that (Falender, 2010). Developmental Approaches to SupervisionFor many years, developmental supervision theories have been a major focus for research and theory. In fact, there have been so many developmental models that some have encouraged researchers and theorists to work at consolidating those that already exist (Falender, 2010).
For the most part, developmental approaches to supervision describe advancing levels, from beginner to proficient, through which a supervisee progresses. Each level is made of distinct attributes and skills. Supervisees just beginning would only be expected to have few skills and little belief in themselves as counselors. Supervisees at a middle level of development would have more confidence and skill along with contradictory perceptions about their independence as a counselor and dependence on the supervisor. A supervisee who has reached the proficient level will probably have good problem-solving skills and give a great deal of thought about the process of counseling and supervision (Haynes, Corey, & Moulton, 2003). Developmental-approach supervisors find that the essential element is correctly determining the current level of the supervisee and offering support and feedback that is suitable to that developmental level. At the same time, they must assist the supervisee's progress to the next level. To do this, the supervisor often uses a two-way process, called "scaffolding" (Zimmerman & Schunk, 2003). This process helps the supervisee to use preexisting knowledge and skills to bring about further learning. As the supervisee begins to reach expertise at each level, the supervisor slowly moves the scaffold to include knowledge and skills from the next level up. All during this process, the supervisee is not only given additional information and counseling skills, but is able to develop better critical thinking skills through the interactions with the supervisor. This is not a linear process; the levels can be influenced by changes in setting, assignment, and client population (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 2009a). The supervisee may be in different levels at once. She may be at a middle development level in general, but still feel a high level of anxiety when a new client situation presents itself (Smith, 2009). Or the supervisee may be at a very high level in cognitive-behavioral intervention for children with ADHD, but only at a beginning level in strategic family therapy (Falender, 2010). Levels are also subjective as related to the supervisee. A supervisee who has finished a master's program may be less clinically sophisticated than a particular practicum supervisee. [QN.No.#17. Developmental Approaches to Supervision describe progressive levels that the supervisee attains. They include the following models:] Falender (2010) sums up the premises of developmental approaches of supervision as:
Integrated Developmental ModelFrom 1981 to 2004, the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM) was perhaps the most researched supervision developmental model. Three counselor-developmental levels are described in the theory:
Level 1--Supervisees are usually still students; they're high in motivation, but also in anxiety. They may also be nervous about being evaluated. Level 2--These supervisees are at a middle level; they have vacillating motivation and confidence. They may connect client success with their own mood. Level 3--At this stage, supervisees are generally secure, motivation is stable, and empathy is accurately moderated by objectivity. They're able to use their "therapeutic self" in interventions. As in other developmental theories, supervisors need to use approaches and skills that match the supervisees' level. Thus, when working with a supervisee who is at level 1, you need to be both supportive and authoritative to balance the high levels of anxiety and dependence. When working with a supervisee at level 3, you would need to give priority to supervisor autonomy and use collaborative challenging. Should a supervisor habitually badly match her reactions with the supervisee's level of development, it would make it very difficult for the supervisee to gain mastery of any developmental stage. As an example, a supervisor who expects a level-1 supervisee to exhibit autonomous behavior will most likely increase the supervisee's anxiety. Although the IDM presents a flexible but clear theoretical model of developmental supervision, there are several weaknesses to note (Haynes, Corey, & Moulton, 2003):
Theoretical integration includes more than a simple blending of techniques. The goal is to make a theoretic framework that combines two or more of the best theories, resulting in a richer effect than any single theory. Technical eclecticism, on the other hand, focuses on differences. It chooses from a variety of approaches and is a collection of techniques. One may use techniques from any theory without necessarily subscribing to that theory. Developmental Phase ModelThe Developmental Phase Model from Ronnestad and Skovholt (1993) addresses the first weakness listed above for the IDM. One hundred counselors and therapists with experience ranging from graduate students to professionals having 25 years of experience on average were interviewed by Ronnestad and Skovholt. The acquired data was analyzed three ways, resulting in stage model, a model of professional development and stagnation, and the formulation of a theme (Ronnestad and Skovholt, 1993).
