Current Trends Concerning Supervisors, Supervisees, and Clients in Clinical Supervision

Abstract

In an effort to better understand the trends, make inferences, and identify gaps in the existing research conducted in the area of clinical supervision across the globe, this chapter provides a review of the past 18 years of empirical work and a critical and integrative analysis of the published research in clinical supervision across multiple disciplines globally. It focuses on seven broad themes: relevance and access to supervision, supervisee-supervisor development, relationship issues in supervision, multicultural issues in supervision, role of supervision in therapy and client outcome, evaluations and ethical issues in supervision, and specialization areas in supervision. The evidence supports the supervisory relationship as the most important component of effective clinical supervision. In future, researchers can seek a more nuanced understanding of why and how supervisor, supervisee, and interactional processes shape the relationship over time.
