Philosophy of Clinical Supervision

"From this history of clinical supervision, our belief is that a large source of failure in clinical supervision stems from the lack of clarity about the supervisor's philosophy of clinical supervision."

So write Francis A Martin and William "Cris" Cannon in their article "The necessity of a philosophy of clinical supervision".  Both are practising counsellors and are involved also in counselor education.

The article has many suggestions on how to refine one's own philosophy regarding supervision both as a supervisor and supervisee.

The paper is part of a project sponsored by the American Counselling Association. This is a link to a PDF file.