The 2003 revision of the model consists of six developmental phases. The first three phases are approximate matches of the IDM levels:
In summary, this theory notes that process of developing a therapist or counselor is complex and needs constant reflection. Ronnestad and Skovholt (2003) also report that just like the strong influence the client-counselor relationship has on treatment outcome, the way therapists handle problems and challenges in the client relationship influences the therapists professional growth or stagnation. Process-Oriented and Other Approaches to SupervisionProcess-oriented approaches to supervision are those in which basic roles and tasks are defined (Bernard, 1997). In that sense, the tables above could be called process-oriented. In 1980, Hess defined several roles, calling them "models":
[QN.No.#18. Process-Oriented and Other Approaches to Supervision define basic roles and tasks. They include the following models:] Other models are discussed below. Each of the models can be helpful in talking with supervisees in order to decide what roles the supervisor may play during supervisory sessions, whether or not the roles are balanced, and if the supervisee would be more comfortable with less of some of them. It also helps to find out if the supervisee believes that the deblockedions are sufficient to cover the complete supervisory process, and if they aren't, what could you add (Falender, 2010).
Discrimination ModelThe Discrimination Model, first published in 1979 by Janine Bernard, has been mention as a competency-based approach. It's also one of the most used and researched of the integrative supervision models. In review, this model is made up of three possible roles for a supervisor (teacher, counselor, consultant) and three different focuses (intervention, conceptualization, personalization). The resulting nine possible ways a supervisor can respond at any given time form the basis for supervision. Bernard and Goodyear (2004) mention other models that offer extended ideas of supervisor roles that include administrator, evaluator, facilitator, and monitor.
Systems ModelThe center of supervision in a systems approach is the supervisor-supervisee relationship. This relationship involved both parties mutually and aims to give power to both (Holloway, 1995).� This central relationship connects the seven supervision dimensions:
Holloway (1995) provides a grid to represent the functions and tasks of the systems approach model:
To use the grid in a practical way in supervision, it can be looked at this way: A. The supervisee is over-identified with a client, but is similar to the client demographically. B. The supervisor is from a different ethnic group and culture. The could be used to determine potential interventions of sharing and supporting in a context of self-assessment, or advising and instructing case conceptualization, while at the same time aiding the supervisee to pull out personal elements that could be intersecting with the professional role (Falender, 2010). Dialectical Behavioral ModelThe focus of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) supervision is a kind of parallel process in which the therapist treats the client and the supervisor "treats" the supervisee (Fruzzetti, Waltz, & Linehan, 1997).The approach leads to eloquent clinical supervision, but needs intricate and involved training in the model in order to be able to be used in supervision.
It's assumed that the logical agreement is arbitrated so that there is no absolute truth, the therapist is fallible and not necessarily consistent; the therapist also consults with the client about effective interaction with professionals. A balance must be found between finding, valuing, and nurturing the innate ability of the supervisee to skillfully help others, all the while determining which skills the supervisee does not have and helping him to develop them. According to Falender (2010), some aspects of DBT supervision are:
Interpersonal Process Recall ModelBased on the hypothesis that people behave diplomatically, Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) states that a supervisee automatically disregards much of what he thinks, feels, or intuits during therapy because it would challenge the fundamental inclination to be diplomatic if they were allowed to surface. IPR purposes to give the supervisee a protected place for internal responses. The supervisor acts as a facilitator, provoking greater awareness of what took place during the therapy session.
The actual IPE process requires the supervisor and supervisee to view a video made of the counseling session. While looking at it, at any time when either notices a valuable moment that was not addressed, the video is stopped and the supervisee reflects. She may attest to impatience, anger, frustration or other emotional reactions. The supervisor lets the supervisee explore internal resolution processes. The supervisor doesn't teach, but may ask question such as:
They continue the process with the tape once again turned on. It's a very slow process and it puts these interpersonal dynamics in a spot that so magnifies them that they may be distorted. The supervisor's role is to decide which interactions are truly important. This technique should not be used until a meaningful supervisory alliance has been established (Falender, 2010). Seven-Eyed Supervisor ModelIn this uniquely named supervision model, Hawkins and Shohet (2000) proposed exploring a variety of influences on supervisory activity. The basis is understanding the ways things connect, interrelate, and arouse activity. It also joins together aspects and insights of psychotherapy and the internal life of the people involved (Hawkins, 2008).
In moving through these modes, the supervisor needs to be sure that she doesn't get stuck in using just one of them. It is recommended to begin with #1 by talking about specific counseling sessions. Move to #3 and #4 to explore what is happening in the supervisee/client relationship as well as in the supervisor/supervisee relationship. Then move to #5 and #6, exploring the here and now supervisor/supervisee relationship, and include #7 to bring in a wider context. Finally, using new insights and a shift in the supervisory pattern, go to #2 to investigate other interventions that might be used in the next session. According to Hawkins (2008), a live rehearsal of using that intervention while in the supervision session makes it much more likely to happen in the therapy session. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objective 2: Explain at least five goals of a supervisor.
